Despite the wrong name, this is a thread talking about the comparison of Naruto to most actual Japanese culture.
Orochi- a five-headed snake monster They were a little off on that.
Kyubi- a nine-tailed fox
Gaara's possession is by a spirit similar to a Racoon...called a Tanutubi, I believe (has to go check on that last one)
I have yet to figure out anything about the Giant Frog.
Ideas?
