And, in the first print by Kuniyoshi, there seems to be a blue spot visible on top of his head as well. Does anyone know if a "kappa dent" is a feature of Kintaro in any of the Japanese legends about him?

Obwohl die Figur “Kintarō” (ein tapferer Junge, der mit Superkräften gesegnet ist) auf einer realen Person aus der Heian-Periode basiert, ist sie immer noch eine Ikone in der japanischen Pop-Kultur. Toll! [...] […] Hier gibt es uralte japanischen Illustrationen zu sehen!
