Editing Zipangu (section)

==Overview==

The [[human]]s of Zipangu do not worship the [[Chief God]], instead mostly believing "''that the divine is present in all things''". There are even instances where some mamono are worshiped as gods, by both human and mamono worshippers. The [[Ryu]] and [[Inari]] are common targets for such faiths.

Even on occasions where a human man is pursued by a mamono that's seeking a husband, most of these instances turn out to be much less violent. In fact, many such attacks end with the mamono becoming a devoted wife to the man. However, despite a majority of mamono in the Zipangu region being much more gentle than their counterparts in the rest of the world, there are still a few (especially the [[Ushi-Oni]]) that are known to violently assault men in pursuit of intercourse.

The Zipangu region is home to many monsters who make their lairs in mountainous regions. Those traveling over high peaks should be on the lookout for [[Aka-Oni|oni]] caves and [[Crow Tengu|tengu]] eyries. Shinobi villages deep within the mountainous areas of the Zipangu region are the places where mercenary ninja [[kunoichi]] monster girls live and train; once a kunoichi finds a man that strikes her fancy, she will bring him back with her <ref>Kunoichi profile</ref>. To eschew the mountains and stay at home isn't much more of a guarantee of safety, however; [[Jorou-Gumo]] and [[kejourou]] geishas provocatively solicit human streets, and even inside the home, your [[Chochin-Obake|lantern]] or [[Karakasa-Obake|umbrella]] might suddenly sprout tits and attack you.

Some regions in Zipangu ''do'' resist coexistence with monsters, hosting monster-slayers such as the Amanomiya clan. This gave rise to the only named character from Zipangu in the ''Monster Girl Encyclopedia'': [[Amanomiya Koyoi]].
