	Yokai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Yōkai are traditionally associated with fire, the direction northeast, and the season of summer, when the spirit world is closest to the world of humans.
		Yokai and obake are often depicted in guises as much humorous as terrifying.

	Yokai Monsters - Spook Warfare
		When Daimon arrives in Japan, he kills a magistrate named Lord Isobe and assumes his form so that he can infiltrate the territory but Isobe’s daughter and one of his loyal samurai are clued in that something is wrong when he begins to exhibit some very abnormal behavior.
		While it’s not at all well acted and the effects by today’s standards are rather primitive, if you’re able to look past that and enjoy it for what it is — an insane, over the top, old school monster romp — then you’re bound to have a good time with it.
		Some of the darker scenes are a little bit muddy and there is a bit of grain and speckling present throughout, but for the most part it’s a clean transfer with nice colors and quite a bit of sharp detail.

		Life in his new hometown is hard: his parents have divorced, his beloved sister lives in Tokyo with their father, his live-in grandfather barely remembers his name, and as if all that weren't bad enough, he's bullied by his classmates, who think he's a crybaby.
		In his struggle to save mankind from harm, he is supported by all sorts of "yokai", spirits which inhabit everything from rivers and rocks to umbrellas and walls.
		As a result, "The Great Yokai War" is slightly darker and more absurd than most children will be used to, but I'm sure many children will love it, as indeed will their parents.

	Demon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In Buddhism the word demon can refer to sentient being in either Hell realm or Asura realm depending on the tradition.
		In Japanese folklore, demons (Yokai), are not necessarily evil or even anthropomorphic, but range from the evil oni (devils) to the erotic meinaishujin (unseen or invisible masters), and to the mischievous kitsune (fox-spirits).
		The word demon is often specifically chosen by the Japanese producers of anime and computer games as a translation of some other Japanese concepts as well.

		IMDb user comments for Yokai Hanta - Hiruko (1990)
		Hiruko the Goblin (aka Yokai Hanta – Hiruko) director Shinya Tsukamoto has said that this is "a film about a head".
		I'm not sure that's quite right, but given the relative inscrutability of the film and Tsukamoto's self-professed love of cryptic ambiguity--substantial enough that he has said to not know what certain scenes or films of his are about--I suppose that "a film about a head" will have to do.
