A unicorn-like auspicious creature in Chinese mythology. Usually appears as a mix of an eastern dragon, a horse and a deer. The creature's name transliterates to "kirin" in Japanese, "girin"/"kirin" in Korean, and "kì lân"/"kỳ lân" in Vietnamese; these terms are also used in their respective languages to refer to the common giraffe. Kirin Brewery uses this creature for the company name and logo illustration.
