Yōkai Files: Kappa (河童) - The River Monsters of Japanese Folklore
One of the most famous yōkai, or supernatural monsters, spirits, or demons in Japanese folklore, is the Kappa. Kappa (河童, river-child) are amphibious monsters and are typically depicted as green, human-like beings with webbed hands and feet and a turtle-like shell on their backs. A depression or kind of dish on its head retains water, and if this is damaged or its liquid is lost either through spilling or drying up, the kappa is severely weakened.
The kappa love to eat cucumbers and they love to engage in sumo wrestling. They are often accused of assaulting humans in water and removing a mythical organ from their victim’s anus called the shirikodama. So, whenever swimming in Japanese rivers make sure to keep one eye out for the kappa and the other eye on your butt!
