I'm not 100% sure about this, but in Korean myths, there is a spirit that steals people's faces. It is literally called the "egg ghost."
I'm not sure of the specifics, but the ghost itself, while human shaped, has no facial features. I don't know how/why it steals faces either.

This character is really starting to grow on me, like a Hannibal Lecter of the Spirit World. I'm even trying to write a fanfic about the Avatar that he stole a face from. Hello Clarice... sorry had to say it

Or maybe she encountered Koh during the Winter Solstice. Remember when Sokka and those other guys from that village got snatched up by Hei Bai? During the week of the Winter Solstice, the Spirit and the Living World merge and weird stuff happens like regular people being able to see and interact with the spirits. I wonder what happens on the Autumn and Spring Equinoxes and the Summer Solstice ...

I don't know about you guys, but I thought Koh was the coolest character on the entire show, aside from maybe Jun. I mean, he was just so awesomely badass it made my spine tingle. I can see why some people would be creeped out by him, but I think that just added to his awesomness.

Koh is really cool. He reminds me of different things. Hes alot like No-Face as mentioned before. he also reminds me of the fire boss in legend of zelda wind waker. When you shatter the bosses helmet, it is a giant centipede with one eye in the center. It also reminds me of Giygas, the final boss from the game Earthbound. Giygas looks just like Koh's head area. Big grey oval shape with feelers coming out and a human face in the center. pic: theearthboundone.tripod.com/earthbound/images/walkthru11_01.gifI dont think the mask would work. But if Koh couldnt see your face while looking the other way he might not see through a mask. Maybe Aang could fight him wearing a mask. It would be cooler if Aang didnt have a mask and just couldnt let Koh see him at all, because fighting causes people to generally show facial expression.

I like his character. Interesting/somewhat scary/intriguing/mysterious all in one.

He stole the face of a past avatar's love. I don't get how that could happen unless female entered the spirit world which is impossible to enter w/o being the avatar, i think. i think anyone can enter the spirit world when they die. so maybe the avatar's girlfriend died and went to the spirit world to be rejoined with the previous avatar, only to get her face stolen by koh. so the avatar tries to kill koh.. who is already a spirit? in spirit world? can you kill a spirit in the spirit world? and i don't know how iroh got to spirit world without dying. maybe he had a near death experience where his life flashed before his eyes, but i think it would be something cooler than that.

And nobody seems to recall the "Winter Solstice" episodes.

Maybe you don't need to die, or be an avatar to go into spirit world. Also like in Ep 19 and 20, Aang got into the spirit world by watching the Moon and Ocean Spirits swim around. This states that there is more than one way to get into the spirit world and that doesn't involve death. And maybe ko was at one point mortal like the M and O spirits and then later went back to the spirit world......Ya think that can even be done I also agree with kohthefacestealer

I think Koh stole Ozai's face. While I doubt that it would be very interesting.

koh couldn't have stolen ozai's face, because in the winter solstice episode we see ozai breathing fire out of his mouth. and only people with face have mouth. at least i should think so...
