Takayama Torakichi (Japanese: 高山 寅吉, fl. 1806–1859) was a Japanese street urchin who became known in early 19th century Edo for claiming that he had returned from the other world (幽り世, kakuriyo) and received training in the ways of the tengu.[1] He was sometimes called tengu kozō (天狗小僧, transl. tengu kid).
