Origin: Kirin were introduced to Japan via Chinese myths
and legends where they are known as qilin. Over time,
the Chinese and Japanese version diverged into slightly different creatures.
In Japan, the kirin is considered to be the most powerful and sacred beast of all,
surpassing the hōō and tatsu.
