Kasa-Bake (lit. Umbrella Monster), also known as either Karakasa-Kozou (からかさ小僧, lit. Paper Umbrella Boy) or Bake-Gasa (化け傘, lit. Monster Umbrella), is a recurring character from GeGeGe no Kitarou. He is often an ally of Kitarou but will sometimes be portrayed as an enemy. Unlike most youkai characters in the series, he is more often depicted as a race rather than a specific individual.
