* ''Demon's World'', an obscure arcade game also known as ''Horror Story'', features many enemies from various mythologies, and in the Japan-esque stage you get to fight kappa, karakasa, rokurokubi, and other youkai.
* ''[[Digimon]]'', like ''[[Pokémon]]'', has many youkai-based creatures.
* ''[[Dungeons & Dragons]]'': The "Oriental Adventures" setting features all kinds of youkai, including oni, kappa, tengu, and yuki-onna. Oni have made their way into the main game as [[Our Ogres Are Hungrier|ogre mages]], which are in fact called Oni or Oni Mages in some editions.
** [[Pathfinder]] as [[Fan Nickname|D&D 3.75]], features many similar monsters and has simply decided to call Ogre Magi Oni and be done with it. They have also expanded to include more types of Oni as well.
* ''[[Gantz]]'' features every youkai ever as aliens in the Osaka arc.
Line 348:
* ''[[Omamori Himari]]'' features several other Youkai in addition to the aforementioned, including an water serpent in a leading role, a Shutendoji and many others in minor parts. Most of the major ones are [[Cute Monster Girl]]s.
* ''Petopeto-san'': Most of the cast are youkai of one kind or another, if not [[Half-Human Hybrid|Half Human Hybrids]].
* ''[[Pokémon]]'' has a lot of creatures based on youkai. An example is Mawile, who is based on the futakuchi-onna, a woman with a monstrous, voracious mouth growing out of the back of her head and hair that functions like tentacles, and Ninetales, which is based on the kitsune. A complete list of Youkai-inspired Pokemon [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXhwp2X8lto&ab_channel=Linfamy is found here.]
* ''[[Princess Mononoke]]''
* ''[[Ranma ½]]'' frequently exploited Japanese folklore to provide their [[Monster of the Week]].
