History[]
Kitarō's World Obake Tour[]
The airplane which Kitarō and others were onboard was high-jacked and needed an emergency landing in Kenya. Nezumi-Otoko wandered around and encountered a ritual of Vodun. Nezumi-Otoko and Kasa-Bake recorded the secret song. The song was devoted to Voodoo, however, the intruders stole and made it into a record and sold it in Japan. The song became a hit and the two became extravagant. Knowing this, Voodoo came to Japan and attacked the intruders to punish them. The Kenyan god dissolved Nezumi-Otoko into nothing but eyeballs and tried to eat Kitarō. However, the Yōkai boy's Chanchanko was immune to Voodoo's attacks and instead bound the god. Voodoo forgave the Japanese Yōkai as they promised to return the song, and the god returned to Kenya peacefully.[1]
