The Bake-kujira (Japanese: 化鯨, ghost whale)[a] is a mythical Japanese yōkai (ghost, phantom, or strange apparition) from western Japan.
It is described as being a skeleton whale that is accompanied by unknown fish and weird birds.
[1][2] It takes its revenge against people who hunt whales or eat whale meat,[1][3] and does so by cursing them with plagues and fire.
[4] It is also known as Hone Kujira (骨鯨, bone whale).
