From publisher blurb:

Player Character Races from Legendary Japan

Yokai is a Japanese term that means a spirit or monster. It refers to a diverse number of supernatural creatures which could variously be described as ghosts, devils, ogres, and genies, and other monsters. The races in this book are either partly humanoid, or have characteristics in common with other humanoid creatures. They are somewhat otherworldly, but have recognizable similarities to beings of the world of mortals.
The yokai are an ever-changing group of creatures. Some date back to the folk tales of ancient Japan, while others have been conceived in recent decades. Yokai are a part of popular culture, including games, manga, and anime, taking on forms both new and traditional.

This book contains:

Hengeyokai - magical animals that take on human form
Kodama-hanyou - mortal descendents of woodland spirits
Korobokkuru - secretive and short in stature, but stalwart
Obake-hanyou - scions of a shapechanging bloodline
Oni-hanyou - children of the oni
Suijin-hanyou - descendents of great water spirits
