Name origin
- English: Presumably based on the color indigo, a type of blue and possibly 'boo', an exclamation popularly depicted as being uttered by ghosts to frighten or surprise the living.
- Japanese: Hitodama (人魂, literally "human soul" or "human ball"), written in katakana. Hitodama is a fictitious being from Japanese folklore based on wandering souls of the newly deceased, similar to will-o'-the-wisp from English and European folklore.
