==Legend==
Satori is an ape yōkai from the Gifu Prefecture with the power to read minds. They live in the mountains and use their psychic ability to torment humans.
The Satori is said to be modeled after the Jueyuan, known as Kakuen or Yamako in Japan, from Chinese mythology.
Once, a lumberjack was working in the mountains when he found a Satori named Omoi. Omoi proceeded to terrorize the lumberjack by reciting his every thought out loud. Fearing that trying to run away would leave Omoi eating him, as Omoi openly recited, the lumberjack realized there was nothing he could do to get away from Omoi and resumed his work. As Omoi came closer and ready to devour the lumberjack, the lumberjack's axe hit one of the splinters, sending it into Omoi's eyes and blinding him. Terrified that he was unable to predict something, Omoi retreated into the mountains.
