The Hibagon is a mythical Japanese hominid and is described as a "black creature with white hands and large white feet, standing about five feet tall."[citation needed]
Sightings have been reported in "forested, mountainous areas of the country," [1] around Mount Hiba[citation needed] in the Hiroshima Prefecture[citation needed] and has been said to resemble a gorilla.[2]
"The Hibagon has a snub nose, large deep glaring eyes and is covered with bristles. Theories to account for this cryptid range from a gorilla, a wild man, or a deserter from the Japanese army, to an individual ravaged by atomic radiation from the nuclear attack on Hiroshima."[citation needed]A sighting from 1972 reports that the creature "has a chocolate brown face and is covered with brown hair ... [and] is said to have 'deep glaring eyes', in two reports by a Mr. Sazawa and a Mrs. Harada, the creature took no hostile action and fled from four armed residents intent on hunting it."[citation needed]
Japanese Boy Scouts, "claim to find footprints 25 cm (10 in) long and 15 cm (6 in) wide."[citation needed]
As with "most hominid cryptids, the Hibagon is said to have a most unpleasant stench, like a decomposing human body."[3][4]
