8. This article stated the literal translation of the title, "Kobutori Jiisan", to be "Plump Old Man", but this is a mistranslation due to a homonym. "Kobutori"/「こぶとり」 can be written either as 小太り (which means "plump") or as 瘤 取り (which means something like "lump-removing").

9. Kobutori Jiisan 7 /Digital EHON site This kind old man’s story made the mean old man very anxious to meet the demons; so he went to the mountain on the day of their next party. When the demons started drinking, the mean old man went right up to them, and began dancing. However, his dance was so bad that the demons got angry at him.
