A tribute to the Rokurokubi について・・・
Rokurokubi (ろくろ首, rokuro-kubi) are yokai found in Japanese folklore. They look like normal human beings by day, but at night they gain the ability to stretch their necks to great lengths. They can also change their faces to those of terrifying oni (Japanese ogres) to better scare mortals. Due to an error made by Lafcadio Hearn in his book Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things, these creatures are often mistaken for a more vicious monster, the nukekubi.
