Mizuki, Shigeru (2004). Mujara 5: Tōhoku, Kyūshū-hen. Japan: Soft Garage. p. 79. ASIN 4861330270.
Kaii-Yōkai Denshō Database: Isonade
Bakebake Zukan: Isonade
Dictionary of Pandaemonium: Isonade
Yōkai Jiten

Considering other editors are saying this isn't even real Japanese folklore, trying to track down the pages these broken links lead to seems sort of like a waste of time. If anyone has any real information on this subject that wasn't created on a forum-page, that would be wonderful. Cheers. Duende-Poetry (talk) 13:31, 7 December 2011 (UTC)Reply

Is This Really Japanese Folklore? edit

PLEASE DO NOT ADD INFORMATION FROM NARUTO FAN-BOARDS TO THIS PAGE. "The Legend of the Tailed-Beasts" is in fact an example of fakelore created by anime fans, and the isonade of Japanese folklore does not have three tails. Thank you. Kotengu 01:42, 17 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

So now that the story of Naruto has proven the 3-tailed beast was a turtle and not the Isonade here, should we still refer to Isonade as a bijuu, seeing the term seems to be linked more to Naruto?

Dude, the isonade is a creature from Japanese folklore. Please don't put Naruto stuff in these articles. If you really have to spread Naruto information, you should create a new article called "Isonade (Naruto character)" or something like that. Shikino 06:28, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Isonade doesn't even exist in Naruto, is the best part. It all started when somebody on a Naruto forum translated some kid's fictional ramblings about "tailed beasts" from Chinese into English and touted it as REAL BONAFIDE ANCIENT LEGEND THAT KISHIMOTO IS BASING HIS STORY ON. There are three pages worth of drawings of the bogus five-tailed "houkou" on deviantart, even. It's all a sad mess. Kotengu 07:25, 17 November 2006 (UTC)Reply
