TRIVIA
Grubsnitch might be based on the old urban legend of Perori Taro, about a boy with such an irrefrenable appetite for food his parents chased him out before he would drive them to starvation. From then on he wandered the country, getting hungrier and hungrier and begging people for food, causing them to run away when they saw him.
“Tsumamiguinosuke” is a combination of tsumamigui (つまみ食い, eating food before a meal begins) and suke (助), a common part of a male given name.
“Grubsnitch” is a portmanteau of the words grub, slang for generic food or to take food, and snitch, to steal of pilfer something of minimal value. Yokai Watch List of Youkai
