The Tengu is a jew, the Japanese think so there's a whole Japanese documentary made that was talking about how the Tengu were probably jews. . The Tengu even have a scroll called "tora scoll" (as in torah scroll). . If the Japanese think Tengus are jews whats to say the Nigawarai can't be jews

I'm not saying it isn't, just that it could be coincidence given the sheer volume of yokai.
The resemblance to modern caricatures of Jews is pretty uncanny though.
Turns out those "antisemitic caricatures" were more proto-memes than anything
