Play Kitarou Online
You play as a one-eyed yokai kid smacking spirits with a sandal, bouncing between haunted forests and solving weird little puzzles—it’s got that grainy Game Boy charm where nothing takes itself too seriously.
Kitarou is a 1990 Game Boy release from Bandai, arriving early in the system's life. It's an action-adventure game based on the popular GeGeGe no Kitarou manga and anime series, fitting right in with other platformers and exploratory titles of that era.
You control Kitarou, a one-eyed yokai boy, as he ventures through haunted forests and other supernatural locations. Your main objective is to defeat various spirits and monsters, primarily by hitting them with your geta, a traditional wooden sandal. The game progresses screen by screen, with some light puzzle-solving involving switches or finding keys to open paths. The pacing is deliberate, and the difficulty can be unforgiving with limited continues. It feels like a quirky, low-stakes journey through a folktale, made memorable by its oddball charm and straightforward action.
