Eight-Tailed (Gyūki)

[jah_chidori]

The Eight-Tailed Giant Ox (八尾の巨牛, Hachibi no Kyogyū) is a demon ushi-oni that was sealed within Killer Bee of Kumogakure.

An ushi-oni (牛鬼, ox ogre) is a creature which appears in Japanese folklore. An ushi-oni is a massive, brutal sea-monster with the horned head of a bull and the body of a sea animal, like an octopus or a crab. It lives off the coasts of Japan and attacks fishermen.

An ushi-oni appears as protective symbol in the Ushi-oni-matsuri, which is held in late July in Uwajima of Ehime Prefecture. Like the dragon dancers at a Chinese New Year celebration, an ushi-oni is represented with a huge, multiple-person costume with a cloth body and a carved, painted head held upon a pole. It has a sword for a tail, and is thought to drive away evil spirits.
