Kenmun

Kenmun are hairy humanoids that are believed to appear on the islands of Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan, especially on Amami Oshima Island. It is believed to be related to the Kappa of Honshu, Shikoku, and Kyushu because of the depression on its head called sara and its preference for waterside areas.

Sightings[]

On Tokunoshima Island, there were sightings of this species until the 1960s. However, few records of this time are known.

According to Director Nakayama of the Amami Museum, there were cases of Kenmun footprints being found around 1990, and some people claimed to have captured a Kenmun around 2000.
