多田克己 / Tada Katsumi

多田克己 is the real yokai researcher whom 115.京极夏彦今昔续百鬼：不研究妖怪，怎么好好做人？ identifies as the model for [[TataraKatsugoro|多多良胜五郎]]. The episode presents him as a friend of [[KyogokuNatsuhiko|京极夏彦]], a participant in world-yokai organizations and meetings, and a prolific editor or author of yokai reference works.

The page is source-scoped: its role in the wiki is not a full biography, but a bridge between the fictional Tatara and real Evidence-Bound Folklore Inquiry around yokai.

Key Claims

• Tada’s presence helps the episode show that Kyogoku’s yokai material is not ornamental; it is tied to a real research culture around images, names, places, and local stories.
• The fictionalization of Tada into [[TataraKatsugoro|多多良胜五郎]] turns scholarly obsession into a comic but serious narrative engine.

Connections

• [[KyogokuNatsuhiko|京极夏彦]] - friend and author who fictionalizes the research temperament.
• [[TataraKatsugoro|多多良胜五郎]] - character modeled on him.
• [[YokaiMystery|妖怪推理]], [[FolkloreAsSocialMemory|民俗作为社会记忆]], and Evidence-Bound Folklore Inquiry - concepts supported by his source role.
