The Kappa is a mythical creature deeply rooted in Japanese folklore, embodying a blend of supernatural intrigue and cultural significance.
Typically depicted as a water-dwelling imp or river monster, the Kappa is characterized by its humanoid appearance with a dish-like depression atop its head that holds water.
This water serves as the source of the creature's power, and if the water spills, the Kappa becomes weakened.
Known for both mischievous and malevolent behavior, Kappas are believed to inhabit rivers and ponds, where they may challenge humans to sumo wrestling matches or engage in pranks.
Despite their trickster nature, Kappas are also bound by a strong sense of politeness, and one can outsmart or defeat them by bowing, causing the water in their head to spill.
