Yokai-Den: Legends of Yokai is a Japanese trading card game released in July 1997 by Yanoman, a publisher known for puzzles and hobby products. The game draws on the art of Shigeru Mizuki, the legendary manga artist responsible for GeGeGe no Kitaro and widely considered the pre-eminent chronicler of Japanese yokai folklore. Cards feature individual yokai characters rendered in Mizuki's distinctive illustration style, making the set as much a collectible art artifact as a game product. Characters documented on surviving cards include Yobuko, Ijiko, Mame-Danuki, Ayakashi, Chomen-Yojo, Kudan, Kameosa, and many others drawn directly from Mizuki's encyclopedic yokai catalogs. The game was released before the modern CCG boom fully took hold in Japan, and detailed rule documentation has not survived prominently in online sources. Individual cards continue to surface in collector markets, attesting to the game's physical durability if not its widespread documentation.
