The Hibagon (ヒバゴン^?) or Hinagon (ヒナゴン^?)^{[citation needed]} is the Japanese equivalent of the North American Bigfoot^{[citation needed]} or the Himalayan Yeti.^{[citation needed]}

The Hibagon is described as a "black creature with white hands and large white feet, standing about five feet tall."^{[citation needed]}

Sightings have been reported in "forested, mountainous areas of the country," around Mount Hiba^{[citation needed]} in the Hiroshima Prefecture^{[citation needed]} and has been said to resemble a gorilla.

"The Hibagon has a snub nose, large deep glaring eyes and is covered with bristles. Theories to account for this cryptid range from a gorilla, a wild man, or a deserter from the Japanese army, to an individual ravaged by atomic radiation from the nuclear attack on Hiroshima."^{[citation needed]}

A sighting from 1972 reports that the creature "has a chocolate brown face and is covered with brown hair ... [and] is said to have 'deep glaring eyes', in two reports by a Mr. Sazawa and a Mrs. Harada, the creature took no hostile action and fled from four armed residents intent on hunting it."^{[citation needed]}
