Kuruppa, the mascot of Kurume City in Fukuoka, is an egg-shaped, stoic-faced kappa (water imp of folklore).

My friend @samkalensky.com is making a sticker of Kurayaro (a saddle turned yokai) and asked me if I could figure out what part of the saddle this pipe-shaped thing could be. I of course had to make the joke (read the alt text if you need more context)

Hi everyone, it's new article day 🥰

This week, Javier Hanson explores manga and anime's fascination with demon hunting, tracing how foundational works like Gegege no Kitaro and Yu Yu Hakusho continue to influence the genre to this day. It's a fantastic read and we hope you enjoy it.

“Let’s Go Get Some Demons!” – Anime’s Obsession With Demon Hunting
You don't gotta be a yokai fanatic or a Japanese mythology extraordinaire to enjoy these great shows, and hey, I'm neither of them! Keep those demon hunting shows on rotation.

Yokai of the Day:

Kappa musume--This creature shows up at villages and just tries to blend in. After all, it looks just like a cute Japanese girl looking for something to eat. It's actually a kappa in disguise. Unlike most kappas, this one just runs away if discovered.

3rd entry of the Yaseki's Bestiary: the Kappa!

Most likely the most famous Yokai there is. They infest the lakes, rivers, and ponds of Japan. It might look harmless, but even the lowest Yokai can kill when cornered or hungry.

Cover reveal of BLOOD OF THE KAMI coming soon!
