*''Other Names: amayuu, mirukuyuu''
*''Okinawan'': 世果報 ''(yugafuu)''
''Yugafuu'' is an Okinawan term meaning, roughly, "good fortune." The word appears in many ''[[ryuka|ryûka]]'' (traditional poems), and classical songs, and is mainly associated with [[Miroku|Miruku]] (Maitreya, J: ''Miroku''), who brings good fortune with him, as he arrives in the village from ''[[nirai kanai]]'' (a land of the gods, beyond the sea) on the occasions of certain festivals.
