The Sewers(name)





Nopperabou Ghost(Noppera-bō)
The Noppera-bō (のっぺら坊, Noppera-bō ?), or faceless ghost, is a Japanese legendary creature.

Lafcadio Hearn used the animals' name as the title of his story about faceless monsters, probably resulting in the misused terminology.

※Nopperabou Ghost is "faceless monsters(Noppera-bō?)"
