Legend[]
Kabuso is a regional name of the Kawauso from the Noto Province. They reside underwater and are as small as a kitten and have broad tails.
When a Kabuso tries to play a trick on humans, it usually follows them and calls out to them. They have to power to disguise themselves, taking the form of beautiful women to deceive people, or tricking people into wrestling with stones or tree roots.
In Kanazawa, they're known as Kawaso and during the summer swimming season, children write “Kawaso Daimyōjin” on a cucumber and throw it into the river. Because they live in the water and enjoy cucumbers, it's theorized they're a type of kappa.
Trivia[]
