Behavior
Kappa are regarded as dwelling in some body of water, a river, pond, swamp, pool,[108][109][7] sometimes even salt water.[112][114][117]
Though sometimes menacing, they may also behave amicably towards humans.[98] Their actions range from comparatively minor misdemeanors, such as looking up women's kimono if they venture too near to water, to outright malevolence, such as drowning people and animals, kidnapping children, raping women and at times eating human flesh.[118]
As for the menacing part, kappa have been go-to monster to be blamed for any drownings, and were often said to try to lure people into water and pull them in with their great skill at wrestling.[118] They are sometimes said to take their victims for the purpose of drinking their blood, eating their livers, or gaining power by taking their shirikodama (尻子玉), a mythical ball said to contain the soul, which is located inside the anus.[118][119] Kappa have been used to warn children of the dangers lurking in rivers and lakes.[120][118]
The more sinister view of them tended to be found in older literature, e.g. Kaibara Ekken (1709),[121] since gradually over the Edo Period, a more comical image of the kappa had developed.[122][r][s] According to these older writings, humans who survived the kappa could still sustain some sort of a mental aftereffect like stupor or insanity.[121][t]
Much of the known modern folklore concerning the kappa involves them bungling in their mischief and being punished,[89][123] e.g., attempting a § horse-pulling or stroking the backside of someone in the toilet, and getting its hand chopped off,[124] or being captured. In return for forgiveness, they typically disclosed the recipe to the kappa's wonder drug [ja],[125][89][124] or make apologetic vows of good behavior,[126] submit a letter of apology (written oath[44]),[125][89] bring gifts of fish,[127] or help out with work in the fields[125] (§ Providing labor), etc. (See further under § Grateful kappa below).
Although the cliché is for the kappa to beg the return of its lost hand,[128] there are "specimens" everywhere in Japan purporting to be the mummified hands of the kappa, including those said to have been cut off by someone long ago (cf. § Mummies).[129][131]
