Gagoze

Japanese folkloric creature

Gagoze (元興寺), also gagoji, guwagoze, gangō, and gangōji no oni is a yōkai said to have appeared at Gangō-ji in the Nara Prefecture around the Asuka period. It can also be found in the text of the Heian period Nihon Ryōiki, the Honchō Monzui, among others. In classical yōkai drawings such as the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō by Toriyama Sekien, it is depicted as an oni with the appearance of a monk.
