Akaname : ウィキペディア英語版
Akaname

The is a demon or yōkai from Japanese folklore. Meaning ''filth licker'' in Japanese, ''akaname'' can also be translated to mean ''red licker'' since ''aka'' is an homonym for ''red'' and ''filth.'' For this reason the akaname is often described as being red in colour.
The akaname is the "personification of the fear of using a dark bathroom late at night".〔 It is said to come out at night to literally lick up the grime and dirt that accumulates in unclean bathrooms.〔
== Akaname in art==
Toriyama Sekien's 1776 work, ''Gazu Hyakki Yakō'' (''Pictures of Demons' Nocturnal Stroll'') includes an early line drawing of an akaname,〔 possibly based on ''Kokon Hyaku Monogatari Hyōban'' (古今百物語評判; ''An Evaluation of One Hundred Strange and Weird Tales of Past and Present''), a tale from the Edo period.〔 Sekien included no explanation for the drawing.
