Kintarō
Kintarō, also known as Golden Boy, is a folk hero from Japanese folklore. He was raised by a mountain witch on Mount Ashigara and became friends with the animals of the mountain. After catching Shuten-dōji, the terror of the region around Mount Ōe, he became a loyal follower of Minamoto no Yorimitsu. Kintarō is a popular figure in Bunraku and kabuki drama, and it is a custom to put up a Kintarō doll on Boy's Day in the hope that boys will become equally brave and strong.
