The mintuci (Ainu ミントゥチ; also mintuci kamuy, also transliterated into Japanese as mintsuchi (ミンツチ)) is a water sprite or an aquatic supernatural creature, a half-man-half-beast, told in stories of Ainu mythology and folklore. It is also considered a variant of the kappa and, therefore, a type of yōkai.
