*The name “Tiger” reflects her birth in the Year of the Tiger, an animal symbolizing Asian folklore and strength in the West. Conversely, “Tanuki” is often portrayed with an Eastern, comical image. By combining Tiger and Tanuki, the name aims to convey the appeal of fusing Western and Eastern cultures.
