Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories features the enigmatic Storyteller, a masked figure whose name and background remain unknown. He appears at twilight, where children gather, and shares dark tales rooted in Japanese urban legends, which his young audience absorbs eerily. Using a kamishibai, a traditional paper-scrolling device, the Storyteller weaves the lines between reality and the supernatural. His stories often revolve around the concept of kamishibai itself, as seen in the first tale about a bachelor who senses a malevolent presence in his new apartment.
