GeGeGe no Kitarō
While the character of Kitarō in "GeGeGe no Kitarō" is a friendly boy who genuinely wants the best outcome for humans and Yōkai alike, his earlier incarnation in "Kitarō of the Graveyard" portrays him as a much more darkly mischievous character. His apparent lack of empathy for humans combined with his general greed and desire for material wealth drives him to act in an unbecoming manner towards the human characters—often deceptively leading them into nightmarish situations or even to hell itself.
