an angry looking mouse that is about to explode!

Kodama-nezumi live in the mountain forests of Tohoku in Japan. If you anger the mountain gods, these spherical mouse yokai will inflate like a balloon until they explode with a noise louder than gunshot and splatter their innards everywhere! #folklorethursday

[Top Section] Tonkaraton; Region: Japan [Middle Section] A guaze-wrapped humanoid grin atop a bicycle, his left eye and his mouth visible and a katana in his right hand. Accompanied by descriptive text. A late evening bike-riding yokai, wrapped in gauze with a katana sheathed on his back. Sings "Ton, Ton, Tonkara, Ton." but stops when encountering a person, approaching them and asking them to say "Tonkaraton". Say it and he will leave. Refuse and he will cut you down, say it before he asks and he will cut you down. Those cut down will manifest gauze wrapping, becoming a Tonkaraton. [Bottom Section] Some depictions in popular culture: Dandadan, Ch. 215 - 219 (2025), Gakkou no Kowai Uwada: Hanako-san ga Kita, E10 (1994)

A shocking sight to come upon when walking near the end of the day, one only has to stay calm and remember to speak only when asked. Alternatively, some say gauze wrapped around the left hand will cause Tonkaraton to believe you are his friend and carry on.

Fans of the cult anime Ghost Stories might remember Babasare. The hag who comes knocking at your door to slice you with her scythe once you’ve heard her name like a more gruesome Candlejack. Thankfully she can be dispelled by chanting her name three times…wait🤔

Nebutori from ehon hyakku monogatari 1841

Nebutori - [Yokai] - Nebutori are Supernatural illnesses (which only effect women) They personify the superstition that “Sleeping after eating will make you gain weight.” They become slobs & snore so loudly that its enough to shake carts on the street! 🥲- Full Post: samkalensky.com/products/neb...

My new yokai-themed cards in Secrets of Strixhaven are out! The first one is based on a dorotabō, and the second one on ouni. The third one is I'm fairly sure the first time a Chōjū Giga-inspired M:tG cards has appeared.

Here’s some Kamakiri-sans from my urban legend picture book collection

3 Little-known Yet Horrifying Japanese School Monsters (Japanese Horror Creatures) YouTube video by Tara A. Devlin

Kamakiri-san is in a lot of my Japanese picture books on urban legends so I was happy to finally learn his story. He’s better than I imagined! A giant mantis that tears the legs off bad children who tear the legs off of insects! Then reincarnates the child as a mantis! 💕

Deleted previous post because I mistyped the yokai’s name

I’d like it if people would learn more about other spooky places in Japan instead of morbidly obsessing over Aokigahara but then I wouldn’t want people twisting the story of those other places like they’ve done Aokigahara.

Shigeru Mizuki's THE DEFINITIVE YOKAI FIELD GUIDE is coming to English this April!

The was a personal request by Mizuki to have translated--the last such request he made. He felt it was the culmination of his work as an educator on Yokai.

Fairies Were Never Innocent: The Dark Folklore We Forgot YouTube video by The Moonlight Circle - History & Mystery

Wonderful video on old fairy lore. There’s a very brief mention of yokai and kami in the usual “This exists in many cultures” way. Usually I don’t like compressing cultures like that but- yeah, I do think yokai vibe with old fairy legends. Definitely more than demons do.
