Daemons of the Shadow Realm (Yomi no Tsugai) is packed with creatures inspired by Japanese mythology, but one demon caught us completely off guard.

In this deep dive, we explore the bizarre and surprisingly fascinating folklore behind Midori, the tanuki yokai. From shapeshifting and supernatural trickery to one of the strangest abilities we’ve ever encountered in anime, the real mythology behind this character is somehow even wilder than the show.

And yes… there’s actually a historical reason for it.

Join us as we dive into the Japanese folklore, legends, and cultural history hiding inside Demons of the Shadow Realm—and discover why anime gets even better when you understand the mythology behind it.

What demon or yokai should we investigate next? Let us know in the comments!
