Kijimunaa (Japanese)

The kijimunaa (or bunagaya) is one of the most famous of Okinawa's magical creatures. A sprite, the kijimunaa resembles a short young boy and features bright red hair. They look somewhat like a Troll doll. Some say that only children or the pure of heart can see the kijimunaa. They may or may not be seen accompanied by fire.

They live in the tops of Okinawa's gajumaru trees; they are especially famous in the Yomitan area, where their images can be seen in many places. Kijimunaa are known for playing harmless pranks. Kijimunaa can also be helpful, but they are quick to change their minds. They enjoy fishing and eating fish. The only thing they fear is the octopus.
