===Association with Momotarō legend===
Okayama Prefecture is closely associated with the folklore hero, [[Momotarō]]. This tale is said to have roots in the legendary story of [[Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto]] and Ura which explains that the Prince Ura of Kudara used to live in Kinojo (castle of the devil) and was a cause of trouble for the people living in the village. The emperor's government sent Kibitsuhiko-no-mikoto (Momotarō) to defeat Ura. The city of Okayama holds an annual ''Momotarō-matsuri'', or Momotarō Festival.<ref name="nipponika" /><ref>{{cite web |title=Okayama History |url=http://www.okayama-japan.jp/en/history.html |access-date=24 June 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120522182456/http://okayama-japan.jp/en/history.html |archive-date=22 May 2012}}</ref>
