#irohihi

The Irohihi likely symbolize the lustful older men of Hinako's hometown, and she even describes these monsters as "having greedy eyes" - suggesting lust and "greasy palms" - implying unwanted touch and "acting overall friendly to females." and we knw this all draws on her own experiences as a student walking home from school.

These creatures also crawl on all fours emphasizing their animal like behavior (this could be a metaphor for men behaving like dogs/animals. The" all men are dogs "saying) but it could also tie into local folklore of kitsune-tsuki/" Fox possessions" which is a curse said to inflict those who blaspheme against the Inari faith

Even the creatures name seems to be a play on the words

色 - Iro which reads as colour or lust

ヒヒ Hihi - meaning baboon but this is also an older term used for a lecherous man.
