Yokai Quiz

If you were a yokai, which would you be?

Yokai are the strange and wonderful beings of Japanese folktales and local legends — river imps, mountain goblins, house spirits and more. You don't need to know anything about them: just pick what you'd actually do in everyday situations, and find which of 8 yokai, from the kappa and the tengu to the zashiki-warashi, is most like you.

This is a playful comparison to yokai from Japanese folktales and legends. The way each yokai looks and behaves has been told differently from place to place and era to era — here we borrow just one version of each story as a way of describing personality.

3 axes

From your 18 answers we place you between two ends on each of 3 axes, on a scale of 0–100. The combination gives one of 8 yokai.

Presence	Step into view ↔ Stay unseen
Shape	Change to fit the scene ↔ Stay as you are
Haunt	Near people ↔ Out in the wild

All 8 yokai

None is better or worse than another — each has the moments where it shines. compatibility chart for the Yokai Quiz

Bake-danuki (Shape-shifting Raccoon Dog)Living near the village and the temple, you change your looks and your voice — and win people over with a drum roll on your own belly. Ittan-momen (Flying Cloth)You flutter into view across the evening sky, changing shape with the wind as you sweep past people. Kasa-obake (Umbrella Spirit)You hop into view on one leg and surprise people just as you are — one eye, no disguise. Kappa (River Imp)You poke your head up out of a river or pool and, just as you are, invite people to a sumo match. Rokurokubi (Long-Necked Yokai)By day you blend into everyday life, and at night you stretch your neck to quietly see what's going on. Yamabiko (Mountain Echo)Unseen deep in the mountains, you answer whoever calls in a voice exactly like theirs. Zashiki-warashi (House Spirit)You settle into the back rooms of an old house and, with nothing but footsteps and a presence, brighten the whole home. Tengu (Mountain Goblin)Hidden deep in the mountains, you keep to your own ways and keep honing your skills.
