Hasshaku-sama
Height: 240cm (8 feet)
Hasshaku-sama is one of the internet's most iconic creepypasta characters—a tall, impossibly pale ghost woman who's become a staple of Japanese horror folklore online. Her whole thing is the unsettling contrast between her beautiful, almost seductive appearance and the predatory threat she represents.
She's typically described as wearing a long white dress and hat, with long black hair and pale skin. The most distinctive part of her design is probably her height—at eight feet tall, she's unnaturally, wrongly proportioned in a way that makes her presence feel off even before you realize what she is. Fans often note that her appearance is deliberately designed to lure in young boys, usually between nine and eleven years old, using her attractive features as bait before revealing her true nature.
What really gets people is her voice. Depending on the version of the story, she either has a deep or unusually high-pitched mature voice, and she's known for constantly repeating the interjection "po" (ぽ) in an unsettling way that's become iconic to her character. That repetitive vocalization is what a lot of people remember most vividly about encounters with her in various retellings.
She's basically the Japanese internet's answer to the seductive monster archetype—beautiful on the surface, predatory underneath.
