There are several words/expressions related to Buddha/Buddhism due to the religion being practiced commonly for many years in Japan. The Buddha himself as a historical character is called 釈迦 /sha ka/.
Buddha worshiped as a concept similar to God in other religions is called 仏 /bu tsu/, like in the prayer chant 'namu amida butsu' (something close to 'may the lord have mercy upon us').
The same kanji "仏" has a more common usage and reading /ho to ke/ which also can refer to a good-hearted person as well as meaning 'Buddha'.
大仏 /dai bu tsu/ refers to huge statues of Buddha usually built long ago and kept safe through time, about which there are different folklore and commonplace beliefs, like if you pass through the statue, you'll have your wish granted, and that the daibutsu will come to life at the end of times and so on, differing from region to region.
