Hello there. I run Obakemono.com and hope to help out some with the Japanese Mythology WikiProject.

My To-Do List

Things I plan to rewrite with more/better/any-at-all references:

• Tengu
• Obake
• Yōkai
• Oni
• Japanese dragon
• Kodama
• Bakeneko
• Nekomata
• Hitodama
• Inugami
• Raiju
• The various lists of Toriyama Sekien's works.
• Kappa
• Rokurokubi
• Namahage
• Hitotsume-kozō
• Harionago
• Koro-pok-guru
• Tsukumogami

Blame Me For

Some articles I've created or completely rewritten include:

• Akashita
• Akateko
• Akkorokamui
• Amanojaku
• Amanozako
• Amazake-babaa
• Amemasu
• Ameonna
• Aoandon
• Aosaginohi
• Azukiarai
• Bai Ze
• Bakeneko
• Baku
• Isonade
• Keukegen
• Kuda-gitsune
• Ningyo
• Penghou
• Shikigami
• Tsurube-otoshi
• Ushi-oni
• Yamata-no-Orochi
• Zennyo Ryūō

My other pet activity is the cleaning up of fancruft. So far I have:

• Waged a war on the Naruto-fan fakelore called the "Legend of the Tailed-Beasts", which has been infecting the Japanese mythology articles along with the rest of the internet. This included researching the actual original descriptions of the Isonade and the " Houkou" and completely rewriting their articles.
• Moved Taur to Centaur-like creature, rewrote it to make sure the furry fan-slang stays in its place and rearranged it into classic mythology and culture and modern fan culture rather than by animal-type.
• Changed Kurama into a disambiguation page - a word that refers to two languages, a people, and a sacred mountain should not point directly at a writeup of an anime character.
