| Comments: | I think we should include the romanised name as a gloss. "appears like" should be avoided. "looks like" is OK. |

| Comments: | Not a fan of using the word "yōkai" in this gloss (though I realize the word is becoming more common in English). I've suggested adding it to the 妖怪 entry though. BTW, Marcus, I'd appreciate if you could sign as "Marcus A" or something rather than just "Marcus", to avoid confusion. |
