黒手 "Kurote"
Quite simply a black, hairy hand that reaches out of toilets to caress whomever is doing their business.
The most well-known tale regarding this phenomenon involves a samurai named Kasamatsu Jingobei.
The story goes that after an incident involving the hand surprising his wife, Jingobei drew his katana and entered the bathroom. A little time went by but as he stood over the toilet, an arm gradually rose from the darkness and with it a stroking motion. A single, swift cut of his blade and the hand fell to the floor.
Some time later three yokai disguised as priests came to the Jingobei residence. During their brief visit there was talk of a 'strange presence' in the household and when shown the dismembered hand from earlier one of the priests identified it as a creature named the Kurote that resides in people's toilets.
The last of the three priests finally examined the hand and let out a wicked snarl exclaiming that it belonged to him. In an instant the priest transformed into a huge, black, hairy monster that towered over everyone in the room. The hand was snatched away and all the priests vanished without a trace.

Inktober 2017 day 26: Kurote
A Kurote is a hairy yokai from the Ishikawa Prefecture. It first appears as a hairy black hand coming up from a toilet.
In the Noto Peninsula, a samurai named Kasamatsu Jingobei lived with his wife in a lovely house. His wife went to use the bathroom one day when she was startled by something stroking her butt. She jumped up and ran to tell her husband, who assumed it was merely a tanuki or kitsune playing a trick. He entered the bathroom and drew his katana as he stood over the toilet to look into it. Suddenly, an arm popped out, making a stroking motion. Jingobei quickly swung his sword and cut the hand off, retrieving it and placing it into a box.
A few days later Jingobei was visited by three yokai who disguised themselves as priests. he invited them in, not knowing what they were. The first looked around the house and said, "There is a strange presence here." Realizing what they must be talking about, Jingobei grabbed the box and showed the priests the hand. The second priest explained the hand, "This is the hand of a Kurote—a creature who lives in humans' toilets." The third priest looked at it closely and angrily cried out, "This is MY hand that you cut from my arm!" as he transformed into his true form, a nine-foot tall black-haired beast. He grabbed the hand from the samurai and vanished with the other two priests.
One night, some time after the visit by the yokai, Jingobei was walking home when he was unexpectedly wrapped up by a blanket that fell from the sky upon him. Unable to move, he was lifted into the air and dropped to the ground, dazing him. When he regained his senses, the sword he had used to cut the hand from the Kurote was gone.

Kurote - #黒手 #くろて #Kurote HABITAT: toilets DIET: unknown APPEARANCE: A kurote is a bizarre, hairy yōkai from the Noto peninsula in Ishikawa Prefecture. LEGENDS: Long ago in the province of Noto, there was a samurai named Kasamatsu Jingobei. He lived in a nice house, as was typical of samurai at the time. One day, his wife went to use the bathroom, and something strange happened. While using the toilet, she felt a hand reach up from the darkness and stroke her behind. She told her husband, who suspected the work of a mischievous tanuki or kitsune. Jingobei drew his katana and entered the bathroom. Sure enough, as he stood over the toilet, something moved—an arm, covered in thick, black hair, reached up out of the darkness and began making a stroking motion. With one swing of his sword, Jingobei sliced the hand clean off. He put it into a box. Several days later, three yōkai disguised as priests appeared at Jingobei’s house. Not realizing their true form, Jingobei invited them in. The first priest said, “There is a strange presence in this house…” Jingobei brought out the box and showed them the hand. The second priest said, “This is the hand of a creature known as a kurote who lives in humans’ toilets.” The third priest examined the hand closely and snarled, “This is my hand which you cut from my arm!” He immediately transformed into a 9-foot tall, black-haired monster. He snatched the hand away, and then all three priests vanished. Sometime later, while Jingobei was walking home late at night, something like a quilt fell down from the sky on top of him. Wrapped up and unable to move, Jingobei was lifted up seven feet into the air and then violently slammed to the ground. When he came to, Jingobei noticed that the sword he was carrying on his belt—the one which he used to cut off the kurote’s hand—was missing.
