A yokai taking the form of a monk playing a biwa lute. The biwa is the yokai itself; the "monk" is simply a reflection of Hoichi, the biwa player whose unwise dealings with restless Heike warrior spirits cost him both his ears. Lures intruders deeper into places of evil with its eerie melodies.

The second half of its name is said to refer to Bokuba, a famous biwa lute in ancient Japan. Tunes played on Bokuba had the power to summon and bewitch spirits and yokai like the vengeful Heike warriors who attacked Hoichi, and even to call Revenants forth from their bloody graves.
