Akusara

Akusara is a supernatural figure from Japanese urban legends, similar to Kuchisake-Onna or Hasshaku-Sama. Her origin is unknown, but she’s known to appear before men she likes. She is described as standing over two meters tall, with long hair, wearing a red coat and a broad-brimmed red hat. Her left arm is covered in scars, she has no eyes, and her mouth is a grin seemingly cut from ear to ear. She commonly peeks over fences, and those who see her often face a death curse.
