Tublappa

is a Rank D Lightning-attribute Classic Yo-kai of the Brave tribe.

His Medallium bio states "A Yo-kai who appears in bathrooms and outhouses, he enjoys nothing more than licking dirty tubs."

Appearance
A red skinned creature with yellow and turuqoise eyes. It has bushy, grass-green hair and a very long indigo tongue. It carries around a pale brown and gray bucket made from barrel wood that is covered with dark purple stains.

Abilities and Powers
Those inspirited by Tublappa suddenly develop an irresistible urge for licking things, with their tongue having the same appearance as his own.

Origin
Tublappa is based on the youkai named the, which means "filth licker". It appears as a small, oily humanoid monster with shaggy hair, red skin, single-toed feet and a long tongue. This creature is attracted by dirty bathrooms, and will sneak inside at night to lick every surface clean, only to bolt if someone comes in or turns the light on, much like a cockroach. Because of its foul habits, the Akaname can spread diseases in its wake, thus people are advised to keep their bathrooms clean, especially the bathtub, lest they receive a visit from this rather uncouth youkai.


 * Name Origin
 * "Tublappa" is a corruption of "Tub lapper", which draws reference to what an Akaname likes to do; lap the filth off of tubs.
