Tengu

for you.

Because you have your own company called, and it's called Tengu, or is that how you pronounce

it? It's Tengu, yeah.

Tengu.

Is that

coming, what's the background of that name? I know it as a mountain spirit from Japan, but I'm not sure that, well, now I see the background of you, I think it's going that way, but could you elaborate a little bit on where that name comes from?

I stayed three and a half years.

Okay.

We stopped at some temples up there.

There's some pretty cool Tengu stuff to see up there.

Yep.

But if you wanted to, like I said, we're talking about this specific trail we did, but you could choose another trail for a better workout.

You're not wrong there.

It's almost got me second-guessing.

That's where the categories get hard, too, because the Tengu are part of the cultural relevance and the uniqueness,

but also part of the scenery, too.

so rightio.

I've called it Tengu mask.

Yeah, but everybody uses it as dildo mask anyway.

Do they? Right, anyway, so we're now going to talk about Return to Lululand.

Yeah.

Yeah, which I believe is supposed to be like representation of like a mask, basically a Tengu mask.

But I have a feeling that Kiryu's guardian yokai is based on, or parts of the elements are based on the Yatagarasu, specifically the Kenyu, because Kuin has this attack, Gold Dust.

Queen is the one that's, like...

And I can't remember which submersible it was, but footage of an actual goblin shark swimming around down in the deep.

also shows just how big they are they actually get to be these really quite large chunky sharks which is pretty cool so they're quite large predators down in the deep ocean but it's not just their sling jaw and sort of weird sticky out face that makes them unusual is they've also got this like pinkish colored texture to the skin the skin's apparently a bit translucent so sort of the the color is is lent by the pigmentation of the blood underneath and stuff and apparently this is also actually where their name comes from so sort of fisherman in Japan would catch them and often liken them to these mythical creatures, which I think are called Tengu in Japanese folklore, which are these supernatural spirits who are exceptional swordsmen and stuff.

And so the name Goblin Shark comes from the Japanese name for them, which was the Tengu Same, I think, which translates to Goblin Shark based on the likeness of the color, but also the facial features.

Apparently these spirits also often have quite pronounced large features like large noses and things that oh this looks like this and that's a goblin shark uh which i think is pretty cool um another interesting thing i thought was a different aspect that name though is apparently although tengu describes that particular type of spirit apparently the literal translation of the word is heavenly dog which again don't quote me on that and i'm not entirely sure what it is but that's just something i found in a couple of places And I thought that was a nice contrast to the demeanor of the shark and the Halloween theme is that actually the tengu for the spirit might also refer to something else.

Yeah, so I've gone off a bit of a tangent there, but goblin sharks.

Odies, yeah, those are aliens.

Tengu, those are aliens too.

I mean, that is

not an unpopular theory in ufology these days.

So it's a three chain.

Ooh, the top one is like a Tengu looking guy.

Yeah, Shift 3.

I

guess Nesleef is supposed to be a Tengu kind of thing?

Yep.

And Tengu is like a kind of mischievous wind spirit or forest spirit, whatever, in Shinto lore, I believe.

A

It's old Sumade, isn't it?

A Ronin Tengu.

Can we first address the fact that this is a secretary bird and that's freaking awesome.

I have no feelings either way on a

Newkinin.

I think that's unique.

And he's a Tengu.

Is it something to do with the fact that they're like...
