Hachibi means 8-tails. (hachi = 8,kyuu = 9)

Spoiler for manga:

The Jinchuuriki of the 8-tails (an Ushi-oni) is named Kirabe (Kira Be, Killer Bee or whatever) and is the brother of the Raikage. He has been an important character in the last 10 chapters or so. He is also the first black character to appear in the manga.
