Its female counterpart is the succubus. Religious tradition holds that repeated intercourse with an incubus or succubus may result in the deterioration of health, or even death. · · kamaitachiKamaitachi is a Japanese youkai often told about in the Koushin`etsu region.

In modern times, a succubus is often depicted as highly attractive, while in the past succubi were depicted as frightening and demonic.
