The Hainu is a Yokai found in Japan. The Hainu is described as a dog with brown fur and wings. The Hainu is said to be very dangerous and aggressive unless it gets tamed then it becomes very loving and loyal. The Hainu is said to be buried under a stone monument in the city of Chikugo in Fukuoka Japan by the railroad station. The monument is called Hainutsuka which means “Winged-Dog Mound” and it is said that the Hainu has been there since 1587 when Toyotomi Hideyoshi had to slay the Hainu because it was too aggressive however he respected the Hainu and made the monument for it. In another version the Hainu was Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s pet and died of natural causes.
