## Trivia

### Origin

Toiletta is based on the urban legend of *Toire no Hanako-san* (トイレの花子さん, ltranslated as "Hanako-san of the toilet") and it dates as far back as the '50s and is one of the most popular and widespread urban legends in Japan, comparably to *Bloody Mary* in the United States. Incidentally, "Hanako" was a very common female name at that time, similarly to the English "Mary".

She is said to be the ghost of a little girl who haunts school bathrooms, and if someone walks to the third stall of the girls' bathroom on the third floor, asks "Are you in there, Hanako-san?" and knocks three times, she will answer "I'm here". The story of her origins and accounts varies greatly from place to place, but she is generally imagined as a grade-school age girl with a bob haircut, a white shirt and a red skirt with overalls. Depending on the source, Hanako-san can be friendly, mischievous, or actually a monstrous entity posing as a little girl, who will promptly seize those who call its name.

Due to its nature as a urban legend, there is various origins explaining how Hanako-San became a youkai. Some notable origins has Hanako-San being the ghost of a girl who was murdered while playing hide-and-seek during a World War II air raid, a victim of a plane crash, the lingering soul after a successful suicide or a victim of Atomic bomb of Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Regardless of origin, the story mostly agree that she died in the third stall of the third bathroom, and her specter now resides in there. To summon Hanako-San, the person summoning her must walk into a girl's bathroom, knock thrice, and ask if she is there. Depending on the version, the summoner might find themselves being dragged off to Hell (either by an ethereal hand or Hanako-San herself) or become the latest meal for a three-headed lizard.
