Every Monster in Japanese Mythology Explained in 14 Minutes

Every monster in Japanese mythology explained, from the kitsune and oni you know from anime to the yokai that are far weirder in the real folklore: a kappa that drowns swimmers but loses in a bow, an umbrella that turns 100 and hops on one leg, and the Yamata no Orochi that took a god, 8 vats of sake, and a trick to defeat. We break down 15 legendary yokai: what each one looks like, where the myth comes from, what makes it dangerous, and where you've met it before, from Studio Ghibli to Naruto to Demon Slayer.
