Toilet Hand Yokai
黒手 くろて Translation: black hand Habitat: toilets Diet: unknown Appearance: A kurote is a bizarre, hairy yōkai from the Noto peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. Legends: Long ago in the province of Noto, there was a samurai named Kasamatsu Jingobei. He lived in a nice house, as was typical of samurai at the time.
One day, his wife went to use the bathroom, and something strange happened. In some accounts, rejecting both options and running away from Aka Manto will also result in the individual's survival. [1] In some versions, the Aka manto is a hairy yōkai called a kainade who lives in the toilet.
In the kainade's case, a hairy arm of the chosen color will rise out of the toilet and fondle the student's behind. [5]. A toilet-dwelling apparition recorded in the Edo-period miscellany Shifugoroku (Four Unspoken Tales).
It haunts household privies, extending a shaggy, pitch-black hand to stroke a person's rear and perform other pranks. In Toita Village of Noto, it is said a villager cut off the black hand with a sword. Days later, a yokai disguised as a monk came to reclaim the severed hand; its true form.
In some places it is even blamed on a hairy yōkai called a kainade who lives in the toilet and likes to stroke people's rear ends with its hand. In the kainade's case, the end result is markedly less violent: a hairy arm of the chosen color rises out of the toilet to stroke the student's behind. Toiletta is based on the urban legend of Toire no Hanako-san (トイレの花子さん, translated as "Hanako-san of the toilet") which dates as far back as the '50s and is one of the most popular and widespread urban legends in Japan, comparably to Bloody Mary in the United States.

Until Gaijin Goomba makes a Yokai Hunters Episode about this Toilet Hand; I'd. Aka Manto is not your average ghost, but often described more of a demonic entity or yōkai who lurks in public restrooms, particularly school bathrooms. Very often it is in elementary schools in a specific stall in an older or not often dark and forgotten toilet, especially the older squat toilets.
It is often the fourth stall that is the cursed one as the number four is associated with death. Ever wonder what's the deal with hands coming out of toilets in Japanese media and urban legends?
