Kappa (河童) are a species of yōkai in Japanese folklore that resemble turtles. Due to the similarities in appearance, the Ninja Turtles are often confused for kappa, in a running gag that spans multiple universes. Like most demonic entities in Japanese myths, they are not evil by nature. Some are evil, some are simply mischievous, and others are even helpful.
