A yokai that washes red beans at streams late at night, echoing with shoki-shoki or zaku-zaku sounds. It appears near human settlements, blending into the sound of running water. Descriptions vary: a small, wizened elder or, at times, a child. Rather than direct attacks, it deceives with its presence, luring people into slipping. It appears in Edo-period strange tales and picture scrolls, with some accounts noting its habit of counting beans with exactness.
