Kamaitachi are japanese sickle-wielding flying magical weasels. They usually go in teams of three. They become invisible and spin really fast before attacking, so you see a whirlwind coming at you, but when the whirlwind reaches you, it cuts you to ribbons.

They were basically a joke monster, but some modern works of fiction had ninjas attack with gust of winds that cut their foes while shouting "Kamaitachi"

Afterwards, ·"Kamaitachi" became popular as an attack in mangas, animes and movies.
