Mizore Ito and Hachishaku-sama

My character Mizore Ito (Misery-chan) with Hachishaku-sama (Miss Eight Feet Tall)

I was inspired by the song Oyashiro-sama from the Higurashi OST while working on Part 1:

Kenji Kawai - Oyashiro-sama

For Part 2, I was inspired by the song Amaku Kagayakashiku from the Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu Sukeroku Futatabi Hen OST:

Kana Shibue - Amaku Kagayakashiku

the kuchisake onna thing

SOOOOOO basically most English sources claim Kuchisake onna was killed by her husband but i have no idea where that backstory came from because i can't find one Japanese source that has a origin even close to that... it's generally one one of these:

Failed plastic surgery

by the dentist

Car crash

accidents with garden tools

Or she did it herself

Between the furniture, in cracks of the wall, through the spaces between doors and floorboards, and every other existing narrow gap. All the small slivers are space are where she waits and watches you.

A miserable modern yokai that seems to prefer solitude.

More of an urban legend being I guess: the Kuchisake-onna from Japan!

Say No, and she kills you; say Yes, and she gives you the same slit mouth as her.
