Kuchisake-Onna
Kuchisake-Onna is the legend of a Japanese woman, mutilated by her jealous samurai husband who murdered her for infidelity scarring her horribly and leaving her repulsive.
Her jealous Ghost still haunts places in Japan, usually on foggy nights, wearing a surgical mask when she will approach people and ask shyly: “Watashi kirei?” (Am i beautiful?) The person usually responds, yes.
She then pulls down her mask to reveal an ear to ear grin, cut by her jealous husband to mar her for her life. “Even like this?” she will persist. If you answer no. She will take a pair of scissors, and cut the same gruesome smile into your own face. If you answer yes, she will disappear, and the second you go home will reappear at your door and finish the job.
The only way of confusing Kuchisake-Onna is to say: You are average, which will confuse this mysterious Onryo. Or to present her with hard amber candy, or say ‘Pomade’ six times will shall make her flee.
She has been seen from the 1970′s til the early 2000′s, often seen lurking near children whose innocent answer of yes when asked if she is ugly, will lead to their deaths.
Shouldn’t it be “Watashi wa kirei desuka”? u__u or just “Kirei desuka” since most of the time pronouns aren’t really required in Japanese. “Watashi kirei” would basically be saying “I pretty”
Sorry to be a grammar nazi, but that just sorta bothered me
I have a certificate in Japanese. “Desu ka” is only used when speaking formally, which Kuchisake Onna doesn’t. Also, it’s common for particles such as “wa” to be dropped in Japanese when speaking informally.
Kuchisake Onna is my favourite ghost. I did a poster on her in Japanese 30. <3 But this story isn’t very accurate. =/ I’m pretty sure I saw this on /x/ too.
@ comment #2
Yeah, this story was pulled from /x/ – I’d love to hear the more accurate version if you feel like telling me!
Bleh, I meant Japanese 20, not 30. *Killed*
Sure, I’d love to tell you. xD I’m not a good writer, but I guess all I need to do is explain her, right?
Yeah, it doesn’t necessarily have to be in “creepypasta” form… I just want to know for my own curiosity, really. If you don’t feel like commenting it here, my email is admin AT creepypasta DOT com =)
needs more desu
Dude, you have no such “certificate”. The Japanese don’t drop subject particles in informal speech, and they definitely don’t drop verbs. The subject itself may be dropped entirely, by other than that, that sentence wasn’t very accurate.
Wait. Before I go home, this is important. Which side of my door does the bitch appear on?
Is this a true story??
@comment #7
In informal speech, often subject particles are dropped, though you’re right in that they are usually dropped with the subject as a whole. On the other hand, if they are asking a question, as in this particular case, the wa particle can be dropped.
@comment #1 – desu ka isn’t needed in this case – kirei will be in a rising intonation, implying that she’s asking a question.
私きれい??

どうやってウェッブをですですですですですですですですですですですですですです？
I remember in 6th grade my friend told me a story like this. But instead of her husband cutting her mouth it was a plastic surgeon who did that by accident.
The guy is right, saying “Watashi kirei” with “kirei” being on a higher intonation gives the meaning of “desu ka”. It’s like saying “hey Dan, you here?” instead of “Hey Dan are you in here?”
The plastic surgeon background for kuchisake-onna is one of the more modern versions. Kuchisake-onna is a tale older than the 1970s, but it sort of resurfaced. In modern versions it’s usually said that it was due to bad plastic surgery or due to a car wreck or something like that, something that would make sense in modern times.

I have the movie
ですですですですですですですですですですですですですです for great justice.

Why so serious?
that sounds kinda like the grudge.
Lolz. So that’s really how the Joker got his scars.
y so serious?
Those folish humans have no respect for us paranormal being anymore,i miss the good old times,dont you Kuchisake-onna.
Spellings a bit off there ‘candeljack’
Won’t catch anyone out with mispellings!
This is retarded. I hate copypastas that have a set of instructions like “you must do this and this, then this happens.”
@Wiseman
So here’s a thought: avoid the “Rites & Rituals” category. There’s a reason I have them organized in such a way, so people can focus on their favorite types.
Or, you know, just keep wasting your time and mine by leaving stupid comments whining about pastas you apparently have no reason to keep reading. What do you expect me to do, get rid of one of the more popular pastas just because you’re a special snowflake who didn’t like it?
Y SO SRS?
Ive read a different version which is more clear and interesting than this one
Why so serious?
Let’s put a smi… Oh, nevermind I see you’ve been taken care of…
This is a movie plot. A really terrible movie.
i agree rekkusu
sum lonely bitch wandering around…’am i pretty?…no?…okies, i kill you.’
get over urself u ugly hag!
just cuz ur husband went edward scissorhands/glasgow smile happy on ur ass doesn’t mean u hav to go whining and killing ppl
go to hell!!! -banishes kuchisake-onna to the gap between dimensions-
D=
that is all
btw…author person
at first it says her husband is jealous…then it sez she has a jealous ghost…><
also…[god sorry for all these posts]
1.what if i say no in the first place?…damn cunt!
2. what if i grab the scissors and cut the rest of her up
3. wonder what happened to her samurai husband…
jeezum clam down >.<
What answer can I give that lets me have sex with her?
smiles creep me out so…but what’s up with the pomade part?and why 6 times?!other than that good pasta
You know, aside from the initial “holy !!!!” reaction, she really doesn’t look that bad.
Wanna know how these scars?
Well I was in Japan…
Wanna know how I got these scars?
Well I was in Japan…
She’s the Joker. Obviously.
私は電話だった
Did I ever tell you how I got this scar…?
My father was a drunkard…and a fiend…
And one day while he was beating mommy…she got a knife….And he didn’t like that. Not. One. Bit-UH.
any way i can distract her long enough to dispose of the scissors and bang her? then again, probably not worth it if her other orifices are just as wide.
私は美しいか。 私は美しいか。 私は美しいか。
I read this on Wikipedia…it wasn’t scary there, and it wasn’t scary here.
The part about the amber thing wasn’t on Wikipedia either…O.o
Hm… Why so serious, Kuchisake-Onna ?
53: Well said.
As for the story…I really enjoyed it. THere could have been more ripping…but this pasta appeases Jack.
I saw this story at least 10 years ago.
But the story seem to date much further back, placing her in feudal era Japan.
Originally she was a very beautiful daughter of a rich merchant and was to be wedded to her love.
On her wedding night, when she was alone, she got possessed by a kitsune(fox spirit) which disfigure her face.
The husband came in and was scare shitless and together with the whole family chase her out the village.
Over time her grief become a grudge, thus resorting murderous tricks.
This pasta suuuucks. It has no point, and the delivery is so messy. Why, if her husband was a samurai, does she wear a surgical mask? Aren’t those two very different time periods? And why does she speak in broken, casual Japanese when she should be trying to flatter the person in any way possible to get them to tell her she’s pretty? Wouldn’t that make her want to talk to the person as if they were her superior?
God, this pasta sucks. Why the hell is it in the popular pastas column?
“You wanna know how I got these scars?”
WUT IF I MOVED?!
@ 57
OLD JOKE IS OLD.
OMG PEDOPHILE
ITS A MOVIE. Dumbnuts.
“The Slit-Mouthed Woman”
Youtube it.
why so serious?
They made a movie on this, its called Carved if anyone wants to watch it. Actually I have the movie, its ok.
What, don’t they have any plastic surgeons in the afterlife?
iM JuSt a fAn oF KuChiSaKe-OnNa I LoVe hEr!!!
kUcHiSaKe-OnNa iF YoU DoN’T KiLl Me kAn i hAvE a hUg???
“Carved” it’s a great movie…for what it was trying to tell…I like the urban legend of her better than the story they gave her in the movie…”Carved 2″ is supposed to be soon…but I dunno…
Go rent it if you can find it…and watch it in original japanese please…even though the subtitles aren’t the greatest of translations!
I’ve heard this one before and the recollection makes me grin from ear to ear.
the verson I know is she was bucherd by a doctor who wore Pomade in his hair thats why saying it 6 times works
I read about this story on Shojo Beat.
Holy shit, i was the author of this back on /x/…
well,fuck me with a rusty spoon and call me larry…
fuck all niggers
japs are faggots 0/10 bitch
There would technically be a \"wa\" and a \"desuka\" in there because \"watashi kirei\" means literally \"I beautiful\".
So you would have to say \"Watashi wa kirei desu ka\" because otherwise the sentence does not make sense.
the story like this one is called the slit mouth woman or something like that and samaris dont do that kinda shit
Some inaccuracies.
And I think that one is supposed to /throw/ the candy. Never heard the Pomade thing before though.
What if you say that she is beautiful when she asks “even like this?”
