Quoth the Nopperabo:

“I hear there is a game in the west, that the natives there call it ‘Got your Nose’. Would you like to play a game with me friend? I am sure that you will like it.”

Kith Excerpt:

Nopperabo are the No-Faces, a strange family of Bakemono Goblins that has all but been forgotten in the past few centuries. At one time there was the Girl that lived between couch-cushions, or the boy that had two anuses for eye, (or an eye for his anus). Where they went is unknown, perhaps they are still out there?

Now the lonely and sad Nopperabo is all that is left. While the rest of the Shinma serve Heaven and answer the call of the faithful, the No-Faces try to scare grandmothers out of their eye-color.

Despite the world passing them by, they still have a fatalistic determination that is both endearing and disarming. They know that their struggle is futile, and they know that their Kwannon-Jin will probably not make it to see the next age. They know these things, but still go out to shock the Asian population to the best of their ability.

Luckily, recent media has portrayed them in some new light. Anime and manga has given new life to the term No-Face (although Nopperabo isn’t common lexicon just yet). Many Asian youths frequent Comic-bookstores where they discuss their famous Japanese Yokei and No-Faces are always on the list. This doesn’t give the Nopperabo’s hope that they will live to see the next turn of the wheel of the Ages, however, but they are still happy to have their 15-minutes of fame.
