  1. Which Yokai did you pick? Why? / i picked the nine tailed fox (Tamamo no Mae) i picked her because it is the first yokai i knew of when i was a little kid.
  2. Name some characteristics and provide a background history/summary on your Yokai. / she bacically wanted power. so, she went to kings and drained their life span to she could take control of whatever empire they had. when she got caught, she would run to another contry. and she kept doing it until she got executed. she was also magical and stuff. she could shapeshift, she was immortal, and she has nine tails.
  3. Do you think Japanese Yokai differ from Western monsters and mythical creatures? Explain.  / most of them are animals or humans that turned goofy. in yokai, some are objects. and in yokai, not all of them are out to kill. they are they to just scare people.
  4. Do you believe in Yokai, monsters, ghosts, or mythical creatures? Why or why not? /no. they are just stories to scare kids. some of them are really goofy though.
