Like a Dragon Gaiden – where to find the kappa

On the north side of the main river that runs through town, you’ll meet a fellow at a bench. He wants you to find the kappa that waits nearby. It’s a test for a tourism idea he has, and there’s a reward on the line if you can make it happen. To find the kappa, you actually just have to check across the river from the man on the bench.

The most difficult part of the How ‘Bout Them Kappas mission is knowing what a kappa even looks like. I had a vague idea that it was some sort of river devil, which a little online research into mythology tells me was pretty close. The kappas featured in Japanese stories made a name for themselves by forcefully drowning children.
