Tochika

Nice to meet you! I'm Tochika, a writer from Japan.

I write my stories in Japanese and use ChatGPT for translation and illustrations.
I’m fascinated by Japanese folklore—especially yokai (supernatural beings), ghosts, and other mysterious presences known as kaii.
They often appear in my stories, and I sometimes add short notes to make them easier to understand.

Most of my works are gentle, slice-of-life tales set around haunted or abandoned places—showing quiet, heartwarming moments between kind and sometimes ghostly characters.

Some short stories take a different tone—mysterious, unsettling, or emotionally strange.
I mark those clearly in the tags or description.

I update every Tuesday and Friday at 8 PM (PST/PDT).

If you enjoy calm supernatural stories with a Japanese touch, I hope you’ll find something to love here.
Thank you for reading!

    *In the STONE*

    How long have I been here? I repeat the same unanswered question again today. The people of the human village who warmly welcomed me, though I was not human. There was certainly a friendship that transcended race. One day, as I was reminiscing about those happy days, it came without war...

    Laughing as she said, “I got tickets for a resort hotel,” Yuka invited her along, and Misaki set out on the trip, reluctant though she was. A seaside hotel, white sand beaches, a calm restaurant—. A little luxurious, slightly out of place, and yet, for some reason, time passed in a way that wou...

    LOOKING, but not SEEING
