What is tiger yokai?

Tiger Yokai, also known as Tora Yōkai, are creatures of Japanese folklore that are typically portrayed as large, powerful, and fearsome. They are believed to inhabit the mountains and forests of Japan, often taking the form of wild tigers or tiger-like beasts.

In Japanese mythology, Tiger Yokai are associated with strength, bravery, and fierce determination. They are often depicted as guardians of sacred places or protectors of the natural world, and are considered to be highly respected and feared.

Despite their fearsome reputation, Tiger Yokai are sometimes known to be benevolent, especially towards those who are kind and pure of heart. However, when angered or threatened, they can become incredibly dangerous and deadly.

In modern popular culture, Tiger Yokai have been featured in various forms of media, such as anime, manga, video games and movies. One of the most well-known depictions of a Tiger Yokai is the character Yusuke Urameshi's spirit beast in the anime/manga series "Yu Yu Hakusho".
