So let's talk about Yokai and japanese mythology.
(Btw I'm golden kappa the dude who's addicted to yokai i'm new)
Yokai are apparitions, demons or spirits in japanese mythology, some can be as scary as a women with a long neck (rokuro kubis), some can be as awesome as a nue or okami and some can even be really stupid like squirrels with giant ballsacks (which featured in pompoko along with a whole lot more colourful yokai) and a giant demon that demands you wash it's leg!
Some yokai come to annoy, scare or kill you, and some go about there natural business, however some have their own story to tell like "Yotsuya Kaiden" the story about a women (oiwa) who was murdered by her husband she then later appeared to him as a yokai who hid in lanterns and so did the other people her husband murdered, the kept on appearing to him all night.
Aside from yokai there's alot more going on in japanese mythology such as the nine-tailed-fox from Naruto and shiningami(a type of japanese grim reaper), they appeared in many anime and manga such as Bleach and Soul Eater.
So who here is interested in yokai and japanese myth?
