Here's my newest figurine, a "Bamboo" monster from the 1990 Famicom RPG "Musashi no Bouken" (The Adventures of Musashi). Said title was never released in North America, but there's a fan translation available online (which is obviously what I used for my screenshot).

Like many RPG sprites, Bamboo gets recycled into other monsters. "Akagare", literally "red wilting". is a condition that afflicts rice plants, resulting in rust-colored spots on their leaves. I'm not sure what "Kuzama" translates as, but my best guess is "Esteemed Kudzu" ("kuzu" + the "-sama" honoriffic suffix).
