Kutisake-onna (yap. 口裂け女, lit. "a woman with a torn/slashed mouth") — a famous Japanese urban legend about a beautiful woman who was mutilated and killed by her jealous husband, and then returned to the world of the living as a vengeful evil spirit.

A character of Japanese urban legends, a vengeful spirit in the form of a woman with her mouth cut from ear to ear. She usually wears a surgical mask. A woman will stop the child and ask: "Am I beautiful?" If the child answers "no", the woman will kill him with the scissors she carries with her. If the child says "yes", then the woman removes the mask, opening the mouth cut from ear to ear, and asks: If this time the child answers "no", then the woman will cut him in half, if he still answers "yes", then his mouth will be cut from ear to ear.

It is impossible to escape from it, since it simply reappears in front of its victim.
