thumb|Daidarabotchi graphic from the Kaidan-Hyakki-Zue. was a gigantic type of yōkai in Japanese mythology, sometimes said to pose as a mountain range when sleeping.
==Mythology== The size of a Daidarabotchi was so great that his footprints were said to have created innumerable lakes and ponds. In one legend, a Daidarabotchi weighed Mount Fuji and Mount Tsukuba to see which was heavier, but he accidentally split Tsukuba's peak after he was finished with it.
