Jubokko reminded me of an indigenous story I heard. It says that somewhere on a river in the Amazon, there's a certain forest, and in this forest there's a tree. The tree's trunk is made out of flesh; its leaves, long, black hair. The fruits are eyes that look at you intensely. Its said that it is harmless, just scary af.
I have noticed that the Super Mario Bros enemy Thwomp is based on the Tsurube Otoshi and the Thwimps are based on the smaller versions of that yokai. Plus Whomp is based on the Nurikabe.
I dunno if you read these at all, but I wanted to say thank you for making these videos. When I lived in Japan, I lived in Shinjuku for a short time, then moved to Okinawa. Okinawa is such a vastly different place, and I didn't get much of the same historic and cultural folklore view of the mainland. Okinawa was very, very xenophobic, and still is. It took a long time to get people to like me enough to tell me stories that they grew up on, and it still felt very confusing for someone who hadn't lived there for very long without the culture that made these things understandable. These days I can't even go to mainland and speak to anyone. I only speak 沖縄大和口. It's like going to New York and speaking South-Boonie Alabama. No one can understand me. Which, y'know.. is fine, but I feel disconnected from my own culture. Okinawa folklore is also nothing like the mainland, so most of this is completely new to me, or at least has a deviation in some way. So thank you for doing this. It's been really, really nice to learn this tuff in a way that's cute, appealing, approachable, and I talk to my brother and grandmother about it sometimes. They love hearing me translate your stories and really enjoy the folklore they hadn't heard either. My grandma is from China, moving back after her Husband passed, and my brother travels a lot. So, it's kind of nice to have something that they love I can share with them that appeals to all of us. I've never been close to any of my family, but this is something I can legitimately say brings us closer. Thanks man. You're honestly really, really, amazing.
Wow thanks for the kind words. Glad the vids have brought you a bit closer to your family. Hope you find opportunity to get closer still, if that is your wish :)
@@Linfamy Course. We're actually currently binge watching your stuff on discord with grandma! She wants to act like a fox has possessed her for a day and see if her neighbors are as nosy as they seem. Classic grandma :) Are you still looking for an editor?

I do editing at a professional level daily, and a have a bachelors in VFX/CGI. I can't dedicate my entire week to it (unless the pay be poppin') but I can absolutely give you a hand, or do closed captions for you. In fact I'd be honored to do CC for nothing as long as it can be a bit late. Again, I highly appreciate you. Thank you so much again. Gamma and Cam say hello and ask me to pass on their gratitude for your funny personality, writing and good animation/art. They love it.
This has to be one of the funniest vids yet. Love it. As to my fave...it's between 3. 1) Shadow monk 'cause slightly less fatal. 2) The beach one. Merpeople/sirens are the best. 3) The banana one because that's just...out there.
I live in North America. I've been through all the mythical and cryptid creatures here, either researching, reading about, hunting with a camera (or all three ), and I appreciate hearing accounts of these creatures from other cultures. Your channel is great! Yokai are so funny and many are hilariously bizarre. I want to hunt them!
I'm super interested in knowing what cultural, sociological or psychiatric reasons could be behind those yokai, like the isolation and starvation suffered by pilgrims are likely behind the wendigo psychosis
@@meetaverma8372 Changelings were actually violently malformed children. They were mostly left to die because " oh this cant be my child! It was a fae who did this" and they were often left in forests so that the fae "could reclaim thier child"
@@IncorrectBunny how the f did parents do that, if my kid's malformed I'd still love them. They're my child, and I'm a woman. Evolution has made me into this motherly human
1) Tsurube Otoshi -giant flaming head yokai 2) Shitanaga Uba -long tongued licking hag yokai 3) Shunabon -one eyed, one horned demon yokai 4) Iso-onna -beach wet woman yokai 5) Jubokko -vampire tree child yokai 6) Hari-onna -hook woman with bad hair yokai 7) Akkorokamui -giant red octopus god of the ainu mythology in hokkaido 8) Bashō no sei -spirit of bananas yokai native to okinawa that can make you pregnant 9) Kuro bōzu -licking pervy black monk yokai
Thanks, Lin. Your series on the supernatural has widened my enjoyment of Hozuki's Coolheadedness. So many tropes incomprehensible unless the westerner gets a crash course from a friendly poster.
That jubokko reminds me of the saigyou ayakashi. But instead of being derived from battlefields and succs victims violently, the ayakashi is a sakura tree who is known for being a final resting place of some monk guy who was too much into cherry blossoms. After the monk's passing, it grew to be a popular grave of choice for many. After its roots took in so much blood of the dead, it started becoming a youkai tree that entices the unwary to rest beneath it, before succing them gently, kinda like the massive thing in the Polish horror game Darkwood. Nowadays, the thing lies dormant bcuz it's been sealed away a millennium ago and loses its charm for being unable to bloom anymore
You should cover the Game White Day. I know it takes place in Korea, but it reference several Yokai and evil spirits while also being about a holiday that's basically Men's Valentines (March 14th), a day in which men repay a girl's love from Valentines day. This holiday is celebrated in Korea and in Japan. Highlights include a spider woman Yokai, a Fox spirit, a mermaid spirit, the spirit of a unborn child, Jubokko, a long neck Yokai, and even a spirit powerful enough to command a labyrinth of souls
Awesome video! Japanese Youkai are fascinating 🙂. The giant Octopus reminds me of the giant octoroks that Link has to battle on a boat in Zelda: Windwaker.
“Tsurube otoshi (giant flaming head) can be either the size of a normal head to a full person” I wonder if this was where Stephen King got some of his inspiration for the Langoliers.
Watching this video is like those "Who's That Pokemon?" sketches and then recoiling in horror when you realized one of your favorite Pokemon is very similar to this Yokai. (My love for Ghastly, Haunter and Gengar suddenly became more suspicious after the first Yokai.)
On a marathon trip through the archives of your channel. I've a few of the longer videos yet to watch but I will catch up. Anywho keep up the binge-worthy content.
I've actually heard of most of these, however there were 3 that I've never heard of. The first 2 and the banana one. But even though I knew of most, a Linfamy video still deserves a like
Anonymous Tip: Hey sir Linfamy 🙂 I just wanted to give you a tip on something that I think you'll like. There's a Game, quite old and underrated but it delves into Japanese culture so much that no one can decode every reference. The game's name is Okami.
I was gonna feel sad if I didn't get at least one of these. I'm so happy I knew the octopus god. Fun fact about it: it's tied to the point of myth mixing with a divine spider, so, for uniqueness points, you could treat this as a gigantic, vermillion spider octopus creature.
Nothing like a good inspiration for my groups RP stories thanks so much for making these videos. They are really fun and informative I hope you make another dangerous Yokai video got to keep the Thrills right?😄
Interesting: 7 of the 8 yokai you presented here are ones im not familiar with... And i do enjoy reading up about these creatures... So seeing more was really nice :) Also, does the Ainu tribe name their gods as "Kamui"? This is the 2nd time Ive seen an Ainu god have the name kamui in their names. The other one i know is Kanna Kamui, the storm bird or storm dragon (depending on interpretation). Edit: Lolz less than 5 mins searching Google confirms that Kamui or Kamuy IS the title given by Ainu for their gods
What if the Tsurube Otoshi were just a jackfruit and people were extremely terrified by the discovery of a new, heavy fruit? ps: thank god watermelons don't grow on trees...
I can't help but wonder how many people in ancient Japan might have died because when they were in distress but others feared they were one of the dozens of youkai who pose as humans to lure victims so stayed away.
I saw the notification 38 minutes from its release - and I thought to myself "if it doesn't have at least 1k views, I am gonna be so pissed off". And what do you know, it was 1.3k!
That would explain why Story Dive Just uploaded a video about Yokai too. Holyshit xxxHolic was right. there is no such thing as coincidence in this world
i here of at least 3 of these but i still am thankful for bring light to the ones i never here of becues i love yokai but i can have them in my stories because some are so popular and it's all i ever here about
that last one... I suppose people would think may have happened to me :/ I had Pneumonia when I was 5 years old. it left scaring on my lungs like tinny holes or dimples that would fill with puss when I had a cold. I was able to live like that with antibiotics... until 3 years ago... One morning my breath smelt like rot, I really cant describe the smell. it was just WRONG. it seemed to happen over night. but really it was over 25 years. I had a cist... it completely filled the lower lobe of my right lung. It had ruptured and spilled over to the left. My doctor and surgent said I had over three hundred different types of bacteria growing in my lungs. I had an operation to cut it out... but even in this day and age... no one knows how I am alive
2:18 if you take into account he said they would torture the victim and if you think the victim was a girl you might think other things of that shaking tree...
You always have all of these cool japanese prints and artworks in your videos! Where do you find them? Or where could I find some of the titles/artists?
I agree that Iso Onna and the vampire tree are one of the most dangerous yokai, but I think that the Oni and the shinigami are far more dangerous. Seriously, the one is a bloodthirsty killer demon and the other is a grim reaper, but with a katana instead of a scythe and the name means god of death (shinigami). Well of course you can't show all dangerous yokai in just one video, but these are just worth mentioning (especially Shinigami)
I know this was ages ago, but in case you are actually typing the Japanese names, like for example Akkorokamui, when it comes to double consonants (the kk in this case), make sure you're typing the word as Akkorokamui so it looks like this アッコロカムイ and not this アツコロカムイ (as in the video) which is instead transliterated as "Atsukorokamui". To explain (if you can be bothered lol), when there are double consonants in English transliterations, these are represented in Japanese using a small sized tsu. つ → っ for hiragana or ツ → ッ for katakana. But we don't actually pronounce the tsu as 'tsu' when it's small. The double consonants in English transliterations of Japanese or the small tsus represent a tiny little pause. To give an example, when we say the word "bookkeeper" we actually say one 'k' with a slight pause before it, rather than distinctly book+keeper. Try it and you'll see what I mean. So in Japanese it's like booッkeeper to represent that sound. If you forget to make the tsu small then you actually pronounce it as tsu.
The first Yokai reminds me of the obscure cult classic famicom game called "ZOMBIE NATION", where you play as a decapitated head shooting down buildings and destroying other areal demonic entities by spitting fireballs at them.
I'm wanting to know how those giant heads threw rocks and got back into the trees after the finished devouring a person. It seems that they would be pretty limited in what they could do, you know, without a body.
I commend you for mentioning that Akkorokamui is actually an Ainu god, but you failed to mentioned that Basho no Sei is also not Japanese, but Ryukyuan. Ryukyu people are even less represented than Ainu, and that's terrible.
Since you brought it up, will you ever cover what was going on on Hokkaido during the ancient/medieval time of the history of Japan? Like in all of your vids. it seems like the region was just forgotten/ignored. Li

Had to stop the video at 1:24
Wasn’t expecting a joke like that, needed a moment to stop laughing.
0:28 mans literally went URGGH
Linfamy: "Luckily only your legs get crushed so you haven't died"
Me: HOW IS THAT LUCKY?
Yaaaaay!!! I love these yokai videos. These are so much fun n strange
Yay! you talked about the woman with barbed hair. Like in Mortal Kombat. Although she deserves her own video.
.
So, the Kraken, and SlenderMan...
I clicked so quick 🔥
Yessss
You always have all of these cool japanese prints and artworks in your videos! Where do you find them? Or where could I find some of the titles/artists?
the Jubukko is my favourite very special like a mythological triffid
I agree that Iso Onna and the vampire tree are one of the most dangerous yokai, but I think that the Oni and the shinigami are far more dangerous. Seriously, the one is a bloodthirsty killer demon and the other is a grim reaper, but with a katana instead of a scythe and the name means god of death (shinigami). Well of course you can't show all dangerous yokai in just one video, but these are just worth mentioning (especially Shinigami)
I wanted to do a video of dangerous yokai "you've never heard of," so I chose more obscure ones that most people may not know =)
Hari-onna: a messy haired yokai
Onna= lady
Hari sounds like hairy
Hari-onna=hairy lady
I have a huge question, can you really see things other than humans, at Twilight?
A+ use of the word "wanker", 10/10
I know this was ages ago, but in case you are actually typing the Japanese names, like for example Akkorokamui, when it comes to double consonants (the kk in this case), make sure you're typing the word as Akkorokamui so it looks like this アッコロカムイ and not this アツコロカムイ (as in the video) which is instead transliterated as "Atsukorokamui".
To explain (if you can be bothered lol), when there are double consonants in English transliterations, these are represented in Japanese using a small sized tsu. つ → っ for hiragana or ツ → ッ for katakana.
But we don't actually pronounce the tsu as 'tsu' when it's small. The double consonants in English transliterations of Japanese or the small tsus represent a tiny little pause.
To give an example, when we say the word "bookkeeper" we actually say one 'k' with a slight pause before it, rather than distinctly book+keeper. Try it and you'll see what I mean. So in Japanese it's like booッkeeper to represent that sound.
If you forget to make the tsu small then you actually pronounce it as tsu.
Lmao. Japanese folklore and myths with humor. Subscribed.
The first Yokai reminds me of the obscure cult classic famicom game called "ZOMBIE NATION", where you play as a decapitated head shooting down buildings and destroying other areal demonic entities by spitting fireballs at them.
1:26 Its raining heads hallelujah!
(Ngl the tsurube otoshi are hella scary)
In my country people say some banana trees are haunted with Japanese soldier ghosts x)
Random guy: wakes up
Tongue hag: Rerorerorero
Its interesting, ive heard "red sky in the morning, sailors take warning. Red sky at night sailors delight"
Time for My weekendly dosis of yo-kai knowledge!
I loved the latest live action Gantz that had folklore Yokai as baddies.
Can you do a list of realms for Japanese mythological locations? For examples Zeus from Olympus or Thor from Asgard.
I'm wanting to know how those giant heads threw rocks and got back into the trees after the finished devouring a person. It seems that they would be pretty limited in what they could do, you know, without a body.
When they think you haven’t heard of Yokai but you’re a huge inuyasha fan 🤣
Like the new animation. Good job!
I commend you for mentioning that Akkorokamui is actually an Ainu god, but you failed to mentioned that Basho no Sei is also not Japanese, but Ryukyuan. Ryukyu people are even less represented than Ainu, and that's terrible.
The takeaway I got from the Shitanaga Uba was that they have tongues more-excessively barbed than that of lions.
Since you brought it up, will you ever cover what was going on on Hokkaido during the ancient/medieval time of the history of Japan? Like in all of your vids. it seems like the region was just forgotten/ignored. Li
ok, vampire that can be out in daylight is pretty op, but a fox that can say "moshi moshi" with a straight tongue is cheater
See I had a reasons to fear trees as a kid 😅
