Characteristics:
Banded jacopever (Tanukimebaru) is distributed from southern Hokkaido and southward to Yamaguchi and Kochi prefectures. It inhabits rocky reefs at depths of 50 m to 175 m.
Banded jacopever (Tanukimebaru) and Fox jacopever (Kitsunemebaru) are very difficult to distinguish depending on the individual. In Hokkaido and Tohoku, both species are often shipped as Mazoi without being distinguished from each other.
