GeGeGe no Kitarō[]
After the Kitarō Family time travelled through an ancient well deep in a forest, they wondered into Yamatai-koku. There, they found a girl to be sacrificed to Imori, Nezumi-Otoko and Shisa took the girl and ran. Imori knew this and led countless of minion newts that transformed into small soldiers to take the girl back.
During the fight, Kitarō used his Chanchanko to engulf the electric sphere the newt Yōkai created and absorbed the electricity, making both Imori and the sphere shrink in size. There, an illusion of Himiko appeared on the sphere and admitted her lose. Himiko agreed to stop the cursed tradition and returned the girl, in return that the Kitarō Family must keep the secret of the time traveling well.
