Ookamuro
There are lots of giant head Yokai out there (Remember Spirited Away?), but Ookamuro is a new(ish) invention, based on classic art of a Tanuki trick – a mischievous Tanuki who transforms himself into a gigantic raccoon-dog head just to freak people out. But Ookamuro has taken on a life of his own, and even has a statue dedicated to him (granted, all of Mizuki’s creations have those – it’s a testament to his cultural impact that he has miles and miles of monuments along a historic roadway).
