... that in Ainu mythology it is believed that a gigantic octopus god lives in Uchiura Bay? Source: "Akkorokamui is a gigantic octopus god which resides in Hokkaido’s Uchiura Bay....In Ainu folklore, Akkorokamui is both revered and feared as a water deity, specifically as the lord of Uchiura Bay."

Overall: Nice read, the article has potential for further expansion. There are some redundant passages related to toponymy. The cited sources are mostly okay; I had to use DeepL to translate Japanese websites and documents. One of the cited sources is a discussion forum however the website and the responder sound authoritative. No copyvios detected. The image is admissible although engaging. The hook is cited from a Japanese folk website. The hook is corroborated here QPQ done. Well done ~ Elias Z. (talkallam) 09:31, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
