Straw-caped giant of the north who repays tavern hospitality with cords of firewood and heavy field labor.
A powerful giant oni dressed in a straw rain cape and hat. He loves sake, tobacco, and sumo wrestling. Stories about him include one in which he drinks for free at a tavern but returns the next day carrying a large load of firewood, and another in which he appears at a farm and helps with the fieldwork, only to take away a great quantity of rice afterward.
