I was thinking maybe YOSHITSNE would have one, based on the legend of his learning swordsmanship from a daitengu on mount Kurama...but I haven't heard about a tengu in that film/series. I suppose I would be willing to take reccomendations for any films with Japanese folkloric or mythological creatures (kitsune, maybe). I just haven't come across any that would fit the bill that also wouldn't cost me anything to investigate. If anybody here has some ideas, I would be very grateful.

Plus they're in lots of anime. -paghat the ratgirl --------- paghat's film reviews: www.weirdwildrealm.com books written or edited by me: www.violetbooks.com/CATALOGS/catalogfrontpage.html temperate gardening: www.paghat.com
