Kappa vs Kimono
This lady is risking more than looking cheesy by posing with a Kappa water imp.
In Japanese lore, Kappa are well-known as mischief-makers who love pulling pranks such as passing gas and looking up women’s kimonos (as well as their more interesting eating habit of sucking out their victims’ shirikodama/life force, entrails, or liver through their anus).
