Just some information I found in some old tales of Kustuki I'm translating. --Cadmus Kyrala Well, it seems that my entry which was originally based on some legitimate translations of folklore has been fancifully elaborated beyond recognition. I guess it's a wake-up call as to the reliability of wikipedia in general. The original reference that I made was to a phenomenon supposedly attributed to "evil gods" that were reputed to crave human blood. As for the claims that have been put forth here about sickle wielding weasels being sighted, they seem to be more likely the invention of whomever modified the entry. My source was Legends and Folklore of Kutsuki Village. I'd love to see where this melodramatic rendition was inspired. --CK
The pokemon Absol also seems to be clearly based on Kamaitachi, because of it's physical features and Raisor wind being the attack that it is most often depicted using. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.224.23.35 ( talk) 19:13, 4 October 2009 (UTC)
Absol is Cait Sith, Sneazel, and Buizel also have Kamaitachi themed moves in their learnsets. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.166.9.146 ( talk) 13:09, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Was this article made up to make Japanese people seem stupid?
In the anime Samurai Champloo, Mugen fights a character with this technique.
I remember reading a while back that the Kamaitachi is actually based on a natural phenomena which occurs in volcanic mountain regions... Basically, hot gasses build up beneath the surface, and escape through hairline fractures that form. As the super-heated air escapes through the crack at a tremendous speed, and due to its narrow shape and speed, it is capable of cutting flesh. Because the air is so hot, it will also cauterize the wound, preventing it from bleeding. I'm not sure if this is true, perhaps someone could look into it? WtW-Suzaku 19:11, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
In Rurouni Kenshin, the character Raijuta uses a technique called the "izuna", which Kenshin refers to as kamaitachi in volume 6 of the manga. Should we put it in, what do you guys think?
To whoever keeps reinserting tracks called "Kamaitachi". Could you please describe, how this info is important to the article and to a thorough understanding of what the article is about? If not, I maintain that this is useless trivia and should not be added. TomorrowTime 09:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
When I added the Ushio and Tora reference, I did so because the characters I mentioned are probably the most typical example of kamaitachi I personally found in a manga. One makes the person fall, one cuts and one heals, just like in the old legend. And they can turn into weasels - they're not characters "inspired by" or just the name of a technique, but real kamaitachi taken straight (more or less) from old tales. Also, they become pretty recurrent characters from a certain point on. So I'll stay behind guidelines if I'm asked to, but I believe they are a more significant example than others presented here. Not least in order of importance, that manga is the only one quoted here that is almost completely based on the concept of the presence in this world of youkai, many of which are taken straight from Japanese tradition.
Shiftry's based off of a TENGU. Hence the fan-like hands and the geta. A better candidate for a Kamaitachi Pokemon would have to be Buizel, an ottsel-like Pokemon noted to LEARN Razor Wind/Kamaitachi. If someone could alter the article to suit, I'd be most grateful. 72.234.50.130 ( talk) 17:44, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
