:Update: Jaken is definitely not a kappa. In the Inuyasha episode "Chokyukai and the Abducted Bride" there is a kappa, and it looks totally different from Jaken and the other examples of his race, so Takahashi's kappa are definitely different from Jakken. Fortunately the article seems to have revised it and just said that the show has kappa in it. |

Oops. I just posted an article I'd written while away from the internet: Kappa (Japanese folklore). It's considerably more detailed than this one, but this one does have a few details mine does not. What's the procedure to merge these suckers? BrianSmithson 22:08, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Okay, I merged them. BrianSmithson 07:23, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
The article mentions that these creatures are common in Final Fantasy games. Are they known under a different name in the US versions, or did I miss them? - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 20:42, Apr 27, 2004 (UTC)
- They're renamed "Imps" in the US translations. -Sean 03:44, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

I removed the link to Kappabashi-dori as that has nothing to do with the kappa. It's a coincidental homophony Nik42 05:07, 27 July 2005 (UTC)
I simply annotated it with an alternate name for Kappa (Gataro) that I came across in my studies. I haven't found much mention of this name outside of the old Oumi region, (present-day Shiga). I also mentioned a current cartoon show airing on Japanese TV.-Cadmus Kyrala
