Spirit away

The expression to "spirit away" means to remove without anyone's noticing.

Kamikakushi (神隠し^?, lit. "hidden by Kami") means "spirited away". Kamikakushi is used to refer to the mysterious disappearance or death of a person that happens when an angered god takes a person away. In pre-modern Japan children would often disappear in this way and be rediscovered several days later in a shrine or temple, consistently telling a story of being swept away by a god.

In the anime film Spirited Away (千と千尋の神隠し, Sen to Chihiro no Kamikakushi^?, Sen and Chihiro's Spiriting Away), the main protagonist, Chihiro, is "spirited away" from reality to the spirit world.

In the short story The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, when the main character Ichabod Crane vanishes after being pursued by the Headless Horseman, he is rumored to have been spirited away by the specter.

In the anime, manga and visual novel Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, when people disappear, they blame the curse of Hinamizawa's guardian god/demon Oyashiro-sama, who takes people away every year, and then people talk about "Onikakushi" (鬼隠し^?, lit. "hidden by an Oni"), which is the name for the first arc of the manga, anime and visual novel.
