Improved Categories in the Finder
The yokai finder has received a lot of feedback, but we're getting to have so many yokai that it's quite difficult to keep track of them all! Especially when there are families of related yokai like kappa/garappa/gangikozo/etc. and multiple examples of kitsune and tanuki. At this point, I plan of re-addressing the yokai finder to allow for much better categorization and grouping of similar yokai.
