Aobozu (青坊主 Aobōzu, lit. Blue Priest) is a kind of Japanese yokai, or folklore creature. One appears in episodes 2 and 3 of the 1974 Toho tokusatsu series, Go! Kotaro Ushiwaka.
Name
Aobozu's name is derived from the Japanese words ao (青), meaning "blue," and bōzu (坊主), meaning "priest." Though Aobozu does not have any one consistent appearance in Japanese folklore tales, a common depiction is a blue figure resembling a priest, thus inspiring its name.
Design
Aobozu mostly resembles a human with a bald head and mostly blue skin but with reddish white chest and hands.
