It is called by names based on its color, such as Akabera (Misaki), Aobera, Aobero, and Gomanjo (meaning young girl) (Shizuoka and Wakayama), and because it is somewhat tall, it looks short for a wrasse and has a large head, so it is also called Hachi (Kagoshima), Daikoku (Atsuta), and Hyotangizam (Hachi = 8 = Hyotan, Hiroshima). The names Moio and Mokuzu (Toyama) were given to it because it lives in places with a lot of algae. *Some of the terminology that mentions "Red Wakaba (Sasanohaba)" is listed below.
