In ancient times, there were lions but no tigers. Because lions are cruel and have a bad reputation, the Jade Emperor in charge of seals wants to remove lions from the list, but he wants to add an animal to manage the mountains. At this time, the jade emperor thought of the tiger guards in front of the temple.

The samurai guards in the Heavenly Palace used to be just an unknown animal on the ground.
