Creepy Internet Stalker

A furry/anime artist/other talentless, oversensitive type who gets mad at a particular person (usually a female that they have a creepy, backwards crush on) and goes around trying to get even in such ridiculous fashions as writing innacurate, stupid definitions including their real name.

I seem to have a creepy internet stalker on urbandictionary.com

Tanuki

The Japanese name for the raccoon-dog, Nyctereuctes procyonoides. In folklore the animal is credited with supernatural powers, including shapeshifting, money counterfeiting, and most notably of expanding its already very large scrotum to use as a drum or a weapon. Tanuki statues are a popular part of Japanese kitsch, portraying a jolly, plump little anthropomorphization of the creature, usually with a straw hat, a bottle of sake, a purse of bills for his carousing, and of course his big wrinkly testicles dragging on the ground between his feet.

The Studio Ghibli feature Pompoko was never properly imported to the United States due to its copious and unabashed supply of tanuki balls.

yu-gi-oh

The most utterly buttfucking terrifying cartoon I have ever seen. Based on yet-another-monster-battling card game, features a disturbing little anime boy with creepy eyes, starfish hair and a baritone voice.

What is Cartoon Network thinking by airing Yu-gi-oh?

youkai

Youkai (written with kanji meaning "bewitching apparition") are traditional Japanese monsters of supernatural origin. The word is often translated as "goblin" or "demon". Youkai are grotesque, diverse, and often as silly as they are terrifying. They were a popular subject in ukiyo-e prints, and the artist Toriyama Sekien is famous for publishing an extensive, illustrated bestiary of the creatures. Some of the best known youkai include oni (large, horned ogre-like demons who punish sinners in hell), tengu (beaked or long-nosed bird-men), kappa (turtle-like water-imps), and kitsune and tanuki (foxes and raccoon-dogs - real animals to whom supernatural powers were attributed).

The nurarihyon is a very obscure breed of youkai.

rice cracker

Adorably derogatory pun for whiteys who like Asian crap too much.

Man I just bought a Balinese garuda mask, a Hokusai poster and a dozen maneki neko off eBay. I'm such a rice cracker.

you can't fight the moonlight

Phrase lifted from some song. It is now an allusion to the futility of trying to claim copyright on generic, pointless ideas, particularly within internet fandoms. Has something to do with purple dogs, swans with dogs shoved up their asses, and deviantart.com. Maybe. We can't say for sure.

"Holy shit I came up with bat-winged transvestite raver Anubis stop drawing him"
"You can't fight the moonlight, baby."

otakukin

The horrible, fiery collision of the otaku and otherkin subcultures. I.e., people who believe they are somehow involved with/reincarnated from the souls of anime/video game characters. Japanese pop culture is literally their religion. And no, it's not a joke. They are the ultimate illustration of how utterly batshit insane the Internet has become.

After I heard about the otakukin, everything else seems sane by comparison. Even shitting dicknipples.
