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!

    LOOKING, but not SEEING

    A girl smiling and flashing a peace sign. A girl beside her, trembling in fear. All around them, countless paranormal phenomena. It was an excessively embellished paranormal photograph. Everyone was looking. However, almost no one could see “a certain truth.” And the photograph— woul...

    Sweet and—

    In the forest, a sweet smell suddenly drifted through the air. As if guided by that scent, Sayuri stepped forward. The monk who gave her a mysterious necklace, and the girl in the white dress she encountered. She was sure her name had been called, yet the words would not come out properly....

    3.3.3.SAN

    When I was a child, I could find no joy in eating, and because of my poverty, I was also made a target of bullying. The lunchboxes I ate as if hiding were always bland and lonely. But a chance encounter changed my life completely. An encounter with the one and only best friend who stood by m...

    Rest assured, it’s safe to eat

    The man opened his new restaurant. He wanted to see his customers’ surprise and joy up close— that was all. Mass appeal and profitability did not matter. He would welcome his customers with the food he wanted to make. Six months. That was the time limit he set for himself. The man’...

    Like Water

    In an abandoned house where supernatural beings gathered, a woman wearing a fox mask was simply drinking alcohol. It started with a livestream she had been asked to do by a friend. Misaki herself was supposed to be nothing more than “the one who drinks” — or so it was meant to be. But before...

    One Summer Day at That Resort

    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...
