* DawsonCasting: The 2007 live-action movie went out of its way to simulate the look of the 1980s anime version, except that Kitaro and Neko-Musume were played by adults. This was "justified" in-story as them having hit puberty without the older yōkai having noticed, but the actors were still clearly older than the age their characters were. Also BeautyEqualsGoodness; the ButNotTooForeign actor playing Kitaro was {{Bishonen}} instead of short and creepy looking.

Ever wonder why there are so many tales nowadays? And ever wonder why Kitaro gets an occasional mention or cameo? You can thank this franchise for that.
