[edit] Kappa
Are you sure there is no Kappabashi has no relation to the mythical Kappa creature? There are signs with the creature all up and down the street as well as a statue of one in the middle of the street. Greggman 03:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- I had this argument with the self-appointed maintainer of the Kappa (mythology) page when I added a link to here from there. Yes - it's obvious that the Japanese think (correctly or incorrectly) of the Kappa coming from the mythical creature. No - it's hard to get some people to accept the obvious. Richard W.M.
