Legend[]
Illustration of Kuroppokojin by Shigeru Mizuki.
Kuroppokojin are a race of dwarf people that lived in the summit of Mt. Gokayama in Toriga Village, Higashitonami Ward, Toyama Prefecture.
Even the adults of the race are said to have only grown to about one meter in size. They preferred flat, south-facing areas, digging caves to live in, by primitively hunting animals with bows and arrows, as well as gathering and eating nuts and wild vegetables such as akebia and chestnuts.
Shigeru Mizuki had theorized the Kuroppokojin might be related in some way to the Ainu Korpokkur, due to their similar name and appearance.
