Basically Japan has three legendary Yokai.

The Kyubi-no-Kitsune, a fox that has lived for over a thousand years with nine tails, making it a great and powerful sorceress. It's been known by names such as Kuzunoha, Tamamo-no-Mae, Daji, Lady Koi. The Sessho-seki stone in Nikko National Park was said to be its prison. Incidentally that broke recently. But she's. Like the basis for every scheming woman in a political drama ever.

Shuten-Doji, is the drunken lord of the Oni, Japan's ogres. Said to dwell in Mount Ooe, Mt. Ibuki or the island Onigashima. As one of the few with a name, he's considered to possibly be the origin point of the concept.

The last is Ootakemaru, a Yokai of unclear description, who name means basically "The Great Mountain". Tengu are associated with Mountain Hermits and Monks.
