Kerakera-Onna Illustration

Illustration of Kerakera-Onna by Shigeru Mizuki.

Kerakera-Onna is a giant female yōkai from the Konjaku Hyakki Shūi best known for their loud cackling.

When a person walking alone on the street and begins to feel uneasy, they hear a shrill laughter. When they turn around, they find the Kerakera-Onna appearing from behind a wall, letting out ever louder cackling that startles them, and if you try to run away, the laughter will become even louder. Those who are weak-willed will faint just from hearing the laughter. Only the victim of the Kerakera-Onna can hear her laughter. She is thought to be the spirit of a prostitute.
