Appearance

In the manga and the 1996 anime, Yuki-Otoko largely resembles Namahage but with a more slender, taller build.

In the 1985 anime, the Yuki-Otoko seen at the end of the GeGeGe no Kitarō: Saikyō Yōkai Gundan! Nippon Jōriku!! has grey hair instead of yellow hair in the previous episode.

Personality

Yuki-Otoko in the 1996 anime was extremely hostile towards whoever he considered foes, but despite harshness towards Kitarō, his family's attacks on humans were to save wildlife from poaching.
