Several other instruments can also transform into yokai if they are played for many years and then neglected. The most well-known is the biwa bokuboku, pictured below.

One example is the biwa bokuboku which is often reported sitting alone in rooms playing sad music as a result of being abandoned by whoever used to play them. There are also tales of them dancing through empty homes making music as they go.

Here's a yōkai I made for my game SUMO! The Biwa Bokuboku once belonged to a biwa priest. When no one is around it will play beautiful music that can captivate even the most savage demons.

"What are #yokai?" he asked, confused.
"Japanese demons from folklore," she replied. "Some are evil, others just want attention."
"Like that one?" His eyes widened at the guitar with large eyes and legs.
"Ah, the biwa-bokuboku. He's telling you not to neglect your lessons."
