Once again, internet-divination says this (or the original, thereof) is a restless spirit of a disgraced warrior (usually samurai) that fled instead of committing ritual face-saving (and gut-splitting) suicide and/or were later killed by lowly peasants, thus becoming an outcast - perhaps in the afterlife more so than in this life. They, however, are believed to protect the region to which they fled - often villages in the mountains. They're probably gloomy, strong-willed and dutyful, trying to redeem their shameful acts committed in life serving in the afterlife. (Also, it says some exiled crimnals coud become ochimusha)
