Notes
Based on the novel by Kiyosi Shigematsu.
The Hinagon is the Japanese equivalent of Bigfoot or Yeti. It is a mountain-dweller, and smaller than most of the cryptic ape varieties, standing at about five feet tall, but with large feet. Sightings have been reported in forested areas of the country, describing a black creature with white feet and hands. It has been reported in the forests around Mount Hiba in Hiroshima Prefecture and said to resemble a gorilla.
