GX (manga)|''Yu-Gi-Oh! GX'' manga]]. They were used by [[Bastion Misawa (manga)|Bastion Misawa]] and are based on [[Wikipediawikipedia:Yōkai|Yōkai]] creatures from Japanese folklore.

It is unclear how Yokai Monsters are identified in the manga. The Japanese text of "[[Haunted Shrine]]" indicates that they are a [[Type]], like [[Warrior]], [[Dragon]] etc. The Japanese text of "[[Onagakokuba]]" indicates that they are an [[archetype]] like "[[Archfiend]]", "[[Elemental HERO]]" etc. The Japanese text of "[[Mysterious Mysteries]]" indicates they are a type of Monster Card like [[Toon monster|Toon]], [[Tuner monster|Tuner]] etc. For the purposes of this page, they are categorized as an archetype. In the real world ''[[OCG]]'' and ''[[TCG]]'', Yokai Monsters are not directly connected in a gameplay sense, but are all [[EARTH]] [[Zombie]]-Type monsters, except for "[[Goka, the Pyre of Malice]]" which is a [[FIRE]] Zombie-Type monster.
