http://pastebin.com/FWm01NPB Yes, monoeye/scyclopes have been a part of Japanese mytholgoy, in the form of the one-eyed children and the one-eyed monk:

I remember the monoeyes had a brief spike in interest, thanks to Iris from Ruby Gloom (the cartoon had some popularity in Japan) There was an OC project for making a village of monoeyes on pixiv, and dates back to about 2009 to 2010
There's a lot of history regarding monoeyes, and I'll post one more image later, when I get up.
