GeGeGe no Kitaro/Trivia


 * Dawson Casting: The most recent live-action movie went out of its way to simulate the look of the 1980s anime version, except that Kitaro and Neko-Musume were played by adults. This was "justified" in-story as them having hit puberty without the older yōkai having noticed, but the actors were still clearly older than the age their characters were.
 * Also Beauty Equals Goodness; the But Not Too Foreign actor playing Kitaro was Bishonen instead of short and creepy looking.
