A Yuki-onna (雪女) is the Japanese word for snow woman. They are a spirit or a youkai, associated with winter and snowstorms. It is said in some legends to be the spirit of an individual who has perished in the snow and cold. Yuki-onna are often described wearing a white kimono (or any clothes resembling such), or naked, with only their hair and face standing out. Despite their inhuman beauty, they are hostile to humans and kill them unsuspectingly.
