Drew my OC character Yato (Yato no kami) which is based by the Japanese folklore.
@GaijinGoombah btw you should watch GeGeGe no Kitarō: Nippon Bakuretsu!! (from 2007)
I believe Yato might return to the new series of Gegege -.o (at least hope so)

( He's based on various vampires and undead things from many folklores, namely the pricolici among others)
