The Yōkai Car (妖怪自動車 Yōkai Jidōsha or 妖怪カー Yōkai Kā) is a car used by Kitarō throughout the series. There are several (roughly 3 to 4) types of it.

Description

Type1: Its body was made out of a skull of a dinosaur, and it uses four Wanyūdō as wheels. These Wanyudō are not malicious and were hired by Kitarō to serve as its wheels in exchange for having a rice-ball per day as payment as shown in the illustration.
