Today's #dolltober2023 theme on Instagram is "Sheet Ghost." Kiyomi Haunterly is the daughter of the Noppera-bō (Japanese faceless ghost).
The Noppera-bō (のっぺらぼう), or faceless ghost, is a Japanese yōkai (strange apparition) that looks like a human but has no face. They are known primarily for frightening humans, but are usually otherwise harmless. They appear at first as ordinary human beings, sometimes impersonating someone familiar to the victim, before causing their features to disappear, leaving a blank, smooth sheet of skin where their face should be. Hence today's theme!
Noppera-bō are sometimes mistakenly referred to as a mujina, an old Japanese word for a badger or raccoon dog. Although the mujina can assume the form of the other, noppera-bō are usually disguised as humans. Such creatures were thought to sometimes transform themselves into noppera-bō in order to frighten humans.
Yokai with a penchant for mobilizing in large groups in order to frighten unsuspecting people.
They are quite dramatic in doing so, "I saw a person with no face," the victim might say, and the response "You mean like this?" as they wipe off their own disguise.
Hey everyone, I’m late to the Spooptober party but wanted to throw up a few screengrabs of the monsters I’ve been working on this past month. I’ve been really into making some folkloric creatures for awhile so I thought I would try my hand at a few yokai! I’ll be updating this post with links to the new ones.
Yokai # 2: Hitotsume-kozō
Yokai #3: Nando baba
Yokai #4: Enkō
Yokai #5: Hinnagami
Sims 4 Yokai #1: Noppera-Bō
A ghost that looks humanoid but lacks a face. An otherwise harmless spirit, this yokai likes to scare mortals by disguising themselves as human--from a distance.
Inspired by the Rain Walker from Ghostwire: Tokyo, these yokai can be found wandering in thunderstorms in game.
(Yes, he looks like Slender-Man. This is because Slender-Man is inspired by this yokai--not the other way around.)

A super old, super random creepypasta child I made forever and ever ago, that I decided to doodle. Purely because why the hell not. I haven’t drawn anything non-skeleton in a while now, so ye. I forgot how to draw hair. But meh,,, I’m not worried about it
Her father is a slender being, and her mother is a japanese noppera-bō. She can teleport and do all the things that her papa can do, but like her mother, she’s capable of temporarily “borrowing” someone’s face and then just kinda,, wiping it away later on
Also, fun fact that literally no one asked for: I drew this whole thing with my finger. Not once did I bother getting a stylus
Not pictured: her lil cute af pleated skirt, claws, and tentacles
(A couple alternate versions can be found under the cut!)
The Noppera-bō is a humanoid Yokai found in Japanese folklore.The Noppera-bō is described as a humanoid Yokai wearing a robe and its most distinguishing feature being the fact that it has no face. The Noppera-bō is said to disguise itself as a normal human usually as someone of its victim’s family then when least expected, they make their facial features vanish shocking their victim. Sometimes Kitsunes and Tanukis would disquise themselves as Noppera-bō to mask their appearance.
