The Hibagon (ヒバゴン?) or Hinagon (ヒナゴン?) is the Japanese equivalent of the Bigfoot or Yeti. It is a mountain-dweller, and smaller than most of the cryptic ape varieties, standing at about five feet tall, but with large feet. Many sightings have been reported in forested areas of the country, describing a black creature with white feet and hands. [1] It has been reported in the forests around Mount Hiba in Hiroshima Prefecture and said to resemble a gorilla.[2]
This creature was featured in a 2005 movie, Dear Hinagon, directed by Takayoshi Watanabe.
