Definately a hoax. Or the creater mixes up a recently created manga and game character with a traditional Yōkai. I'm a ja editor, but have never heard of the creature. There is no Madara in this list and there is no entry in ja Wikipedia except a manga/game character. Furthermore, no entry at this dtabase Though it's referenced with two published books, I'm afraid it's dubious that they really have Madara descriptions. See also this talk.

- Delete per nom, wasn't sure when I read it, outside my scope but it sounded funny...--Chris (クリス • フィッチ) (talk) 08:34, 7 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Although I'm not as involved with the topic of Japanese folklore/mythology as I used to be, I did at one point in my life read quite a lot on the subject, and this sounds decisively non-traditional to me. I'm not familiar with Naruto canon, but if this topic is important in-world, parts of the article could be merged into an appropriate Naruto-related article.

- I'm finding nothing to substantiate anything in this article, and while like TomorrowTime I'm not as deep into Japanese folklore/mythology as I once was, this does not ring right to me. Delete as unverified and possible hoax. —Quasirandom (talk) 00:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
