I am a huge fan of Japanese Yokai. Something about them is just badass. Unlike most myths which are just "I eat people and I do the creepy thing", Yokai can be all sorts of things. They can be good, bad, and they are ALWAYS creepy. Not to mention how media portrays them. Tom Nook, the entire Persona series, a majority out of the 800+ Pokemon, ect. It's just amazing.

[@mattsen4297]

[@idtyu]

Fun fact, onmyoji is developed entirely by netease, which is a Chinese company

[@raikazuchi2516]

"Kama" means scythe or sickle, not wind. It's only said that kamaitachi rode the wind, or at least moved like it. Not all bakeneko have two tails; that's called a nekomata, and has a wildly more intense set of powers and temperament. The last picture you show during the Inugami breakdown is actually a Kasha, a cat yōkai. Tsukumogami, what the Karakasa is, are common objects that reach sentience after they've existed for one hundred years, not ninety-nine. There's no time period for Kirin. They appear in either times of great peace or great conflict to signify the coming of a drastic change and/or powerful leader.

I think that the Japanese anime Inuyasha was inspired by this myth

[@captainladybug8881]

It was very heavily inspired by myths. Same for others like Naruto, Noragami, etc.

[@Bootyeater6969_]

I agree 😊😊😊

[@thedragonknight3350]

Yes. Even the snow woman amongst others made it into an episode

[@kiarasabur5338]

U mean yo-kai watch

[@lovevuite]

Karakasa-obake, the umbrella yokai is very similar to our native lore. It has one leg and one eye and it would frighten people. But if any person were to catch one, it would grant everything that person could say under one breath. We call it pheichham in our region, its quite popular too. I have always thought it weird that there was a similar tale in Japanese myths, when i first watched Spooky Kitarou, I told my mom about it and she was puzzled too.

[@kittenmitts8883]

Is it from the story of the two poor brothers?

[@phillip7731]

I mean the origins of the Japanese Jomon people is in Siberia, the same place the native Americans are from. The similarity might stem from there. The story might have developed independently (considering an umbrella only has one "leg"). Or maybe the Japanese and the native Americans interacted during more modern time at some point.

[@marcopohl4875]

"our native lore", where are you from?

[@lovevuite]

@@phillip7731 we're Mongolian descent so being influenced by Siberia moreover, America is pretty minimal. Also, we were a socially cut off tribe, as most of our ancestors were headhunters, so even communicating with us could only happen until the world wars and most of our folklore was developed before that period.

[@FifaMaestroAdam]

Can u recommend me some

[@Mokiefraggle]

@@FifaMaestroAdam Yōkai Monsters: Spook Warfare is a good one, as is the kinda-sorta loose remake The Great Yōkai War (both of them are called Yōkai Daisensō in Japanese, but the second was made in 2005), as is the film that came before them, Yōkai Hyaku Monogatari (often titled in English as Yōkai Monsters: 100 Monsters). There is also the manga series GeGeGe no Kitaro, the most recent anime adaptation of which I believe is still on Crunchyroll.
