Synopsis[edit]

Every week at 5 p.m. an old man in a yellow mask (the kamishibaiya or kamishibai narrator) shows up at a children's playground and tells them ghost stories based on myths and urban legends of Japanese origin. The man tells the stories on the back of his bicycle using a traditional kamishibai (紙芝居, Paper Drama) method and features a new tale each week. In the third season, instead of the old man in a yellow mask and his kamishibai stage, a boy (later revealed to be the kamishibaiya in the form of a child) sits on a playground slide and sings, "Friends on that side, come to this side... Friends on this side, go to that side..." as he draws illustrations of the creatures in the stories. At the end of each episode, the narrator's mask sings the closing song to him, multiplying in number as each episode ends with the final one being worn on the boy's face. As of Season 4, the kamishibaiya returns, telling the stories to children at a playground every 5 p.m., going back to the original format of Seasons 1 and 2 (voice actors are different every episode). In Season 5, the children are not seen playing on the swings. Instead, they gather to the call of the old man in silhouette. In Season 6, the old man tells his stories in a forest instead of a school. A shadow takes the form of the old man then puts on the mask as he introduces the story. In Season 7, the old man tells his stories in a creepy apartment.

Season 2[edit]

No.	Official English title[nb 1] Original Japanese title	Original air date[nb 3]	Refs.
1	"Taro-chan"  (タロちゃん)	July 6, 2014	TBA
A police officer named Hatanaka is to give a traffic safety presentation in a ventriloquism act with a doll named "Taro-chan" at a public assembly. The act begins smoothly enough until the doll's head jams and a talisman falls out. "Taro-chan" convulses; seeming to gain its own consciousness, it begins graphically detailing a bicycle accident, much to Hatanaka's horror. As Hatanaka desperately struggles to remove his hand from the doll, the crowd believes it to be a part of the act. However Hatanaka manages to throw "Taro-chan" down stage where it manages to say that the accident "hurt".
2	"Kitchen" "Daidokoro" (台所)	July 13, 2014	TBA
A university student is invited to her friend's apartment for dinner. As they wait for the pasta to cook, they converse at the dining table. As dusk falls, the student gets the feeling she's being watched. She looks closely at the air conditioner; she hears a man's sigh and an eye suddenly appears, looking at her. The electricity suddenly goes out, which her friend casually mentions is a common occurrence, and nothing to worry about. The two then sit down to dinner. From the corner of her eye, the student sees a black mass with two eyes climbing out of the kitchen sink and moving towards them. The student is too frightened to eat, prompting her friend to angrily accuse her of disliking the food. The student struggles over what to make of the black mass and why her friend cannot see it. The black mass begins to envelope her friend; she implores her friend to escape, but she cannot be convinced, and the black mass devours her. The student flees to nearby hill, and sees the black mass expanding out of the apartment building and overshadowing her. The screen cuts to black, and the student screams. The story ends with a pair of eyes popping out of the blackness.
3	"Inside" "Nakami" (中身)	July 20, 2014	TBA
A boy comes home holding a Matryoshka he'd found. His mother insists that it's dirty, and proceeds to take it outside to throw away. By the time the boy's father comes home, his mother still hasn't returned; the father assumes that she's gone to the market, but the boy notices her purse and handbag are untouched. Later that night, his mother returns, holding the doll and speaking monotonously. Some days later, the boy hears his mother crying downstairs and rushes to her, only to find her sitting next to the doll, monotonously insisting that nothing is wrong. The boy goes back upstairs, as his mother laughs; his father dismisses it as her being fully engrossed in a TV show. One night, as his mother bathes, the boy quietly retrieves the doll, then removes the top layer; the next doll has a different emotion painted on its face. Successive layers hold other emotions, until he uncovers an unfinished layer with a ghastly smile messily drawn in red pen lines. The boy opens it, and the screen cuts to black, accompanied by a loud mix of voices laughing, crying, shouting, and screaming. Upon hearing the cacophony, the father charges into the bathroom to find the mother and son standing side by side with their backs to the door. The boy responds to the father monotonously, and the doll is back to normal.
4	"Wall Woman" "Kabe On'na" (壁女)	July 27, 2014	TBA
A young university student taking a break from his studies stares out the window dreamily at a beautiful young woman across the street, as she hangs her laundry on her balcony. When she goes back inside, the student prepares to return to his studies, only to witness a shadow scale the wall of the woman's building in a strange cat-like pose and disappear through her balcony door. A moment later, the woman reappears in the student's view and painfully contorts into the shadow's cat-like pose, and suddenly turns her attention toward the student with a distorted face. He hides to evade her stare, and carefully peers out at the balcony to find that she had disappeared. Soon after, he hears strange scraping noises through his wall and follows them around the apartment to the bathroom. He investigates, finding it empty, but his bedroom window is wide open. He slowly glances around the room, when suddenly, a pale creature with long, gangly, contorted limbs drops from the ceiling and crawls toward him.
5	"Locker" "Rokkā" (ロッカー)	August 3, 2014	TBA
A high school student longs to be noticed by a handsome senior baseball player, yet despairs that she can't tell him how she feels. As she walks home from school one afternoon, she overhears an urban legend about a coin locker in the train station basement; if you place a photo of your beloved into the locker with a doll in it, your wish to be with them will come true. She decides to try it out; picking the locker with her crush's jersey number, she finds a pale, disheveled, old-fashioned doll, holding a small black box. Assuming this to be the doll, she places his photo inside and prays to be with him. The next day, she returns to the basement and opens the locker to find the photo gone. Suddenly, her crush appears, explaining that he wants to try out the locker legend, but is horrified when she mentions the doll. Before he can explain, a dark shadow reaches out of the locker and envelopes him, crushing and contorting his body. The student can only look on in horror as the shadow drags the boy into the locker and slams it shut.
6	"Nao-chan"  (ナオちゃん)	August 10, 2014	TBA
A family living in a small flat plays with shadow puppets on the ceiling as they prepare for bed. When the lights go out, the boy, Takkun, watches as shadows coalesce on the ceiling. Before happily drifting off to sleep, he mumbles "Nao-chan..." Some time later, the woman asks her husband if he knows anyone named "Nao", since Takkun has been calling this name up at the ceiling at night, but to no avail. Takkun tries to point "Nao-chan" out, but his parents see only an ordinary ceiling, prompting the father to think he just wants to play with shadow puppets. After lights-out, Takkun calls out to Nao-chan, but this time, a ghostly distorted, sad-looking face appears on the ceiling. The face approaches Takkun's mother... The next morning, she awakens and remembers Nao as being a college friend of her husband's, who died alone shortly after contacting them. The narrator explains that this friend was responsible for Takkun's parents' marriage. A few months later, another baby boy is born who resembles the ghostly figure; a baby they name Nao-chan.
7	"Capsule Toy Machine" "Gatcha" (ガチャ)	August 17, 2014	TBA
A business man walks home one night after a bad day at work, when he notices an old man in a graying suit huddled over a capsule toy machine, with many empty capsules strewn about on the ground. A bit disturbed, he moves on toward home. The next afternoon, after another hard day, the man passes by the capsule machine again and decides to give it a try. When he opens the capsule, he finds a favorite eraser that he lost as a child, and his hair starts turning white and falling out. He marvels at the objects that appear in the capsules; a dog figurine of his childhood pet, a girl figurine of an old crush. Meanwhile, he ages faster and faster, with each turn of the machine's crank. More of his hair falls out, as do his teeth, and his skin wrinkles. He is so deeply engrossed in the capsule machine that he doesn't notice another business man passing by behind him, deeply disturbed by the scene. He collapses as he buys his last capsule. The next day, the passing businessman stops by the machine...
8	"Farewell Confessional" "Kokubetsu" (告別)	August 24, 2014	TBA

The man bows, whispers that he impregnated the deceased's wife during an affair, bows with his finger to his lips, then returns to the lobby. A young woman follows suit; she broke a branch on his plum tree. Noticing Ken's confusion, an aunt (?) explains that this kind of funeral is a "Farewell Confessional", where mourners confess to the deceased something they could not tell them in life, so that their sin can be absolved. She then promptly urges him into the other room. Not having seen his dead uncle (?) in some years, Ken is at a loss for a secret to confess. Finally, he hesitantly confesses to accidentally killing the deceased's dog. Upon doing so, a sudden gust blows the corpse's face shroud upward and extinguishes the candles. After concluding that it was just the wind, Ken prepares to leave the room... until the dead uncle sits up and angrily asks, "IS THAT TRUE?!..."

A young school teacher named Asako moves from Tokyo to work in the countryside. One day, at lunchtime, they all excitedly clamor around a dish they call "Ominie-san", a strange purple mass that gives off black fumes. The students wolf it down hungrily with a strange crunching sound, but Asako collects it in a plastic bag and slips it into her purse. Later that afternoon, she sneaks the bag into the basement to toss it into the furnace, when it starts squirming! She tosses it into the furnace in a hurry. En route home, she stops at a small restaurant for dinner, where she overhears two men order "Ominie-san", mentioning a need to keep up their strength, and stops dead in her tracks. Nauseated by the sight of them eating it, she hurriedly pays and leaves. The next day, she calls into work sick. Her aunt wakes her up for dinner, which she eats with enthusiasm. Her aunt admonishes her to keep up her strength and says that, because she couldn't eat "it" at school, she mixed "it" with vegetables to make it more palatable, "it" being "Ominie-san". Initially shocked by the deceit, Asako begins salivating at the sight of the pot, and charges at the stove. The episode ends with crunching sounds.
10	"Bugged" "Mushitsuba" (虫唾)	September 7, 2014	TBA
One midsummer night, a man complains about his boss in his diary, when he hears a loud mosquito-like buzzing noise. He looks up, but he finds no bugs. A few days later, his workplace complaints intensify in his diary. The buzzing returns, which stops again when he glances up. He lights a mosquito coil and resumes writing. A few days after that, his diary complaints about the rain are interrupted by a pair of moths flittering near the ceiling light. Out of spite, he kills them with spray and sets them on fire in his ashtray, finding it oddly satisfying. About a week (?) later, he writes about everything annoying him lately, including the incessant insect buzzing and his skin itching. He looks in the mirror and finds himself looking extremely disheveled... and that he has maggots crawling out from under his eyelids. He hallucinates about writing in his diary; his "writing" becomes increasingly less coherent and more violent. Eventually, his room becomes a big mess, and he is dead at his desk; his head appears as though it had exploded. An insect peaks its head out of his open mouth. His last diary entry- a messily-scrawled "Help me..."

The next day, Haga receives a call informing him that the manuscript won the award, and asking to confirm that he'd actually written it; Haga lies and affirms. He arrives at the Awards ceremony, where the host asks one last time to confirm that he had written the novel. As the ceremony begins, Haga notices the audience's sullen demeanor. The moment he walks up on stage, he sees the audience and the host have become bare, deformed skeletons clapping their hands. The curtain opens behind him, revealing a swirling vortex. Horrified, he confesses that he didn't actually write the novel, and the auditorium falls silent. But the host reminds him that he'd already definitively confirmed his authorship. He is then dragged into the vortex by skeletal hands, shouting "I'm sorry!" as the curtain slowly falls.
12	"Netsuke"  (根付)	September 21, 2014	TBA
A college student named Kaoru is helping to clean her grandmother's shop when she notices a strange box in a cabinet. Her grandmother explains that it contains a pair of netsuke that even her husband never allowed her to touch. She opens the box; the netsuke are of matching faces, and she fashions them into earrings. That afternoon, as she waits for a train, she hears a distant whisper "Give it back". Finding no one trying to get her attention, she dismisses it as her imagination. As she takes an evening stroll, two shadowy figures in traditional clothing stare at her from across the river. She hears the whisper again, "Give it back". The figures follow her along the river, until a bus arrives and blocks them from view; Kaoru takes the opportunity to duck into a nearby alleyway. When she looks to see if the coast is clear, the figures are rounding the corner towards her, shouting "GIVE IT BACK!" She flees toward a bus coming to a stop ahead of her, when she notices that the netsuke were the ones whispering; they now say "Give back my face!" The figures swipe at her shoulder, knocking one of the netsuke off of its earring and shattering it on the ground. She reaches the bus and turns back to see the figures stopped to pick up the fragments. Moments later, at the shop, Kaoru tries to give the remaining netsuke back to her grandmother, who mentions a visitor had come for her earlier, and then notices the visitor at the door. Kaoru turns around and sees someone in traditional clothes... with hollow eyes and a shattered face...
13	"Bringer Drums" "Yadorikiko" (寄鼓)	September 28, 2014	TBA
A young married couple arrives at the outskirts of their new town in the country, when the wife finds a small red Japanese pellet drum with its handle planted into the ground. When they arrive in town proper, they find two lines of pellet drums with their handles planted into the ground, leading up to their new house. Though the townspeople allegedly don't like city people, the town elder greets them warmly and offers a tour. During the tour, the wife asks about the drums; the elder explains that they are lined up to newcomers' homes as a town tradition, to bring them good luck. The couple is then led to a temple enshrining the town's protector god (perhaps a Jizo statue), who will allegedly follow the drums to visit the newcomers. That night, the couple settles in for bed. The wife wakes up upon hearing a strange distant noise; the pellet drums are playing on their own, and she hears babies crying. She tries to wake her husband, to no avail. The sounds get closer and louder, then suddenly stop. The husband stirs; his skin turns ghastly pale, and he wails in a distorted infant cry that echoes through the valley. Lights turn on in town, in the distance, but suddenly turn off as the crying continues and becomes more childlike.
