The Kappa is the most famous of all the legendary Japanese monsters. He resembles a cross between a monkey, a frog and a turtle.
The Kappa has the face of a monkey with the beak of a turtle and a plate-shaped depression in the top of his head. He has green skin like a frog and a turtle shell on his back. His arms and legs are able to stretch out really long and his hands and feet are webbed like a frog.
Kappas usually play pranks such as delivering loud, smelly farts and peeking up women’s dresses. However, they have also been known to commit horrible crimes like kidnapping small children and killing people and eating their internal organs.
The Kappa will lurk underwater in rivers and streams, waiting for its victims. In olden days in Japan, people would go squat by the side of a river and go to the toilet. The Kappa would swim underneath you, until it could see your big bare butt hanging over the side of the bank. Then it attacks when you least suspect it.
Sometimes the Kappa grabs your butt and drags you into the water, holding you under the surface until you drown. At other times, the Kappa sticks his elongated arm up your butt, up through your insides and grabs hold of your tongue. Then the Kappa pulls your tongue out through your butt, turning your body inside-out. Finally, as you flop around on the ground, with your skin on the inside and your guts on the outside, the Kappa takes out your liver and eats it whole.
Nowadays, since people go to the toilet indoors, the Kappa lurks in sewers and bathroom pipes. He sticks his arm up into your toilet, waiting for you to come along and sit down on the bowl. So if you’re ever sitting on the toilet and you feel something moving underneath you, jump up as fast as you can. You may just avoid being turned inside-out by a Kappa.
Dear Kappa…..DONT TOUCH MY BUTT!
okaaaaayy… I’m glad I live in California, US… I’m starting to get kinda scared of the bathroom now, with this, and all the mirror stories – we have a huge mirror in the bathroom – so I’m paranoid now… heheh…AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!
I shall go to the bathroom standing up from now on. (I’m a girl so this is going to be awkward..)
I’ve read this a long time ago in sfk & still now I haven’t seen Kappa!!! Funny pic!!
I’m lucky that I live on the other side of the Earth!
Looks like the Grinch with a beak
9) Why not just go eat cucumbers instead of livers?
eww so its a perv that shoves its hand up your butt and pulls you inside out. I like that I can talk about legends on here because my friends are weenies.
and in that episode he was a water creature that would drown unsuspecting Japanese children, so where the heck the loo interference came from is a mystery.
this photo was shown in River Monsters on Animal Planet with Jeremy Wade in his investigation to determine its validity x.x
I’m never going to Japan. Well, I am, but I’m not using their restrooms. Or going to the beaches.
btw just saying WHY BUTTS?
THAT IS JUST DISGUSTING!!!!!
Did you know Koopa from Super Mario is based on Kappa?
another thing is they love cucomberand japanese school children so children would write there family name in a cucomber and throw it in the water to prevent an attack but kappa are super polite so the bowl has water on its head and if you give it a deep bow it returns it and the water falls outleaving it paralized and you can run or put water in the bowl and it will be eternaly grateful to you and be your best bud
1) Kappa is a pervert.
2) I read this just before I used the bathroom.
3) The picture looks like my grandpa.
4) Does this only happen in Japan?
5) Just got back from the toilet.
6) Friggin’ Kappa didn’t touch me.
7) How’s it get in the da** toilet in the first place?
8) Take a dump on the thing!
Also just when I thought there was enough trauma in the bathroom……..I’m so paranoid of the bathroom.
So seriously i need to move out of Japan like NOW.
Is this only happens in Japan btw this is gross
I’m lucky i live in Scotland
O.O
OKAY NIHON.HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU LIKE A KAPPA?!;A; I SHALL NEVER GO TO THE BATHROOM EVER AGAIN.
Those kappas are pervs Seriously who stickes his hand up you ass. I hope he liked the view -,-. I mean sarcastically speaking though.
lol @SoulSuckah thats to funny
I think it looks adorable! But then again… I don’t want a turtle/frog/monkey things hand up my ass. I pooped my pants when I read this.
Japanese kids must walk in twos with their legs crossed at all times. Wait a minet! If they stick their hands up your but just before you have a dump that means they’ll have a arm coverd in feces. o.O
