this was a really awesome video. you should be aware that there is a tengu in "bonks adventure" for the turbo graphics 16. it was my first introduction to tengu. and it has fascinated me ever since.
Came across the Tengu in Dead or Alive 2. My wife noticed it and told me it was a traditional monster in Japan (along with the Oni and Kappa). My response was "You're got to be kidding me" because the Tengu was pretty much the most stupid, random creature I'd ever seen.
Ever since I got into playing dead or alive 2 for the dreamcast I became really interested in the tengu. But after I found out that a single daitengu has the strength of 100 men and sojobo (the king of tengu) has the strength of 10,000 men tengu became my absolute favorite mythological creature. It blows my mind how there is so little anime,manga, and Japanese movies surrounding the myth of the tengu. the most notable atleast imo recently is gantz,naruto, and tactis
I prefer the Karasu and I really like the Tengu in the game Guild Wars - if you've ever played it - and are disappointed they're not playable in the game's upcoming sequel :(
Tengu is the awesomest oni there is! I'm gonna look for him in the forests of Nikko when summertime comes. It's too cold there in winter. I want to ask him if I can have his shoes. I'll trade him my socks and an umeboshi for his geta. Selfish? Maybe. Stupid? Definitely!! He had better be there when I get there, too. And come out when I call him. If he don't show, then I'm gonna set the forest on fire with a lighter!! It'll serve him right for being all hermetic and secretive. HA!
um, well this conversation's going nicely but ill have to divert it to a comment related to Tengu in general.
has anyone ever noticed that the father Dan Hibiki (from Street Fighter series), Guy Hibiki, wears a Tengu mask? Its red, and has a long nose. Pretty cool, huh?
I like the music, brings back memories of a great anime.
When I was in Japan, I was taught about the Tengu and saw masks that were over a hundred years old. Tengu, and Shinto in general, are really neat. The shrines there are amazing too. I love the random empty shrines in the forests and up in the mountains.
No. The Tengu is a mythical creature of japan. Kidnappers of children were considered at that time were missing. But the Tengu was also adapted for many games including death or alive.
tengu was greatly worshiped by the mountain warrior monks called yamabushi. They were spiritual creature of mountains who brought protection to the temples and shrines.
actually tengu did kidnap children, They were said to abduct children, who would later be found in hard to reach places, often driven mad... it wasn't until later that they were viewed in a more sympathetic light. After legends sprang up of tengu teaching man the arts of war, and they went from being viewed as harbingers of doom and the antithesis of buddhism, to semi kind natured pranksters who still enjoyed war
oh that's fine, I'm just obsessed with Japanese mythology, the Tengu in particular. If I came across as condescending, I am truly sorry, just trying to be helpful
I didnt feel one bit like you were condescending. I am interested in Japanese mythology and bake mono myself, but I guess that's because Im Japanese. Anyway thanks again for the info and I am glad to know you are into Japanese myth.
yea another facet of Japanese culture that fascinates me is ninjutsu, that is how I first got interested in tengu, and tanuki, because their skills in disguise and deception would go great in ninja manga lol.
Really? thats cool, you obviously live in the US right? But have you ever thought of visiting Japan? It is the craziest country in the world. Ive been living in the US for ten years now but i still sometimes miss japan. Do you watch animes like Naruto?
yea I live in the US, I was supposed to visit Japan a few times; once as an exchange student in highschool, once as a graduation trip and once to see my best friend Arisa, but it ever worked out. I love naruto, it is my favorite anime.
Thats a shame that a person like you who has such deep interest on Japanese culture has not been able to go to japan yet. When you have a chance, definitely try to go. naruto is actually one of my favorite anime, but I read the japanese manga more than watching them on TV. i finished this year's college semester so I will be flying back to Japan as my summer vacation in couple of days. Its always good to go back to my home country.
yea, it's all good though... I'll go eventually, I need to brush up on my Japanese anyway.I also agree with you on manga being superior...when a manga gets adapted into an anime, things tend to get messed up...
I didnt really say manga was superior to anime, but now that you mention it, I guess you are right. anime tends to change the storyline to shorten it but I have watched some really good animes as well.
Have you ever seen FLCL or paranoid agent or Zipang?? they one of my favorites.
FLCL is in my opinon perfection in regards to anime, the anime is far superior to the manga, another amazing anime was neon genesis evangelion...I just meant manga was better for the most part, especially when it comes to naruto
yeah this is a nice video but your missing the hundreds of tengu in the online video game Guild Wars i mean even if you had the main tengu character talon silverwing that would make the video better in my opinion
Yeah, if you look at 2:43 - 2:46, in this vid those two are toys. I don't think that they have any action figures, like that but they do have Shiftree and Tenguman action figures.
o w8 nvm umm yes i do my friend made a video of this whole story he was wrong about 2 things thats all on was itachi having his bro get mangekyou and the other was wit ameratsu and tenju is madars brother srry
tenju is the father of itachi he was able to shape shift and turn in human forms he had all the powers of a uchiha but not there eyes he married a hyuga clan member and had sex wit her and made uchiha and all the powers on tenju was placed in a eye formation because of byakugan
Excellent video, Tengu are my favortie yokai and one of my favortie mythical creatures as well. The historical pics were nice as I haven't seen alot of those before, and the song is great.
I'd like to say that I made this video because I wanted to post something with some history to it. Myths and lore play a huge role in society all over the world. I choose Tengu because they happen to be my favorite out of Japanese lore.
That first drawing you see of the red tengu and blue lettering I did, its my desktop's background! I fogot to add at the end that the anime Tactics has a tengu in it, along with Karasu Tengu Kabuto. Both I would suggest reading.
