'''Azukibabaa''' (あずきばばあ, ''the bean hag'') is a [[Yōkai|monster]] from [[Miyagi prefecture]] to the [[Kanto region]]. This is an old woman's yokai that makes the sound of [[adzuki]], just like [[Azukiarai]]. There is a theory that, instead of a different type of red bean-washing monster, the true nature of red bean washing is called "Azuma-gama" in some areas<ref name="mujara"></ref>.
==Local lore==
* [[Kawagoe, Saitama|Kawagoe City]], [[Saitama Prefecture]]
** It is said that at the abandoned temple in Shimo-Kosaka-mura, it made a sound of red beans when it was raining in the evening. In this region, parents said to their children who did not keep up with their parents, saying: "I will be attacked by Shodouba"<ref name="youkaijiten"></ref>.
* [[Gunma Prefecture]]
** Appears in a stream near [[Takasaki Castle]]. At night, they make the sound of red beans while singing, "Would you like to wash or eat the red beans?" And swallow those who pass nearby into the bright light. In order to avoid this strangeness, it is better to calm yourself by holding your thumb<ref name="mujara" />.
