	Kappa (mythical creature) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kappa (河童) (sometimes Gataro 川太郎) are mythical creatures, water imps found in Japanese folklore, but have also been said to be a part of cryptozoology, due to apparent sightings.
		Kappa are also said to be afraid of fire, and some villages hold fireworks festivals each year to scare the sprites away.
		The name "kappa" may be derived from the term for "robe" used by the Portuguese monks who arrived in Japan in the 16th century; they called this garment a capa, and the monks' appearance is not unlike that of the similarly named Japanese sprites, from the loose, shell-like cloaks to the tonsured hair.

		Some such as the dragon, the griffin or the unicorn have their origin in traditional myth and have at one time been believed to be real creatures.
		Others were based on real creatures, originating in garbled accounts of travellers' tales; such as the "Vegetable Lamb of Tartary[?]", which supposedly grew tethered to the earth (and was actually the cotton bush).
		Conversely, some creatures once believed to be mythological have been found in recent times, such as the giant squid.
