In addition, Hachibukishu (eight fierce gods) who serve Shitenno (the Four Guardian Kings), are often confused with these Hachibushu because they have similar names to Hachibushu and some of them have the same names but they are different deities basically.
なお、四天王に仕える八部鬼衆は、これらの八部衆と名称も類似し一部重複するので間違われやすいが基本的に異なる。
