Descriptions

* **Osomatsu** - Osomatsu who was possessed by the youkai – Shuten-Douji. He acts as the head of the oni, with many under his control. His name is based on his preference for sake.
* **Karamatsu** - Karamatsu who was possessed by the youkai – Aoandon. It is said that if you finish telling the 100th story during One-Hundred Ghost Stories, a phenomenon will occur, leading to the appearance of an oni-shaped youkai from time to time. It has become an unspoken rule that participants of One-Hundred Ghost Stories must finish at the 99th story.
* **Choromatsu** - Choromatsu who was possessed by the youkai – Daitengu. Compared to the other tengu, he has a longer nose and the ability to use an immense divine power. It has been said that a Karasu Tengu is a type of oni as well.
* **Ichimatsu** - Ichimatsu who was possessed by the youkai – Nine-tailed Kitsune. Over many months and years, his spiritual power increased, allowing him to become a fox spirit with nine tails. It is said that his favourite food is deep-fried tofu.
* **Jyushimatsu** - Jyushimatsu who was possessed by the youkai – Inugami. There is a rumor that an evil dog spirit resides in Western Japan. When possessed, it is said that victims will find themselves binge eating and howling like a dog.
* **Todomatsu** - Todomatsu who was possessed by the youkai – Bake-danuki. As a tanuki with spiritual powers, he can transform freely at will, surpassing any kitsune’s transformative powers. It is said that tanuki simply enjoy frightening people.

Trivia
* The 5th anniversary image references the first volume of 1894 book *Glimpses of Unfamiliar Japan.* This book was among the first to introduce Japanese culture and folklore to the West.
