Mizuki Sigru's Gagegan Oftestaro
For years, yokai existed in this nebulous space. It wasn't until after World War II that yokai crept out of the shadows and back into the public imagination. In the 1950s, an artist and animator named Mizuki Sigru released a manga that was adapted into a popular animation series called Gagegan Oftestaro.
