The kishi is a two-faced demon in Angola. According to legend, a kishi has an attractive human man's face on the front of its body and a hyena's face on the back. Kishi are said to use their human face as well as smooth talk and other charms to attract young women, who they then eat with the hyena face. The hyena face is said to have long sharp teeth and jaws so strong they cannot be pulled off anything it bites. The word kishi, nkishi, or mukisi means "spirit" in several Bantu languages spoken in Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of the Congo, northern Zambia, and Angola.

(en) Il kishi è un demone a due volti della mitologia angolana. Secondo la leggenda, un kishi ha il volto di un uomo umano attraente sulla parte anteriore del corpo e quello di una iena sulla parte posteriore. Si dice che i kishi usino il loro volto umano, oltre che per parlare e per attrarre delle giovani donne, che poi mangiano con il volto di iena. Si dice che la faccia della iena abbia lunghi denti affilati e mascelle così forti da non poter essere staccate da ciò che morde. (it)
