Friends, lovers of Japan, Yokai, and manga, ever since I saw Naruto, which was already 20 years ago now, I fell in love with the Toad and its universe. I find toads so intriguing, and in the Japanese world, this Yokai really sparked my curiosity. So, I had to make a small collection for the child I was (first and foremost), but also for fans of Yokai and Japanese folklore. Here is my little collection of Yokai Toads ⛰🐸
If you want to learn more about the history of the Yokai Ogama, it's over here ⬇
So, first of all, I imagined 7 hermit toads traveling the world in search of their native mountain. I needed a balance in this group of wandering misfits, so I thought of different but complementary profiles. So here are the first 7 hermit toads. They are no longer available, but a volume 2 is coming soon.
The sneakiest of the bunch, always up to mischief. Even though he's got a good heart and you can count on him, he clearly has his own agenda...
She can either restore all your energy with her delicate dishes or kill you with the first bite.
Let the magic of his brushes flow. Everything he paints becomes reality.
The oldest of the group, a bit grumpy or sleepy... watch out if you wake him up during his nap.
Wielding the katana like no other and a brawler, he has his own character but will always get you out of a tough situation.
As long as his stomach is full, he will be kind to you and helpful. An apprentice magician who uses his magic mainly for his gustatory needs.
Always seeking new adventures, he's clever and knows how to adapt to any situation. A stable and solid element for our group.
But the adventure doesn't stop there; there's a whole world behind this team of misfits. Soon, the second founder will be revealed, along with the next 7 hermit toads 👀
Stay Tuned 🐸
