The *amefurikozō* as illustrated by Toriyama Sekien.

Amefurikozō (雨降り小僧, "rainfall kid") is a weather spirit illustrated by Toriyama Sekien in his Konjaku Gazu Zoku Hyakki. It appears as a strange child carrying a paper lantern and wearing a hat made from the husk of an old umbrella. According to Sekien, it is in service of U-shi, a Chinese god of precipitation, and thus has the power to make the rain fall.

It also appears in a short manga story of the same name, known as Rain Boy in the west, by comic artist Osamu Tezuka.
