Tōfu-kozō (Japanese: 豆腐小僧, literally "tofu boy") is a yōkai of Japan that takes on the appearance of a child possessing a tray with tōfu on it. They are generally depicted wearing bamboo and kasa on their heads, and possessing a tray with a momiji-dōfu on it (a tōfu with a momiji (autumn leaf) shape pressed into it). With regards to humans, they sometimes follow humans on rainy nights, but they don't do anything particularly bad, and they usually don't make humans their opponents, and they are frequently depicted as amicable, timid, and humorous characters.
