Hmmmm...
Well, I think YOKAI are things that are "unknown".



@ I'll explain. I am "KAMASAN", a KAMA-ITACHI. Nice to meet you.

Long ago, everyone felt the existence of YOKAI, in the darkness
and silence at sunset.YOKAI widely means abnormal matters
or phenomenons beyond human reach.

Simply, They are spiritual or strange phenomenons that are feared,
and sometimes cause troubles.They are called monsters or ghosts
because many of them can change themselves into various things.
From ancient times to until today, various YOKAI have appeared and
disappeared.		 kamasan

I know some YOKAI - ONI, TENGU, KAPPA, YAMAUBA,
HITOTSUME-KOZOU .I also know TSUKIMONO and YU-REI -
they are a little bit different from YOKAI though.
