Kunekune (urban legend)

Uncommon card · No. 122356

In modern Japanese folklore, the Kunekune (くねくね; 'wriggling body') is a fictional being typically described as having a slender, white, paper (or fabric-like) humanoid shape, which is usually said to appear in fields on hot summer days. The story originated on the Internet as a Japanese urban legend, being first mentioned on websites in 2001. Its name, Kunekune, is derived from its alleged behavior of wiggling its limbs. The Kunekune may be explained by people being confused by the appearance of scarecrows or wick drains.
