A kappa —also known as kawatarō, komahiki, kawatora or suiko –is an amphibious yōkai demon or imp found in traditional Japanese folklore. They are typically depicted as green, human-like beings with webbed hands and feet and a turtle-like carapace on their backs.
Their actions range from the comparatively minor, such as looking up women's kimono if they venture too near to water, to the outright malevolent, such as drowning people and animals, kidnapping children, raping women and at times eating human flesh.
Kappas are considered to be malevolent creatures that have a tendency to direct their anger towards humans and livestock. ... However, despite their evil ways, Kappa are obsessed with politeness and human tradition
