Kamijou Faction

The Kamijou Faction (上条勢力), or Kamijou Party, is a "new group" which technically does not exist in any tangible form. However, the possibility of the "faction" becoming a real group is "feared" by certain individuals on the magic side, including Etzali (initially) of the Return of the Winged One, because it might destroy the actual balance of power between the magic and science; ; the group "violates the regular rules" existent in current organizations since "it's composed" of espers, magicians and regular people who were allied with Kamijo Touma, contrary to most organizations that use only magicians, only espers or only people unrelated to either side in their operations.

Initially the group is mentioned by Etzali and after that, its name is never mentioned again by any other characters except Lessar and the High Priest, so the name can be considered non-canon, but the individuals' connection with Touma are canon.

Background
Excluding Index, Touma meets his allies unexpectedly, and they help each other in many situations. Their connection with Touma were formed due to many reasons such as they have feelings for him (Misaka Mikoto and Itsuwa), they are friends of him (Tsuchimikado Motoharu), they have respect for him (Stiyl Magnus and Kanzaki Kaori respect him for saving Index), their lives were saved by him (Himegami Aisa and Lessar), they were encouraged by him despite the fact that they were not human (Misaka 10032 and Kazakiri Hyouka), they changed their ways of living after being defeated by him (Accelerator and Hamazura Shiage), they have a history with him (Kumokawa Seria and Shokuhou Misaki), they wanted to use him for the Imagine Breaker (Leivinia Birdway), or they faced the same enemy when they met each other (Sogiita Gunha and Kakine Teitoku).

Etzali pointed out that the most troublesome thing about the group was that they took radical actions in order to solve problems and thus "couldn't be ignored", Etzali also pointed out that every member allies himself to the group out of their own volition, beliefs and conviction, and thus they would never betray Touma, can't be bribed out of the group and would not switch sides regardless of the consequences. He references on how the faction will survive even if Touma dies, as the bonds between the various members can't be dissolved.

Allies
The individuals below are not 'members' but rather people who were connected with Touma. Most of these people used to lead difficult lives or have problems that they could not handle, such as in Index's case, being a container of the 103,000 grimoires. Moreover, some of these people have been previously antagonistic towards Touma, such as Kanzaki Kaori. However, Touma helped them even if they refused his help, because of him, their lives were changed and they had become trustworthy allies who helped Touma in battle or other situations (except in his unlucky peaceful daily life and his homework). They are also grateful to Touma and believed in his strength. One of the evidence is confirmed, like his friend Tsuchimikado Motoharu who once warns Aleister that if he wants to use Touma for his unknown but selfish plans, Touma will break down Aleister's illusions.

Their relationships with each other in the story are normal (sometimes in a comedic way) when it is peaceful. But when a crisis occurs, they seriously helped each other so they can return to those peaceful days.

 * England's royalty (as shown in the end of New Testament Volume 10, extended after the events of the British Halloween).
 * Many other unnamed smaller cabals and organizatios that could move out of fear from Kamijou Touma, as shown be Etzali and Kanou Shinka, Touma's influence has moved deep into the large organizations that the smaller ones fear him not knowing of his real personality.

Trivia

 * There are evidences that in the Magic Side magicians and organizations believe that this faction is very dangerous and influential; while others want to join.
 * Etzali was one of the first to point out the danger that the so called group represents, regardless of that he ended up "allying" himself with the ideas faction.
 * After Lessar mentioned the 'Kamijou Faction', she said that she does not want to be a part of it. However, she did not abandon Touma and kept on assisting him during his journey to save Index. Her journey with Touma is solid evidence that she is one of Touma's allies.
 * Since Touma is somehow related to several influential people, one could say that the faction has several resources. For example: Third Princess Villian, Elizalina, President Roberto Katze, Oyafune Monaka, or Kaizumi Tsugutoshi.
