The spooky yokai boy Kitaro is back for his sixth book, and this time he has a pile of monsters to beat

Featuring seven stories by Japan's beloved monster master Shigeru Mizuki, Kitaro's Yokai Battles features some of Kitaro's strangest foes yet - including his good pal Nezumi Otoko, who decides that he should be the star of the comic. With friends like these . . . who needs enemies?

But enemies seem to be all Kitaro has. He faces off against villains like the yokai Hoko - who has an evil scheme to corner the market on pickled daikon radish - and the Amifuri Tengu, who always brings the rain. Things get hairy in The Great Hair Battle," when Medama Oyaji's friend Kemedama begs for Kitaro's help against an attack of giant wigs. The massive mud monster Dorotabo gets down and dirty with Kitaro, and the red-tongued Akashita swoops down from above. And these are just a few yokai from the hilarious cast of characters in Kitaro's Yokai Battles .
