==Legend==
It is a yōkai that becomes larger the further one looks up, and is thus considered a type of ''mikoshi-nyūdō'', which has the same characteristics. In Aichi Prefecture, it appears as a small ''bōzu'' that has a height that is not even 3 shaku (about 1 meter), but when people who meet them get close to it, it would then increase in height and become a large man about 7 or 8 ''shaku'' to 1 ''to'' (about 2 to 3 meters). It is said that by saying to it "," it is possible to make it disappear, but in reverse if it says something instead, it results in death.〔
In Fukushima Prefecture, it is said to be a weasel, and when one looks up at a nyūdō-bōzu, it would gnaw at people's windpipes and kill them. It is said that since the weasel stops on the shoulder of the person it is trying to fool, if one does not get startled and grasps that leg and stomps it on the ground, it would be possible to exterminate the nyūdō-bōzu.〔 In Nagano Prefecture, it is said that their true form is considered to be a tanuki or mujina,〔 and in Miyagi Prefecture, a mujina.〔
