The Kappa's Fart (Ep. 48)

Uncanny Japan - Japanese Folklore, Folktales, Myths and Language - En podcast af Uncanny Productions

A kappa is a small, scrawny, aquatic yokai with a parrot-like beak, a tortoise-style shell on its back, and an indentation on the top of its head full of water. They're found in rivers, lakes, ponds, and even coastal areas. But what do they do? While recently kappa have been rebranded to be very kawaii, that hasn't always been the case. Listen to find out how heinous these slimy critters can be. Visit the Uncanny Japan website to read the show notes and transcript. Uncanny Japan is author Thersa Matsuura.
