These dogs are very famous for their ability to punch like humans and they are known to be a bad omen just like the crow or owls, where it is said that if you see this dog in the neighborhood, put your tail between your teeth and run, many Japanese if a problem or accident happened with them, they blame this strange creature But it is well-known about her that if you approached her, she would ask you to leave her alone. Some people say that they have seen her chase cars on the highways, and her speed may reach 100 km per hour. Most of the places she hides are garbage bins.
Some believe that these creatures are nothing but the spirits of dogs that died due to being run over by cars, and some interpretations of the same myth say that they are just evil spirits incarnated in the form of dogs, and others say that these creatures may be the product of some forbidden scientific experiments in secret laboratories whose whereabouts no one knows.
