kanaboo, kanabō 鬼に金棒 Oni ni kanabo -
鬼伝説 Demon Legends about the iron club
- quote -
"oni with an iron club" 鬼に金棒 oni-ni-kanabō,
that is, to be invincible or unbeatable. It can also be used in the sense of "strong beyond strong", or having one's natural quality enhanced or supplemented by the use of some tool.

oni ni kanabo - that might be a mountain priest with a strong walking staff, or maybe just a person with a long neck . . . anyway it is a common expression.
In the Hyakki Yakō Emaki 百鬼 夜行絵巻 "100 Demons' Night Parade Picture Scroll" by
Tosa Mitsunobu (1434 - 1525) there is a being with a long neck, but it is different from the painting of みこし入道 / 見越し入道 / 見越入道 Mikoshi Nyudo.
- quote -
Mikoshi-nyūdō
a type of bald-headed yōkai "goblin" with an ever-extending neck. In Japanese folklore and Edo period (1603–1868) kaidan "ghost story" texts, mikoshi-nyūdō will frighten people who look over the top of things such as byōbu folding screens.
The name combines mikoshi 見越し (lit. "see over") "looking over the top (of a fence); anticipation; expectation" and nyūdō 入道 (lit. "enter the Way") "a (Buddhist) priest; a bonze; a tonsured monster".

福井県 Fukui 坂口村 Sakaguchimura
From August 14 to 16, during the O-Bon rituals, the lid of the hell chauldron is opened and an Oni with his Kanabo throws out the dead people that got stuck under the lid. The living have to go to a temple and welcome their dead home, otherwise the dead souls will hang out at the eaves of the temple all the time.

This is a story about a man who almost died at age 33 and came back to tell his adventures.
He walked is a fairy-tale place where a red and green ray guided him. He heared someone call his name various times, but finally crossed the river to the Other world, 三途の川 Sanzu no Kawa. The river was very wide, but shallow. On the other side he saw a kind of hill and a large plain with flowers. Further on there was an iron gate and a great mansion. The 赤鬼と青鬼 red and blue demon stood at the gate.
He asked them to let him pass, but they refused, shouting at him in an angry voice:
"It is too early for you to come here, go back home, go back home!"
「お前はここに来るのは早すぎる、帰れ帰れ」
Then they swung their iron clubs and hit him . . . but that was the moment when he woke up among the living.

沖縄県 Okinawa 八重山郡 Yaeyama district
Once upon a time, there lived an Oni at the beach.
He often stole the food from the fisherman along the river 川平 Kabira and caused trouble. One day Chikara, チカラ a strong man went up to the Oni, stumped his Kanabo into the boulder and asked the Oni to pull it out again. But the Oni could not pull it out.
Next Chikara brought his fishing rod, stuck it into the hole and bent it round. He asked the Oni to make it straight again, but when they tried they were flung around themselves and spit and scattered blood and flesh.
This flesh is said to have become the ヤマヒル, 山蛭, Haemadipsa zeylanica japonica, a kind of "jawed leech".

山形県 Yamagata 真室川町 Mamurogawa
Once a grandpa climbed up the shoulders of a Jizo Statue and waited there for some Oni to pass, some Red and Blue Oni, and even some 縞だ鬼 striped one's were supposed to meet here.
They came along, lay their Kanabo on the ground, payed their 銭 money offers and then begun to sing and laugh and make merry.
When there was enough money on the ground, the clever grandpa imitated the call of a chabo 矮鶏 rooster. The demons thought that the night was over and left in a hurry. This is how grandpa got all the money and finally got rich.

A legend from 群馬県 Gunma about the Kanabo
The Tengu from Kashozan came to support the 日露戦争 Russo-Japanese War in 1904. A young priest came to the local blacksmith, asked him to make a strong iron club and carried it up to Mount Kashozan. Then a black cloud could be seen, floating from the mountain in the direction of Russia. And when the war ended, the iron club came right back to Mount Kashozan.

A legend from 山形県 Yamagata, 南陽市 Nanyo, about the Kanabo
In 沼の平 Numanodaira ("plain of the swamp") in former times there used to be a large swamp.
Rain was falling for many days in a row and the farmers were in great distress. In the swamp lived a 蛇 serpent, and the villagers thought this serpent was calling for the rain. So they asked the local blacksmith to make a large iron club and threw it into the swamp.
And indeed, the rain stopped on this day!
