• 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.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: The live action movie has Cobra Kaijin, Rijie, Gan Xing and Taka.
• Name's the Same: Partially averted. Well-known New Age musician Kitaro took that stage name in honor of this manga, but written with different kanji.
