妖怪 (Youkai/Yokai/YÅ�kainote All are valid Romanizations of the kanji, depending on the Romanization system used, roughly "bewitching spectres") are a grand collection of various supernatural creatures and phenomena that pop up in Shinto religion, their spelling derived from the Chinese pinyin Yaoguai. They have a lot in common with The Fair Folk—some youkai are good, others are evil, and many have their own alien set of values. Some are mischievous, others avoid humans entirely. Shinto is an animist religion, and youkai are often associated with natural features such as forests and mountains. While sometimes glossed as "demons",note A word which is usually translated into Japanese as akuma a closer Western equivalent is probably the ancient Roman genii, spirits or "monsters" (in the Monster Mash sense).
Supernatural creatures drawn from Western sources often turn out to seem more like youkai in Japanese works. For instance, vampires.note See the section on oni below. In the West you've got Count Orlok — a grotesque, undead monster who burns in sunlight and murders to preserve his hideous unlife. In Japan you've got exceptionally cute Fanservice protagonist Moka Akashiya, who is not undead, harbors no ill-will towards the sun, and drinks tiny amounts of blood that leave her "victim" light-headed at worst, but who has a Superpowered Evil Side who can (and will if you look at her the wrong way) kick your ass thoroughly.
Henge, a subset of youkai, are magical animals with Voluntary Shapeshifting powers and human intelligence. They often assume human form and get into all kinds of mischief. Kinds of henge include Kitsune, Tanuki, and Nekomata.
Obake is another Japanese word that can indicate some type of monster. Derived from the word for "to change", it generally covers the subset of youkai that includes shapeshifting animals (hence the terms bake-gitsune, bake-neko, etc.) as well as Animate Inanimate Objects. Confusingly, however, the word obake can also be used to refer to ghosts, also known as yuurei. See Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl for more information.
Ayakashi is a word which is roughly synonymous with "youkai" in current day usage, though it traditionally refers to spirits that appear over water.
Mononoke is a similar term to ayakashi, in that it is widely used but technically refers to vengeful spirits that can cause disease or other harm through possession.
Many types of youkai were codified during the Edo period in the works of Toriyama Sekien. The genre of manga that deals with Youkai was founded by Shigeru Mizuki (1922—2015), who was obsessed with Youkai ever since he was a child. The Trope Codifier of modern youkai manga is his ever-popular GeGeGe no Kitarō that has received an anime adaption at least once a decade since it was written.
Among all these, the Three Great Youkai of Japan are a group of either three species (oni, kappa and tengu) or three individuals (the oni bandit Shuten-douji, the seductive fox Tamamo-no-Mae and the "ferocious demon king" Ootakemaru) considered to be especially famous.note The latter of whom is sometimes confused with members of a group of Vengeful Ghosts called the Three Great OnryÅ� of Japan
The list presented below is by no means complete. Most youkai are regional creations and then there's also the youkai of the past which have survived to modern times only as a small note or drawing in a scroll. Only a few make it into modern national media and last there.

Divine Gate: The pok-gurus are small elemental beings with one button eye and one wingding eye. There are six of them, as there are six elements, and each pok-guru has a three-step evolution. There's pika-pok-guru (light), hino-pok-guru (fire), koro-pok-guru (void), mizu-pok-guru (water), yami-pok-guru (dark), and kaze-pok-guru (wind). Evolutions go from [koro]-pok-guru to [koro]-pok-gurun to mega [koro]-pok-gurun.

Adventure Time: The fruit witches in "Dad's Dungeon" are a trio of witches that try to get travelers to eat one of their apples. People who do so are turned into giant apples that may retain flesh qualities because there's bones inside. As soon as a giant apple comes to be, the witches go into a frenzy and rip it apart, feeding the chunks to large-mouthed black critters that reside on the back of their heads. Whatever the relation between the witches and the critters, it appears the critters are in command. The witches at one point try to get Jake and Finn to eat an apple, but the duo forcefeeds it to one of the witches. It means nothing for the appetite of the remaining witches that their latest meal is one of their own.

Pact: At one point, Blake encounters a group of Others in the form of Japanese women who can "unspool" their internal organs into a long neck, or detach their heads entirely (though reattaching them is implied to be difficult). He notes that they don't seem very strong, and that the mage commanding them likely uses them as scouts rather than fighters.

Tokyo Afterschool Summoners: Korpokkur is a butterbur leaf-bearing korpokkur and a member of the Rule Makers. He is the World Representative of Kamuy Kotan, a frozen world where adults are killed to serve as food for children. This seems to be a reference to the historical bear worship of the Ainu, which saw bear cubs taken care of better than children, but adult bears killed because that was viewed as sending the god back home. Korpokkur is principally only visible to children, but in Tokyo everyone can see him. He's not happy with that because he has a mindset reminiscent of Peter Pan: children are good (and should not grow up) and adults are horrible. When he's defeated, he curses that "all the water and fish shall dry up now!!!", which is a reference to the legend that the area of Tokachi derives its name from "Tokappuchi", a korpokkur curse aimed at the Ainu that means the same thing. His move list is largely defensive and his offense is ice-based.

The latter kind wear a red bow tie and can be punched for tomato juice and upgrades, although on occasion an enemy will spawn instead. Incidentally, the sequel replaces the jiz�-based manservants with sheep as manservants.

act-age: In Chapter 70, Hanako relays how she grew up in the middle of nowhere in the mountains of Hokkaido. During winter, she was left alone as her farmer parents went away for jobs. To cope with the loneliness, Hanako made an Imaginary Friend called Fukiko ("Butterbur Girl"), a korpokkur who floated on the wind hanging from her butterbut leaf. Continuous disappointments railroaded Hanako into adulthood and she stopped seeing Fukiko, which is a loss that defines her adulthood. Her goal as an artist is to see Fukiko again, but no matter how much she tries, she can never quite recreate Fukiko's image. She burns all of her failed attempts, which is the bulk of her oeuvre.

Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier: Kasa Jiz� is a boss enemy present in both games. The name references the folktale, but the kanji used for "kasa" mean "fire-chain" instead of "hat". Kasa Jiz� is a column-mounted bust with gatling-gun arms and no visual resemblance to a real-life jiz�.
Super Robot Wars OG Saga: Endless Frontier: Kasa Jiz� is an optional boss fight in Kagura Amahara. There's a jiz� to the East which can be left alone, can have its bell rung for small items, or can be shot to engage it in battle for a treasure box. The statue is permanently destroyed if fought.
Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier Exceed: Kasa Jiz� is encountered twice, once as an optional bounty and once as a sub-boss. As Bounty N, it is fought by checking the flower at the Fujisakura Altar and tough to defeat because of a strong defense and healing abilities. It a sub-boss, it is encountered on Floor 32F of Haryuu Tower, where two orochi also dwell.

Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Not the first adaptation of the franchise to use them, but featured much more prominently here, as Yokai have a huge subterranean city beneath New York. Supporting villain Big Mama is a Jurogumo, and main antagonist/mutant-creating-alchemist-warrior Baron Draxum is a humanoid ram identified as a "Yokai". The mutants the franchise (the title characters included) are even eventually revealed to be artificial yokai. The series finale states yokai were created by a mysterious substance called Empyrean, which is implied to have been brought to the Earth by aliens (this continuity's equivalent of Krang).

Darkstalkers: The combatant Bishamon is designed around the amanojaku-faced armor the Buddhist deity Bishamon wears. The combatant Bishamon's armor, Hannya, is alive because it's infused with a Makai beast and even has a separate skeleton. Paired with the sword Kien, Hannya tries to take control of Bishamon, but so far Bishamon is still fighting back. The Palette Swap Oboro Bishamon is Bishamon when he is in full control of Hannya and Kien.

Hellboy:
The story "Heads" has Hellboy accidentally running across a household of Nukekubi. Needless to say, he hits them and pokes fun at them.
The OVA Hellboy Animated: Sword of Storms includes a scene that's an almost word-for-word adaptation of "Heads". In another scene, Hellboy encounters female Rokurokubi.

Dororo: In Episode 20, a spider youkai haunts a jizo, granting it limited facial movement and extra limbs if needed. It preys on humans by insisting that someone babysits it and then driving the caretaker to the end of their energy with demands for lullabies and being carried. When finally its caretaker gets to sleep, they're an easy meal. Hyakkimaru kills it when he saves Dororo from being eaten.

Little King's Story: It's in King Corobo's very name: "Korobo"kkuru. All in the kingdom are implied to be korobokkuru as per the portrayal of the creature in Korobokkuru Monogatari. To drive the point home, there's a scarecrow UMA at the Melon Patch who commands the meloncholies. The scarecrow resembles King Corobo and itself is named "Korobokle" ("Korobokkuri" in Japanese).

The World is Filled with Monsters: Yokai are a kind of trickster spirit with no true form of their own, or at least none that can be seen directly; by themselves, they're simply insubstantial wisps of mist and magic, barely able to perceive or interact with the physical world unless they possess a living pony. If they do, they can use illusions to disguise themselves as any sort of fantastical creature they can imagine. They're not truly malicious beings, as they simply wish for the chance to experience the world like other living things can, but they cause the ponies they possess to become sluggish, dull-minded and barely aware of the world themselves.

Rosario + Vampire: There is a reason the school is called Youkai Academy (though monsters from many other cultures are largely present as well). The name of the school, however, is a Punny Name, since it uses a different set of kanji than the ones that designate the youkai (hence why no red-flags were raised when protagonist Tsukune Aono's parents decided to enroll him there).

Magician's Quest: Mysterious Times: Krampus is the name under which Namahage appears in the localized versions. Armed with a knife and a pail, he is a Seasonal Mystery that appears from January 24th to the 31st. To solve his mystery, the protagonist has to be a good kid, which means they have to follow the rules on the bulletin board, pick weeds, don't play tricks on anyone, shut down the game to go clean the house, etc. It's also important to only talk to Krampus once a day. Failure to live up to being a good kid by being mischievous or lazy causes Krampus to change the protagonist's hair at will. Being good nets the protagonist a gift in addition to getting the mystery solved.

She's a benevolent, meek and loyal girl who loves dog-related items, and in Tears of Eden, the power-amplifying artefact she gets is a dog collar that belonged to a legendary and almighty demon dog. The intro movie of the same game also hints that she has a giant, grey-coated dog true form.

For that matter, everything on the planet Clancer has a haniwa-like face and more than just the Clancers are alive, such as clanballs and flowers. The Clancers are peaceful but extremely naive creatures easily swayed by evil influences. Marina gets to deal with them a lot as quest givers and as enemies. Of note are Calina, a Clancer who has the ability to mimic Marina, and Cat Clancer, who acts as Marina's mount for a time.

She's an idol in the haniwa society and always is accompanied by other haniwa as backup dancers. Her background image depicts multiple brightly colored kofun. Hanico's birthplace is an ancient imperial grave and her birthdate of August 25th (825) is a homonym for "hani[g]o". If she misses or loses, Hanico returns to a simpler haniwa form like her backup dancers, which is something she doesn't like to happen.

Kind of a rarity in Cuphead, as all of the ghosts inhabiting the Phantom Express are subtly based on different types of youkai. The Blind Specter is based on tenome, an eyeless old man with eyeballs on his hands; T-bone is based on gashadokuro, a giant skeleton; the Blaze Brothers appear to be based on wanyuudou, flaming oxcart wheels with screaming faces; and the Head of the Train is based on oboroguruma, oxcarts with faces found on roads late at night. Maybe; what Japanese spooks are doing in a game based on American cartoons is a mystery.

They're the largest of all youkai and go unseen as they're hidden by a costume from which they peer out through the mask's mouth. Namahage are first encountered in the third chapter as enemies due to brainwashing, which is the reason Sol takes the effort not to harm them. In the ninth chapter, all youkai are freed from the brainwashing and from then on Izuna can summon them to his aid. Namahage are Armored Units that cost a lot to summon. They attack with knives and their special skill is "Where the bad kids at?".

Nijigahara Holograph specificially mentions the "kudan", a youkai in the form of a cow with a human face that is short-lived but is often a Portent of Doom before it dies. In the local mythology of the area the story revolves around, if the former inhabitants sent a dead kudan down the river at that spot, twin kudans would be found there not long after. Later, a strange prophecy about a monster living in the tunnels underneath that area ties into this legend, as the people who relate the prophecy tend to become something like human analogues to the kudan.

Shin Megami Tensei I: Amanojaku make their debut in the form of a boss battle. Said boss, true to Urikohime and the Amanojaku, disguises themself as a police officer, probably by killing a human and wearing their skin. With some manipulation, they are allowed in by the protagonist's mother, whereupon they eat her and disguise themself as her to trick the protagonist into letting his guard down. The disguise is of little value because the protagonist and his friends see right through it and the amanojaku doesn't survive the subsequent battle.

Takeo-chan Bukkairoku: The korpokkur are blobular humanoids less than a centimeter in height, which is why even in the youkai-populated Hyakkisou Inn no one knows they're fellow residents. They take whatever items they need as resources for their own community, hence why small things go missing, and they keep insects as mounts. They used to live in the kitchen until a ferocious rat they declared the incarnation of the deity Kim-un-kamuy chased them out. Takeo meets the korpokkur when she's fed a Alice's Adventures in Wonderland-inspired shrinking potion in Chapter 27. In her quest for the antidote, she defeats Kim-un-kamuy and is declared Pirka-kamuy by the grateful korpokkur. They move back to the kitchen, return her stuff to her, and every so often Takeo leaves cookies for them on the floor.

She can also use her power to forcibly transform people into Youkai, such as Lucy, Erza, Wendy, Charle and Happy who are turned, respectively, into a Nure-Onna, Jorogumo, Bakeneko, and Suiko. Youkou's name itself can be a synonym for Kitsune.

Interviews with Monster Girls: Kaoru Higa is a transfer student from Okinawa that joins the cast in Chapter 45. She's a kijimuna and can read people's emotions from the colors in their eyes. Not looking for social isolation, she wears shades to minimize the readings. The first friend Kaoru makes is Kyouko, because the dullahan is delightfully upfront. From Kaoru's talk with Takahashi about the nature of her Demi-ness, it is confirmed that kijimuna have reddish skin and ensure a good fishing trip, but if the whole living in trees thing ever was true it no longer is. It is furthermore found that Kaoru doesn't eat fish eyes and in fact is creeped out by them. Takahashi proposes that the eyes of corpses display colors from a different dimension and that kijimuna can pick up on those. This would merely catch the attention of a normal kijimuna, but a powerful one like Kaoru would experience the glimpse into the other dimension as uncanny. The theory goes even further with the suggestion that kijimuna can overwrite other creatures' thoughts and that is why their catch is always so abundant.

Shikihime Garden: Korobokkuru is a fuchsia-haired hime with animal ears and feet and a large fluffy tail. Her description proclaims the korobokkuru to be a Beast Fairy race. She is a bow-type hime and can be obtained through a summon, from a Pattern Quest, by matching Kurousagi with an Spricot Spirit, or by upgrading Izuna. By putting her through an Eight Gods Awakening, Kei Korobokkuru is unlocked, which is the only version to wear Ainu-inspired clothes. She's available in the variants Tanabata and Chibi.

Final Fantasy XIV: Korpokkur looks like a freshly sprouting seed with limbs and a bird-like face. They show up as enemies, minions, and mounts. As enemies, they belong to the seedkin class and mainly reside in Saint Mocianne's Arboretum. There's the green Korpokkur, the brown Muddy Dorpokkur, and the mud-covered and blooming boss Tokkapchi. A copy of Tokkapchi known as The Mudman is an enemy in II Mheg and the green Korpokkur show up as Polis Korpokkur in Aquapolis. The minion Korpokkur Kid, a green Korpokkur, is obtained at the Saint Mocianne's Arboretum or in Heaven-on-High. The mount is known as Korpokkur Kolossus. It is a giant green Korpokkur that is said to have been small ones but through its adventures it became big. It is bought from the Gold Saucer Attendant and is summoned with the Korpokkur Kolossus Horn. As a 2021 promotion with the chocolate company Lawson, a Chocorpokkur, which is a Korpokkur Kolossus covered in chocolate, is available to anyone who buys 18 pieces of Final Fantasy-licensed candy.

How to Keep a Mummy: In Episode 8, the protagonists decide they need a youkai-sitter for when they are at school. Sora and Tazuki know just the people for that, because they've been helping out at the Outotsu Shrine and befriended the local god and elderly jizo. They keep the statue clean and well-fed with dumplings, thereby having earned the right for them and their friends to call him "Gramps" ("Ji-san"). Because he's a statue, he can move his body, but he can't move from his spot, which becomes inconvenient when Mii-kun goes missing.

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers: Turbanshell is a crustacean humanoid with a turban shell for pants and a turban shell-themed staff. He is created in "Green No More" from an odd shell Kimberley had found earlier at the lake. Turbanshell is very powerful, but impulsive. When it's discovered his only weakness is to be heated on the inside and cooled on the outside, Tommy hides among some melons to get eaten by Turbanshell and shoot him from the inside. Outside, Zack grabs a water hose to take care of the cooling part. This isn't enough to end the creature, but makes it possible for the Thunder Megazord to deal the finishing blow.

Though Ayakashi Triangle uses the term "ayakashi" to refers to purely spiritual beings, many individual specimens are based on traditional youkai. Shirogane actually calls himself a "youkai" when introducing the concept of ayakashi, suggesting it's an equivalent term they rarely use themselves, even if humans do. The Japanese version even abbreviates "ayakashi (�や��)" with the kanji "妖", which is found in word "youkai (妖怪)". Oddly, even spirits that aren't from Japan (like a Snegurochka from Russia) are referred to as "ayakashi".

In Vivere Militare Est, the term "tsukumogami" is used in magitek thanks to the Japanese having been important pioneers in the field, and describes various preternatural control systems for "smart" consumer appliances, automobiles, and computers. It's specifically stated that tsukumogami do not come with age, which is just a myth. One major downside is that they can be possessed, which is responsible for most malfunctions.

Touhou Tenkuushou ~ Hidden Star in Four Seasons: There are two living jiz�. One retains the qualities of a statue while for the other her origin as a statue has no bearing on her present.
Narumi Yatadera is a true jiz�. Her status as a youkai comes from the influence of the Forest of Magic, which is potent enough that is bestows Narumi with power of her own. She has yet to learn to fully control her magic. Because of this, she acts as the Stage 4 Boss despite being a kindhearted individual.
According to Touhou Sangetsusei, Eiki Shiki is a jiz� that received enough faith from worshippers to become divine in her own right. Eiki is based on Enma, who is a counterpart to or an aspect of Jiz�.

Haitai Nanafa: Nina and Rana are kijimuna who live inside the two banyan trees in the Kyan Family's garden. They're locked into the kijimuna's realm by nails that are driven into the trees, but one day those come out and the kijimuna go live at the Kyan Household. Nina and Rana both have human form, being only recognizable as kijimuna to the eye by their red hair and green clothing accents. Their mother, Nana, is a blonde and wears no green at all. Personality-wise, all three can be brought to their knees by presenting them with octopi, the two girls are crazy about fish eyeballs, and at least Rana likes crabs. Nina is an unfortunate combination of delinquent and slacker and maintains a rivalry with both the shisa Ina and eldest Kyan sister Nao. Rana isn't innocent, but mostly gets hurt because she's Nina's sister. Kijimuna are supposed to bring blessings with them, but Nina couldn't be bothered and Rana has no control over her plant boosting so for her touching any greens is to be done with caution.

Yume Nikki has two examples:
The Mouth Monsters are a trio of brown blobs with large mouths and varying hairstyles. Each of them are seen near blood stains, and are the only NPCs in their respective areas.note Two are found in the Mural World, one in the Storage Room. One of them even has poop on their head, so at least that one doesn't smell good.
Uboa is a rare malicious example, as it traps Madotsuki and takes her to an inescapable world. In the manga, it even assaults her and steals her effects.

Gyroids (Haniwa in Japanese) are a type of sapient furniture usually obtained by digging them up on days that follow after rain or snow. Gyroids are organized into 39 families of which members share similar aesthetics but differ in sizes. The name "gyroid" comes from the fact they gyrate to the rhythm of the song playing in the house they're placed in. Gyroids are worth 828 points to the housing association and they sell for 828 bells, "828" being an homonym for "haniwa". In the first game, a gyroid is permanently stationed next to the player's house as the save point and as a representative of the player should a visitor drop by. Animal Crossing: City Folk introduces Lloid, a gyroid who goes through several jobs: auctioneer, foreman, rental store owner, and miner.

Moe! Ninja Girls: In Season 17, the ice-ninja Ricka saves Koropokkur from a wild dog. The tiny girl settles herself in Ricka's breast pocket, but not only out of gratitude. Koropokkur is millennia-old being with a mission to revive her master, the goddess Mistress Swan. Ricka is a dead ringer for the goddess and with some manipulation Koropokkur succeeds in getting her to wear the necklace that houses Mistress Swan's soul. Ricka gets possessed by the goddesss, who is happy to reunite with Koropokkur, but Ricka's friends want her back. It all ends well when Mistress Swan leaves Ricka's body in an act of self-sacrifice. Thereafter, Koropokkur sticks around, partially because of an uneasy friendship with the club and partially to keep looking for ways to revive Mistress Swan.

In Erma, the titular character and her mother are both youkai (although Erma is only half thanks to her human dad), and when they go back to Japan in the Family Reunion arc, it's obvious that the author did their research on youkai, as the youkai marketplace is a massively detailed Cast of Snowflakes with too many species to list, all of them actual mythological youkai.

InCryptid uses "yokai" as a classification for any cryptid from Japan (and some that are also found in China). So far we've seen a tanuki, a FÅ«ri (who is a major character), and a Jorogumo. Yuki Onna and Kawauso have been mentioned but not seen.

EVE Online has a couple of spaceships named after Youkai. Among those are the Kitsune, a small, but very potent ECM-based ship and the Tengu, a fast, medium-sized, powerful (and incredibly sturdy) ship capable of doing Level 5 Missions with no support, while all other ships require a fleet for those. It's also the general favorite among Mission-Runners, due to its high amount of Firepower.

Pathfinder, which tends to include a lot of creatures from real-life mythologies, does one better than its rival D&D by featuring many of the same youkai (including Ogre Magi under their proper name of oni), but also including many, many others (both on this page and not), including a number of obscure ones like the sagari, the hyakume, the jinmenju, the bisha ga tsuku, the harionago, the akaname, the kuda-gitsune (referred to simply as the pipefox), and the bakekujira.

Ushio and Tora is all about fighting youkai until facing the strongest of them all, a god-like kitsune (born in India of all places). It also shows some hierarchy by explaining that the Youkai of Japan are divided between two leaders, one ruling over the east and the other over the west of the country. The american scientific research team known as H.M.M.R. refers to them as "Metamorphose", a term not used in Real Life but based on the fact that Bakemono can literally mean "Something that can transform".

Shuriken Sentai Ninninger: Similar to Kakuranger, the enemies are modernized versions of youkai; this time done by bringing inanimate objects to life. For instance, a chainsaw is turned into a kamaitachi and a snowcone maker into a yuki-onna. They also bring in three classic Halloween monsters (Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula and the Wolf Man) and classify them as "Western youkai".

Urikohime and the Amanojaku: Urikohime's parents leave her alone at home and warn her not to open the door for anyone in their absence. Their warning is no match for the amanojaku's treachery and once inside they force Urikohime out of her clothes. Depending on the version, they might also kill her, don her skin and clothes, and hide the body by eating it. If not, then they tie her up outside in a persimmon tree and make do with the clothes as disguise. The amanojaku convinces Urikohime's parents at first that they're their beloved child, but a bird or Urikohime herself warns them of the deceit. The amanojaku is slain and their spilled blood is why the roots of the millet are red.

Doraemon: The Sleeping Sea Kingdom: The Unnaana are aliens that closely resemble the standard description of kijimuna as applied to the model outline of the eponymous character of Jungle Kurobe. The Unnaana came to Earth long ago and lived on a star-shaped island amidst the Ryukyu Islands from where they traveled all across the globe to help the infant human civilizations. When the Ice Age ended 12.000 years ago, the island was flooded and the Unnaana hurried back home. Jikim was accidentally left behind. One rocket remained for him in the domed capital city, but it required both an Unnaana and a human to launch. The Unnaana are only visible to kind-hearted humans, so Jikim had to wait. Keeping him company for that time was Oji-san, a holographic caretaker of the city who resembles a hairy elderly human. He commands at least one likely mechanical octopus for security. In present day, Jikim meets and befriends Nobita and tricks him into coming aboard the rocket with him so he can go home. Racked with guilt, Jikim destroys the rocket right before its launch. He reasons that he'll just stay with Oji-san, but the fact is that the barriers of the city are crumbling. Oji-san asks Doraemon for help and of course the robot has a space capsule to get Jikim home. A distressed Jikim promises Oji-san he'll return for him as he, Doraemon, and the children are transported to the surface.

Super Mario Bros.: A staple ability of the series is for the Mario Bros to turn into the likeness of jiz�. In this form, they're ignored by enemies and impervious to various forms of harm, while their stone bodies can inflict greater stomp damage. The Mario Bros usually can't move as statues, but they can take the form midair for the aforementioned stomp damage. The ability to turn into a statue was introduced as a function of the Tanooki Suit, but since then the Statue Leaf and capture by a Bonneter have also granted the transformation.

Magical Circle Guru-Guru: When Barckweener got bored writing the Guru Guru Tome, he enchanted it with incarnation gas that would bring about a haniwa to give instructions to who would inherit the tome. Kukuri opens the tome in Chapter 27 (Epsode 24 of the 1994 anime and 6 of the 2017 anime), thereby summoning the richly dressed haniwa. It gives the instructions and dissolves back into gas once its task is finished.

The hololive Alternative manga Holoearth Chronicles Side:E ~Yamato Phantasia~ has youkai as effectively a sort of anti-kami turned by Stigma as opposed to Aura, although some kami are also types of youkai as they are known in mythology. Also, despite Stigma being... well, Stigma, not all youkai are evil or even slightly malicious.

TwinBee 3: Poko Poko Daima�: Crystal Jiz� is in charge of guarding the Air Island floating fortress and therefore is the first stage's boss. He is a giant jiz� made from crystal with the usual dress, robe, and staff accessories, but on top of those he also wears sunglasses, a biker jacket, and carries a chain. His means of attack is to stomp around to make crystal stalactites fall down on the protagonist. If shot often enough, Crystal Jiz� splits into two smaller Crystal Jiz� and if those are shot often enough, they'll split up into four smaller Crystal Jiz�, making for a maximum of eight. Crystal Jiz� is defeated when all smaller selves are.

Flint the Time Detective: There are two haniwa-based time shifters due to one being replaced by the other when the franchise went through a final revision.
Haniwani is introduced in Chapter 1 of the manga. It is a crocodile-based haniwa without legs and with mizura-styled head ornaments. It has has very strong jaws capable of crushing through rock. The name "Haniwani" is a portmanteau of "haniwa" and "wani", which means "crocodile".
Jitterbug (Hani-Hani in Japanese) is a simplistic human-shaped haniwa with mizura-styled head ornaments. He has the power to force others to dance in a metronome-like fashion and, being pottery, he both easily breaks and is reassembled. Before being retrieved, he hangs around in 2nd Century Japan when Queen Himiko has only just begun her reign and isn't a strong leader yet. In the manga, she reassembles and befriends Jitterbug, but one piece of the time shifter ends up in Petra's hands. This piece gets stamped and returned to Jitterbug, which brings him under Petra's control. As Jitterbug-Con (Hani-Waru in Japanese), he is capable of consuming clay to turn into missiles, which is too much for the Time Police to handle. Himiko's pleas to Jitterbug to remember her do work and the time shifter returns to normal. In the anime, Jitterbug barely interacts with Himiko and instead bonds with Flint.

The Morose Mononokean: In Chapters 4-7 (Episode 3), the protagonists work on the case of Mitsuchigura's missing mask. Mitsuchigura is a hollow-eyed jiz� wearing a red bandana, blue robe, and beaded necklace. Because he is a statue, he has no facial expressions of his own and uses three masks corresponding to laughter, sadness, and anger to convey his emotional state. However, he's lost the laughter one when Abeno sent him to the underworld a month prior, so now he's back to retrieve it. Ashiya discovers the mask to be stuck to the face of Tatsuma Fujiwara, who has been struck with uncontrollable laughter ever since he found it, and removes it by showing Tatsuma his daughter's crying face. Mitsuchigura is very grateful to be complete again and returns to the underworld.

In Samurai Rabbit: The Usagi Chronicles, all the youkai have been trapped for a thousand years in the chi crystal, until Yuichi accidentally releases them. While he initially offers his services as a youkai hunter, he quickly realises the youkai aren't the threat he believed, and declares he will no longer fight them. His sensei is a Tengu, he befriends many tsukumogami including a Karakasa, and while it takes longer for Gashadokuro to come round to the idea that Yuichi isn't an implacable enemy, they eventually become allies as well.

Outside of combat, she looks like a regular human girl and interacts freely with the shamans. When engaged in combat, she dons her mask and grows into her costume into a bird-like take on the usual namahage look. In this form, she insists on being called Namahage instead of Namaha, which Gakko sometimes forgets. Namahage is armed with a knife and a pail and when she fuses with Gakko the pail becomes an arm-gun. The duo also has the inherent ability to nullify demonic energy.

Unbeknownst to anyone, she gets this power from her necklace, which contains a piece of the planet Levy. The necklace also can temporarily disable Haniwa Canth, which gives the Biomen a chance to escape after the robotic warrior gives them a beatdown. The next encounter proceeds in favor of the Biomen and even when Haniwa Canth opens its face to reveal a laser cannon it can't prevent its own destruction.

Pokémon has a lot of creatures based on youkai. It can even be said that all Pokémon take on the same roles that youkai supposedly play in the real world, as both take on the roles of animals and nature spirits while also being combination of malicious and scary yet friendly and endearing when befriended.
Exeggutor bears a resemblance to the ninmenju, a tree that grows human faces instead of fruit.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker: The Koroks, degenerate descendants of the elflike Kokiri from Ocarina of Time, are dimunitive wooden creatures predominantly modelled on the popular image of kodama (tree spirits), but their name is also evocative of korpokkur. The resemblance is increased when they extend the leaves that they use to fly, and by their appearance in Breath of the Wild as mischievous spirits who hide across the overworld and are Invisible to Normals.

Fate/Grand Order: Ushi-Gozen is referenced in regards to Minamoto-no-Raikou, as there are legends of the youkai being the younger brother of Minamoto-no-Yorimitsu. The twist being that Raikou is Ushi-Gozen, who exists as a split personality for her that favours her demonic heritage.

In Hetalia: Axis Powers, Japan talks about the legend of youkai but states that they do not exist. However, England does meet and talks to a kappa and an onion-head youkai, though Japan is skeptical. This is meant to mirror their countries views on myths, modern Japan sees myths as esoteric nonsense, quirky at best, while modern England still sees some value in myths and traditions.
This is expanded upon in the anime, the Youkai explain to England that they all will eventually have to leave Japan's home as less and less people believe in them, so they have no reason to stay. England is shown to be quite upset about it, but there's nothing he can do to help them.

Idol series Tsukipro has a youkai AU, in which each idol is a different sort of youkai. The AU has not appeared in any of the anime series yet, but in 2018, two of the stage plays featured it — "Natsu-Yume-Matsuri", performed at the Tsukipro Bunkasai event in July 2018, starred Rui, Kai, Ichiru, and Issei, in their youkai forms. SQS Episode 2, to be performed in November 2018, features Tsubasa and Eichi falling into a river and ending up in the realm of youkai, and encountering the youkai forms of the other SQ members. It is said that the youkai forms live around Tsukino Shrine, which is something of a portal between their realm and the real world. The shrine has no set location, and can possibly be found anywhere.

Filia's parasite is named Samson and there is an alternative timeline version in which he is the dominant identity and essentially wears Filia's body as a funny hat. Fukua's situation appears different in that the two identities function as one and are both Fukua.

Princess: The Hopeful: "Amanojaku" is the name carried by Dreamlanders who hijack human bodies for their own use. They're considered the lowest of Dreamland's citizens and before their workings were discovered they were thought to be parasitic entities. Their modus operandi is to enter a human's dream and if in the dream they manage to catch their target's self image, they throw it into the Dreamlands while they take control of the body. This leaves the human stuck as an inhabitant of the Dreamlands while the amanojaku has to painstakingly learn to live as a normal human.

Ultra Series: Youkai or Kaiju based on them have appeared as a Monster of the Week here and there. Many are based on examples above, but others are wholly original.
Ultraman: Woo from the original series is a yeti-like youkai manifests from the spirit of a deceased parent who seeks to continue to protect their child.
Ultraman 80 featured a few youkai, like Jihibikiran (a sumo boy who wrestles everyone he meets) and Idantenran (a marathon runner who transforms into a giant monster when enraged).
Ultraman Tiga: One episode features a youkai named Obikoboushi (Obiko for short), a mischievous demon-like creature who thrives in darkness and disguises himself as a noodle vendor in order to scare people with his magically animated shadow.
Ultraman Cosmos: Two episodes deal with a Bigfoot-like youkai named Yamawarawanote the name is shared with an actual youkai but they are hairy one-eyed mountain dwarfs instead who likes to befriend children lost in the forest. In the latter episode, we also meet Yamawarawa's archenemy, the demon-like Mahagenom.

Daimajin: Daimajin is a kaiju-sized haniwa warrior infused with a violent spirit by Shino, the warrior who defeated it. While holding the spirit, the statue bleeds if injured and it has a green hidden face that reveals itself when Daimajin is roused from its slumber. In times of chaos, such as that of the Sengoku Period, Daimajin comes to life one way or another to punish all evildoers. Because the threshold for "evildoer" is low, his appearance is not solely a blessing and only someone willing to give their life can stop the haniwa warrior. This usually ends with the spirit leaving the statue, which returns it to its rocky state.

Super Sentai tends to use youkai as enemies in especially Japanese-themed series (meaning featuring ninja or samurai):
Ninja Sentai Kakuranger: The enemies are ALL Youkai, nearly all of which have adapted in some way to the modern world. There's a nurikabe covered in graffiti, a sand woman dressed like a hooker, a chariot youkai who's now a taxicab, and a hungry ghost dressed like a fast-food jockey. Sometimes the behavior is very different from the traditional youkai they're based on, but that's usually excused with "long ago, they were like [insert mythological behavior here] but the modern ones are [insert a Monster of the Week-ish behavior here] instead!"
Samurai Sentai Shinkenger: The enemies are called ayakashi and are based on youkai (and In-Universe, the basis for youkai), but following ayakashi's traditional meaning of "shipwreck ghost", most if not all of them have some kind of sea-creature theme along with their mythic one.
Shuriken Sentai Ninninger: Similar to Kakuranger, the enemies are modernized versions of youkai; this time done by bringing inanimate objects to life. For instance, a chainsaw is turned into a kamaitachi and a snowcone maker into a yuki-onna. They also bring in three classic Halloween monsters (Frankenstein's Monster, Dracula and the Wolf Man) and classify them as "Western youkai".

Animal Crossing: Haniwa have enjoyed a solid presence in the series from its inception.
Gyroids (Haniwa in Japanese) are a type of sapient furniture usually obtained by digging them up on days that follow after rain or snow. Gyroids are organized into 39 families of which members share similar aesthetics but differ in sizes. The name "gyroid" comes from the fact they gyrate to the rhythm of the song playing in the house they're placed in. Gyroids are worth 828 points to the housing association and they sell for 828 bells, "828" being an homonym for "haniwa". In the first game, a gyroid is permanently stationed next to the player's house as the save point and as a representative of the player should a visitor drop by. Animal Crossing: City Folk introduces Lloid, a gyroid who goes through several jobs: auctioneer, foreman, rental store owner, and miner.
If in the first game the player visits another town and shuts off the system, they'll have a haniwa face the first time they start up their game file thereafter. This serves as a reminder to always save at the gyroid stationed at your house.
Coco is one villagers that are living objects. She is a haniwa rabbit. Her Japanese name, Yayoi, references the people and period that produced haniwa statues. Coco's house is always earthy and sombre, reflecting a haniwa's funerary purpose. For most of the series, she has K.K. Dirge playing in her home.
A game series villagers sometimes talk about if Gyroid Joe, presumably related to Super Gyroid Brothers. By the sound of it, a gyroid is the protagonist.

Stitch!: Kijimunaa is the sanshin-playing protector spirit of Izayoi Island and lives in the largest banyan tree in the center of Chitama Forest. He has a sister, Kijimagii, who lives on another island, and it's suggested that there was once a thriving kijimunaa community on Izayoi, but today there's only Kijimunaa. Kijimunaa are short and rotund creatures with brown skin and enough red-to-pink hair to hide in. Elderly kijimunaa have greyed hair, but no less volume. The hair hides the eyes, which is not immediately obvious because kijimunaa have prominent upturned nostrils that look like eyes. These nostrils can emit powerful gusts of wind and are an important symbol of the kijimunaa as shown by the kijimunaa sanctuary located in the Twin Caverns, which are giant nostrils hewn out of stone. In fact, the caverns are part of a giant stone kijimunaa with plant hair which origins aren't expanded on. Kijimunaa are very plant-oriented, as they have the ability to fuse into trees and heal plants with their tears. Kijimunaa himself becomes a friend of Yuna and Stitch when they help him get his tree back from a fire-breathing youkai named Tachichu.

Mononoke: The series plays with the meaning of the term. While seeking passage on a ferry, the medicine seller meets a literal human monk, whose guilt over his village's human sacrifice to the ocean has corrupted him into a mononoke. At one point the monk casts a giant shadow with visible eyes, but this is the closest the series comes to showing a traditional umibozu.

Inazuma Eleven GO Galaxy: In Episode 21, Shinsuke and Tetsukado become trapped in a holographic match in the Black Room. The arena is underground and their opponents are a team of animate haniwa. Because the match was set up for Shinsuke to work on his capacity for defense, the only means to end the program is for him and Tetsukado to prevent a goal by the Haniwa Team. It takes a little, but eventually Shinsuke succeeds, ending the program and the haniwa.

Karin-dou 4koma: The vast majority of the cast are either magicians or some kind of youkai, generally either tsukumogami (coin, camera...) or animal (fox, bird/dog, snake, toad, crow...). Somehow, there's a Henshin Hero youkai. In one strip, a few characters discuss the possibility of virtual idols becoming youkai; one dismissing them as too fleeting to take hold and a moment later suggests that God is the original such idol.

Miss Hokusai, despite being a relatively realistic slice-of-life anime movie about Hokusai's daughter, has several youkai: A famous courtesan is a rokurokubi — her "spirit" stretches instead of her physical neck and while only a few people can see it everyone sees it pressing against the courtesan's mosquito netting. Ghost lights appear in front of a "haunted" painting of Hell and a giant ox demon threatens to show up at the house where the painting is. The painting is "haunted" because "Miss Hokusai" forgot to show the ghosts in Hell being redeemed by Buddha (which was kind of the whole point of the painting's commission in the first place, oops). Hokusai adds the Buddha and the haunting stops.

Trials of Mana: The heroes visit Koropokkur Woods, located within Rabite Forest, to speak to the brilliant strategist Domperi for advice on how to retake the kingdom. The koropokkur are modeled after the ones from Korobokkuru Monogatari and don't trust humans, which means the party first has to get the Midge Mallet to turn themselves small and then pretend to be koropokkur. They do such a poor job at it that Domperi immediately sees through the ruse and messes with them before helping them.

LifeSigns: Surgical Unit: The people of Waginoma Island view the Kijimuna Elves as protector gods, although few actually believe they exist. Shizuku remembers seeing one as a child and Kaori regularly communicates with them. The Village Chief lost his wife and son 40 years ago in accident foretold by the kijimuna in a dream that he didn't heed. Ever since, he's wary of any bad omens. When three major misfortunes occur in quick succession, the Village Chief views these events as messages from the Kijimuna Elves to postpone the Greenery Day Festival. Kaori insists the kijimuna would never harm humans and along with Tendo uncovers logical explanations to get the Village Chief to put the celebrations back on schedule. During the festival, Kaori is telepathically warned by the kijimuna that Sora and Hikaru suffered a fall. She and Tendo find them and realize that Sora needs immediate intervention for a punctured lung. They have the tools, but no light. Right then, a Kijimuna Elf, a little rabbit-like creature with prehensile ears, jumps out of the bushes and generates a light ball. It leaves the moment Sora is stabilized, which is before anyone else arrives.

They were sold to and adopted by the Ringmistress when they were still babies and have been with the circus ever since. Nikki looks like a normal person until she turns around. From her back grows another woman with a monstrous face with a huge mouth. Her twin Jinki is the very opposite, being monstrous on the front and having a normal woman growing from her back. The parasites don't seem to have awareness.

This sazaeoni is connected to two shells, which like horns are located on its head. It takes up residence in a sunken warship and raises it to the surface. To make matters worse, the corpses and souls of people who died in a shipwreck are drawn to it and protect it. It takes a lot of pure rage for Kensuke to manage to land a killing hit and retrieve the sesshouseki.

Gaist Crusher: Jungle Kijimuna is a gaist that looks like it's composed of wood and leaves. It has the ability to stimulate plant growth wherever it pleases, which not only sabotages whatever the jungle overgrows but also gives Jungle Kijimuna a huge terrain advantage. Jungle Kijimuna is native to Okinawa, but Cypher summons it to Tekkou City in Episode 5. It subdues the city and easily evades Kuruma through the numerous branches. Rekka combines his fire power and the local river to create steam and catch Jungle Kijimuna off-guard, after which Kuruma's Extreme Form finishes off the gaist.

Samurai Sentai Shinkenger: The enemies are called ayakashi and are based on youkai (and In-Universe, the basis for youkai), but following ayakashi's traditional meaning of "shipwreck ghost", most if not all of them have some kind of sea-creature theme along with their mythic one.

The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap: The Minish are largely based on the korobokkuru from Korobokkuru Monogatari, with their Japanese name Pikkoru being a portmanteau of "pygmy" and "korobokkuru". Other sources include the small people from The Elves and the Cobbler and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The Minish are mouse people who leave gifts for humans to find and who can only be seen by children and animals. The Forest Minish are associated with clovers the same way korpokkur are associated with butterbur leafs. The Hurdy-Gurdy Man may be a Minish living in the human world, although by what means he got and stays human-sized is unknown. Both Link's hat Elzo and Big Bad Vaati are Minish too.

Summer Days with Coo: Kappa and kijimuna are related youkai. Once Coo becomes big news all over Japan, a kijimuna in Yanbaru on Okinawa invites him to stay with him for a while far away from human society. The kijimuna's face resembles that of a shisa and his mannerisms have a slight stutter as if he's partly inanimate. His hair is brown and his skin red and he has the ability to take human form. He and Coo get acquainted in the peaceful surroundings of Yanbura and the kijimuna promises Coo he'll teach him how to turn into a human too once he's properly rested.

Kakuriyo: Bed and Breakfast for Spirits: Ōdanna is a jaki, which is a type of youkai known to dwell in temples and with has such a bad reputation that no other youkai want to associate with them. As such, Ōdanna keeps his identity a secret. Ōgond�ji found him as a child on the spot where Tenjin-ya would later be built and took him under her guidance, which made him the upstanding man he is today. In Volume 4, he even fights and kills a jaki that attacks Aoi at the Dragon Palace, ignoring the villainous jaki's recognition and subsequent argument that as kin they should be on the same side.

C.M.B.: In Chapter 87, Shougo Oonaka is afraid to morally stray because there's a kijimuna by his side that will strangle and devour him if he ever does so. Unlike the red-haired forest children commonly imagined, his kijimuna is a large cephalothorax with vast brown hair covering him down to his knees that lives in a hut in the forest. With Obon around the corner, Shougo visits his grandmother in Okinawa. As he explores the places of his youth, it is discovered that his kijimuna is a figment of his imagination pieced together from memories, such as learning that banyan trees are also called strangler figs and, most importantly, spending time with a kind, large, and bearded man who lived with the regret of a past moral error. When that man suddenly died, Shougo began seeing the kijimuna. Shougo realizes there never was a threat of being devoured and that instead the kijimuna, be it the form of his own moral compass or a true guardian spirit, only wants him to make better choices than the kind man once did.

Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons: The korobokkuru, which in English get the name "harvest sprites" and "nature sprites", are a staple of the series ever since the second game. They're modeled after the korobokkuru from Korobokkuru Monogatari, and as such are small fairies who serve the Harvest Goddess and the Harvest King and who help out the player if they take the effort to befriend them. For the most part, the sprites are reimagined and new characters feature in each game, but there is chromatically arranged trio by the names of Nic, Nak, & Flak that is present in multiple games.

Ninja Sentai Kakuranger: The enemies are ALL Youkai, nearly all of which have adapted in some way to the modern world. There's a nurikabe covered in graffiti, a sand woman dressed like a hooker, a chariot youkai who's now a taxicab, and a hungry ghost dressed like a fast-food jockey. Sometimes the behavior is very different from the traditional youkai they're based on, but that's usually excused with "long ago, they were like [insert mythological behavior here] but the modern ones are [insert a Monster of the Week-ish behavior here] instead!"

INVADERS of the ROKUJYOUMA!?: Kiriha, a member of the People of the Earth, is accompanied by a pair of Hot-Blooded talking haniwa named Karama and Korama, created by implanting artificial souls into clay bodies. Barrier Warriors with the powers of Flight, Invisibility, fire and lightning, they initially stay glued to Kiriha or function as her personal scouts, but as she settles into her role as The Strategist of the team she more frequently lends them out to other characters. Later in the series they can also act as R2-D2-esque control units for the Space Fighter Oohime. Outsiders studying spiritual technology note that the religious symbolism of haniwas might make them better vessels for a soul, or that conversely "normal" haniwas might have developed in imitation of the People of the Earth's creations.

Harukanaru Toki no Naka de has these creatures among its mook-type villains (somewhat confusingly, they fall under the collective term onryou, "vengeful spirits", which normally refers to ghosts). In the manga/anime adaptations, some of these get more prominent roles, like the last Nue and the Tengu of the Northern Mountains, but otherwise the youkai-like monsters in general are of little importance to the plot.

Seija is a creature of contradiction and wants to remake society into its opposite. Her ability as a boss in Touhou Kishinjou ~ Double Dealing Character is Turn Over Anything, through which she can flip the screen. After her defeat, her story continues in Danmaku Amanojaku ~ Impossible Spell Card, where she is the protagonist. She no longer has any switching around powers and her journey ends with her losing all of her allies, which she's fine with because that's just how it is for an amanojake.

In "Substitute Jizo", an oddly agonized-looking jiz� appears to a girl on her route home. Taking a leap, she wishes for her crush to break up with his girlfriend, which comes true the next day. The girl goes to thank the jiz�, but in a twist on the usual substitution, to repay her wish she is made to take the jiz�'s place as statue until she fulfills the wish of the next person.
In "Curse", a boy accidentally bumps into and beheads a jiz�. Rumors of a curse, overheard gossip, and his own paranoia drive him mad until he trips and falls down the stairs leading to the jiz�'s location. He dies from a broken neck or cracked skull as the jiz�'s decapitated head looks on in satisfaction.

Dororo (2019): In episode 19, an amanojaku is freed from the war god temple statue that served as his prison. He is about half the size of a human, has red skin, and has a tall head from which several stumps protrude. He makes the entire village act and speak opposite of what they intend, which almost gets Hyakkimaru to abandon his quest and kill Dororo when the amanojaku gets a hold of him too. Munetsuna timely sneaks up on the youkai and knocks him out. Afterwards, he's sealed back on the statue's base.

The manga and anime Nagasarete Airantou takes place on the titular island of Airantou which is inhabited by a large number of youkai. Much of the comedy centers around the protagonist Ikuto's (who is from modern Japan and stranded on the island) refusal to believe in youkai and magic and how much he will bend over backwards with increasingly ludicrous "scientific" explanations to try and handwave away what he just witnessed. (such as seeing a ghost and dismissing it as a polar bear (on a tropical island) and then thinking it's just a kind of trick when it literally vanished into thin air.)

The "Yosenju" archetype, which seems to be mostly (if not entirely) made up of Kamaitachi.
Spirit Monsters are a type of card that return to your hand at the end of the turn, the majority of which are based on famous gods and monsters from Japanese Mythology.
The Synchro-climb based archetype, "Mayakashi", includes an Oboroguruma, Tsuchigumo, nine-tailed fox, Yaksha, Tengu, and Gashadokuro.

Malifaux: Asami Tanaka used to manage a temple with her father, which came to an end when the temple was attacked. Her father perished and Asami was left dying. At this moment, she was contacted by Amanjaku with a deal for her to live. She accepted and was turned into a futakuchi-onna. In this form, her hair is a weapon with which to attack enemies and toss them into her monster mouth. The bodies aren't consumed, but turned into and spat out as oni that serve her and Amanjaku. It's also not hunger that drives her, but a desire for motherhood that was otherwise taken away by the injuries she sustained during the temple attack. This is why she can barely cope when any of her oni are killed and she doesn't enjoy her role as a Master of the Ten Thunders. Asami knows Amanjaku is untrustworthy, but so far hasn't made a move against him because he keeps making promises of further healing.

He gains power from human fear, though, and with five specimen running around it's easy to get the emotional energy to become a giant monster quite capable of killing them. The protagonists attempt a ritual to seal Amanojaku inside the old camphor tree behind the school, but because it's been chopped down the ritual instead traps the youkai inside Kaya. With no immediate solution from either party, Amanojaku stays with the children as a familiar and comes to care for them. During the final battle against Ohma, he manages to free himself from the feline body and chooses to fight his fellow youkai to buy the children time to gather the spiritual energy needed to seal Ohma. It's implied that due to the ritual Amanojaku gets sealed in another camphor tree, but he's okay with that.

In YuYu Hakusho, one demon that showed himself to Yusuke after the Hell Tournament Arc, with news on his demon ancestor was an example of a Rokurokubi with surprisingly human looks for a demon. It was nighttime as well.

Cotton: Jiz� are recurring enemies in the series. They're usually encountered while standing or floating peacefully. If shot, their bodies are destroyed and the heads float around holding a Power-Up. To claim the items, the heads need to be destroyed first.

Gosei Sentai Dairanger: Haniwa Ventriloquist is one of Gara's soldiers. He appears as a man with a moon-face and a haniwa-shaped ventriloquist puppet, but the truth is that it is the "puppet" who is the puppeteer of the moon-faced "man". Any time the large body gets destroyed, Haniwa Ventriloquist can reassemble it. In Episode 16, he is tasked with turning children into statues in order to find those who could join the Gorma Tribe. Haniwa Ventriloquist's short stature is useful in this regard, because it allows him to pretend to be another child. It takes the Dairangers a bit to figure out the large body is a mere puppet, but eventually they get it right and electrocute him through his own puppeteer wires.

Touhou Kikeijuu ~ Wily Beast and Weakest Creature: Keiki Haniyasushin, who is based on the ancient clay-kneading god Haniyasu, is the creator of the Haniwa Army Corps. It is the purpose of the corps to protect the home of the human spirits from invasion by the animal spirits. Because of the superiority of the haniwa, who need neither rest nor nourishment and can't be harmed by incorporeal entities, their task is too easily fulfilled, causing them to invade the home of the animal spirits. Most of the haniwa are of the dancing type, but Haniwa Lance Corporal Mayumi Joutouguu is a human-looking haniwa based on the haniwa warrior. She commands the corps and can summon archers, fencers, cavalry, or the whole lot at once to her aid. Her personal strength is in her loyalty to Keiki Haniyasushin: the more loyal she is, the stronger she is. Mayumi acts as the Stage 5 boss and Stage 6 midboss.

In Kamen Rider Decade, it's said that, when a Rider — we mean, Oni — in the World of Hibiki chases power obsessively enough to lose his ideals of justice, he becomes an out-of-control Gyuuki. Like what happens to Hibiki himself.

The Hoohooligans from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and the Hooskis from Mario & Luigi: Dream Team are inhabitants of the Beanbean Kingdom with hollow-looking faces and curled arms that make them resemble Haniwa statues. Despite their rigid postures and association with stony mountain areas, though, they're not statues but humanoid beans.

Saint Seiya: Jaki is a very oni-looking giant of a man who on orders of the Pope attacks Eagle Marin. When he fails to squash her by throwing a boulder, they grapple. Just as Jaki is about crush her to death, Eagle Marin causes the both of them to tumble off a cliff. She shows up later, while Jaki seems to have died from the fall.

Plastic Nee-san: In Chapter 85, a shrine holding two jiz� is temporarily moved from the street to school grounds because of roadworks. These two are Ai-Jiz� for relationship requests and Kin-Jiz� for monetary appeals. Nee-san is displeased by how dirty they are and cleans them up. That night, the statues crash through her window to reward her kindness with a wish. Nee-san asks who's stronger of the two because she wants that one to grant her wish. Ai-Jiz� tries to diffuse the situation until Kin-Jiz� insists that money beats love at which point it's an all-night brawl. Nee-san never gets her wish and the next morning Kin-Jiz� lies knock-out in the corner of the shrine where Ai-Jiz� remains in pristine condition.
