Gegege no Kitaro - Kitaro - Mizuki Shigeru no Gensaku Figure Collection - Saiban (Youkai Shop)Kitaro · Youkai Shop

Youkai Shop's Mizuki Shigeru no Gensaku Figure Collection presents Kitaro from the legendary horror manga series GeGeGe no Kitaro. This figure recreates a scene titled "Saiban" (Trial), depicting the series' titular character in a moment drawn from Shigeru Mizuki's original manga stories. GeGeGe no Kitaro follows Kitaro, the last surviving member of the Ghost Tribe, as he mediates conflicts between humans and yokai (Japanese folklore spirits). Created by Shigeru Mizuki and serialized beginning in the 1960s, the series is considered a foundational work of supernatural manga, blending traditional Japanese folklore with horror and dark humor. Kitaro, with his distinctive missing left eye and yokai ancestry, works to maintain balance between the human and spirit worlds. The figure collection by Yokaisha recreates specific scenes from Mizuki's manga stories, with each piece capturing a narrative moment rather than simply presenting a character pose. This approach makes each figure a diorama-like snapshot of Mizuki's storytelling.
