?Nurikabe is one of the Yokai, who will sneak into someone's house while they are away, drink their tea, and act as if it is their own house. Because it looks human, anyone who sees him will mistake him for the owner of the house, making it very hard to expel him.
You can also find it in Japanese comic/anime such as "GeGeGe no Kitaro". This one is located inside the Kitaro Chaya (Tea House) in Jindaiji. You will find more "Yokai"s here!
