Talk:Harionago

message: The problem I have with many Wiki editors (and yes, it'll be "Wiki" and not "Wikipedia" until the editors here learn to grow up and use actual references just like how actual research gets done in the adult world, thank you very much) is that if you take away the Pop Cult section of this article all we're left with is four sentences, none of which are cited. 
But I suppose what's the most problematic is that, once again, there is no actual historical sources for this entry, they all have the words: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online on every book (4 as of 2011) on Google Book Search. They are:
:Encyclopedia of Spirits: The Ultimate Guide to the Magic of ... - Page 463 (source: Wikipedia) 
: 
:Japanese Legendary Creatures: Koro-Pok-Guru, Yokai, Baku, Kitsune, ... Source Wikipedia, Books, LLC, Books Group - 2010 - 426 pages  
: 
:Japanese Mythology: Kotoamatsukami, Hannya, Kagu-Tsuchi, Umib?zu, ...(source: Wikipedia) 
:	 
:Asian Legendary Creatures: Chinese Legendary Creatures, Source Wikipedia, Books Group - 2010 - 692 pages 
So do we keep this under the idea that "somewhere, somehow, this is actually a figure of Japanese folklore" and not something made up for a comic book? Or do we delete it, since this is suppose to be an article about folklore and not Popular Culture? Duende-Poetry (talk) 14:36, 6 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Once Again Pop Culture References Reign Supreme

message: Please feel free to re-introduce this into the article if someone can actually cite any of these references:
* In the "Mortal Kombat" video game series, the character Sindel uses her hair to toss her opponent across the arena, she is able to make it grow to extreme length for her "Finishing Move" wrapping them in it and puling away with such speed that the opponent is disentegrated to shreds. She is also portrayed as a 'goulish undead bride' in the series' third installment Mortal Kombat 3.
* "Bayonetta", hero of the self titled video game also uses her hair in special attacks, her hair strands are able to shapeshift into 'hellish' fiends that chomp enemies to bits. Her outfit is actually her hair woven together and it loosens out, leaving her nearly nude and to reveal great hair length when she is ready to perform those hair-based attacks.
* Yunalesca from the video game "Final Fantasy X" can be seen as a Harionago. In her boss battle, she primarily attacks the player's party with her hair. This become increasingly evident as the boss battle against her progresses and she shifts forms.
* Yura of the Hair, a hair-comb tsukumogami encountered in an early chapter of the fictional manga and anime series Inuyasha, uses mobile hair as a weapon much like the Harionago.
* The character AA-Ko from Ueda Hajime's fictional manga "Q-Ko-Chan" uses her hair as a weapon, by extending it like needles.
* Millia Rage from the "Guilty Gear" series of video games controls a type of magic that allows her to use her hair as an extremely versatile weapon.
* "Harionago" is a Commander figure for Han army in the miniatures game "Arcane Legions". Her special ability involves entangling her foes and preventing them from moving.
* Hari-onna is a fictional character from "Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan". She turns her hair into hooks.

thread_title: Pop Cult Section

message: I'm going to remove the "rose-scented" bit as I've got reason to believe it's based on a mis-translation of http://www.sakaiminato.net/site2/page/guide/point/miru/mizuki/youkai/harionago/ or something with similar text. I'm not quite sure of the exact translation of ざんばら髪 yet, but it does not seem to have anything to do with roses. Someone also may have taken かぎ to be the -masu stem of 嗅ぐ (to sniff/smell) instead of 鉤 (hook). 
If someone can come up with a better source than Youkaimura, feel free to put it back. Kotengu 20:21, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Update - I got ざんばら髪 confirmed as meaning "loose hair" - definitely no roses there. Kotengu 22:19, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
