Some mention should be made of the differences between the Yuki Onna and the Yuki Jourou ("Snow Harlot"), a snow spirit that kills for pleasure and sex. Probably some mention should also be made regarding the Tsurara Onna ("Icicle Woman"), who primarily is a harmless trickster spirit. I do have some research on the subject, but do not have access to it at the moment. If anyone knowledgable would like to chime in regarding this, it would help. Mitsukai 13:51, 22 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think the image placed in this article should be removed. This is obviously not a yuki-onna, since they wear robes of pure white except for an occasional spattering of blood. Shikino 20:04, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

That image is a Yuki onna. While the white kimono is the most common image, by no means is it a requirement. MightyAtom 22:14, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Should the character 'Haku' from 'Naruto' be added under 'Yuki-Onna' in pop culture? Despite being male, Haku does share strong resemblance to Yuki-Onna in both appearance and abilites. 60.241.156.98 22:29, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Jynx also is based off Yuki-onna, so i put her there.--Minosuki (talk) 02:23, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
