Akaname
Akaname is a youkai with an extremely long tongue that it uses to lick up dirt and filth. It is said that Akaname can be found in dirty places, such as toilets and sewers. Akaname is often depicted as a young woman with purple hair and a long, sticky tongue.
In the anime "Kiitaro's Youkai Picture Diary," Akaname is one of the many youkai that Kiitaro encounters. In one episode, Kiitaro is tasked with finding Akaname and bringing it back to the human world. Kiitaro eventually finds Akaname in a sewer and manages to convince it to come with him.
Akaname is a fun and engaging character that adds a lot of excitement to the anime. Its long tongue and sticky saliva make it a formidable opponent, but it is also a kind and gentle creature. Akaname is a great example of the diversity and creativity of Japanese folklore.
