Description Kunekune- kinda like the Japanese version of the Slenderman, I kinda redesigned it based on these creepy ghost enemies from Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven.
I made the Kunekune into these paper-scarecrow entities that are found in the woods and on farmlands in the dead of night, and even appear in cemeteries. They could be corrupted charms and Buddhist prayers against demons and spirits, that have been perverted by evil forces and possessed to become demons themselves. What was made to ward off demons from sacred grounds have been twisted and filled with so much evil that even looking at one of these paper ghosts for an extended time would rapidly begin to drain health and maybe even induce insanity. They attack if you get close, but prefer to remain stationary and in view to basically mess with the player. Either kill them or avoid them altogether.

Nohmen- these are possibly either corpses or life-size dolls with Noh masks on them, that glide eerily towards the player in groups, giggling or sighing, as merely touching them would be enough to take away some health. There is a Japanese legend that goes with the Noh mask, that says sometimes evil, parasite-like spirits could live in the mask and feed off of the negative energy of a person, giving the person an irresistible urge to continue wearing it, until the person is turned into a rotting pile of bones and flesh. Then the mask will seek a new host. So it is unclear if the Nohmen are victims of the masks themselves, or another entity....or person..
