The Harionago is a female yōkai from the Uwajima region of Shikoku with barbed hooks on the end of her hair, and anyone caught onto them is unable to move as they're carried away. She appeared in Jōhen City and mainly targets young men.
A story told of a young man who encountered the Hari-Onago as she smiled at him creepily before attacking him with her hair as he ran home in fear. By morning, he found several needle scratches on his front door. This story teaches that when confronted with the Hari-Onago, hide behind a wooden door for hiding being a shoji screen will leave you vulnerable as she'll break through the screen with her hooks to take you away. 
The Hari-Onago is believed to be an original creation of Shigeru Mizuki with certain characteristics derived from the legend of the Nure-Onago.
