      Abdul Rakhib There is no plurality in Japanese nouns. Plural of haiku is just haiku, the same way that "samurais" is not a thing. Hokku is the opening stanza of renga (an orthodox collaborative linked poem) and the derivative (renku). It followed the 5-7-5 pattern as well. When it became popular as it's own standalone poem, it was renamed as haiku.
