==Legend==
The Mai-Kubi are a trio of disembodied heads seen floating above the sea in the middle of the night, spewing out tomoe-shaped flames from their mouths, all the while bickering with each other.
Three samurai from Manazuru, Izu, Kosanta, Matashige, and Akugorō, were heading off to a festival when they got drunk and began to argue with each other, soon escalating into a swordfight that ended with all three of their decapitating each other. The heads of the men rolled into the sea, where even there, they still bickered with each other. The Mai-Kubi would create tomoe-shaped waves as they argue, which locals called the area around them the Tomoe-ga-Fuchi.
