Ashinagatenaga
Mythology: Japanese
A pair of yōkai. One, Ashinaga-jin, has extremely long legs, while the other, Tenaga-jin, has extremely long arms. They are said to be found in Kyūshū.
The two work together as a team to catch fish by the seashore. In order to do this, the long-armed man, tenaga, climbs onto the back of the long-legged man, ashinaga. The ashinaga then wades out into the shorewaters, staying above water with his long legs, while the tenaga uses his long arms to grab fish from his partner's back.
Tenaga's arms can reach a bit over nine meters. Ashinaga's legs stretch to just slightly over six meters.
