Apios fortunei, commonly known as Hodo, Hodoimo, groundnut, or potatobean, is a tuber-forming member of the Bean family. It is a native plant of Eastern China and Japan. It is one of three species in the genus Apios that are known to produce edible tubers, although it has generally been considered an emergency, or famine food or medicinal plant.

The only place in the world today where American groundnuts are commercially farmed in any significant quantities is in Japan. Before the American groundnut was introduced to Japan, the people on the main island of Honshu and the northern island of Hokkaido were already familiar with a native, wild plant called hodoimo (Apios fortunei), which was occasionally eaten as an emergency food. It is believed that sometime during the Meiji period (1868-1912), American groundnut was accidentally or deliberately brought to Japan. One theory is that American groundnut was accidentally brought to Japan as a stowaway weed among apple seedlings imported from North America.
