According to wikipedia a Yōkai (妖怪, ghost, phantom, strange apparition) are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons in Japanese folklore. 


The word yōkai is made up of the kanji for "bewitching; attractive; calamity"; and "spectre; apparition; mystery; suspicious".[1] They can also be called ayakashi (あやかし), mononoke (物の怪), or mamono (魔物). Yōkai range diversely from the malevolent to the mischievous, or occasionally bring good fortune to those who encounter them. Often they possess animal features (such as the kappa, which is similar to a turtle, or the tengu which has wings), other times they can appear mostly human, some look like inanimate objects and others have no discernible shape. Yōkai usually have spiritual or supernatural power, with shapeshifting being one of the most common. Yōkai that have the ability to shapeshift are called bakemono (化物) / obake (お化け).


Japanese folklorists and historians use yōkai as "supernatural or unaccountable phenomena to their informants". In the Edo period, many artists, such as Toriyama Sekien, created yōkai inspired by folklore or their own ideas, and in the present, several yōkai created by them (e.g. Kameosa and Amikiri, see below) are wrongly considered as being of legendary origin.All Rights Reserved

The Shades We Follow by Ozzymandiez

This world is a peculiar one. Long ago, Something happened with humans. Nobody knows what caused it. all we know is what it did. It made the impossible possible. Fantasy became reality. Truth and fiction merged together. Quirks is the name given to this phenomenon. At first, it was something as simple as being able to change your hair color or you would simply glow. but now things are different. it's been nearly 200 years since the first quirks manifested in humans. The longer we lived with these 'Quirks' the more powerful they became. It may seem like this brought nothing but good. If only that was the case. The rise of these powers lead some to use their gifts for their own selfish desires. At first, nobody dared stand in the way of these men and women. who could dare challenge the immense power they held? eventually, some grew tired of the lawless state their homes were in. they decided that enough was enough. They became the first real 'Heroes' of this era. Now, they're called vigilantes. As time went on, and various societies began to integrate Quirks with everyday life, the vigilantes faded into near extinction. Heroes replaced them, and branded the vigilantes criminals. They went into hiding, biding their time as generations passed. training their children to follow in their footsteps. The year is now 2XXX, and vigilantes are as rare as they've ever been before. All except one. Nobodies ever seen them. not the people they've saved, the villainess and thugs they've apprehended, the heroes who've been sent to arrest them. They only know their moniker. Deku, 'Good for nothing'. Nothing is known other than that name. Quirk: Unknown (Believed to be a physical enhancement type) Real Name: Unknown alignment: Unknown Age: Unknown Gender: Unknown Who is this 'Deku'? What are their goals? Who's side are they on? Guess there's only one way to find out.
