What time is it? Post time! Today's blog post will be a list of some of the most common Yokai that appear in anime; along with a very brief description of each. Yokai are still a pretty big part of Japanese culture, so it makes sense that they make appearances in anime. But first, for those of you who don't know, Yokai are Japanese spirits. There are many different Yokai, and I recommend looking into them if you're interested in Japanese culture. Now then, let's get on with it! Enjoy!

1.) Kitsune - The transforming fox spirit; often called the nine-tailed fox.

2.) Tanuki - Raccoon dogs! They can also transform; among other things.

3.) Oni - A type of Japanese demon.

4.) Tengu - A mischievous spirit, but not necessarily bad.

5.) Chōchin-Obake - A living Japanese lantern that is often shown with one big eye and a sticking out tongue.

That's all I have for now! I might do another one of these in the future, since there are a lot of Yokai in anime. But for now, I hope you all enjoyed this blog post!
