Etymology[]
Gyuuki is based on the Youkai of the same name, Gyuuki, also known as "Ushi-oni". A creature which appears in the folklore of Japan. There are various kinds of "Ushi-oni", all of them some sort of monster with a horned, bovine head. The "Ushi-oni" has a different appearance based mainly on geographical location. It most often has the head of an ox with some Oni-like attributes, sharp horns curving upward, sharp fangs, and a slender tongue. The body is most commonly depicted as spider-like with six legs and long singular claws at the end of each appendage.
Perhaps the most famous "Ushi-oni" appears as a protective symbol in the Uwajima Ushi-oni Festival, which is held in late July in Uwajima of Ehime Prefecture. Something like the dragon dancers at a Chinese New Year celebration, this "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 an Oni-like head, a long neck, and the body of an ox. The body is either red or brown with shaggy hair similar to the coat of a yak. A short sword replaces its tail, and it is thought to drive away evil spirits.

Trivia[]
Despite being an Oni, Gyuuki is not part of the Oni tribe
Curiously, in the Chinese version of Yo-kai Watch 4, Gyuuki's red colouring was changed to green. The reason for this change is unknown, but it's possible it was changed to avoid any resemblance to blood.
