| Quirky Full Member   Gender: Male Orientation: Gay Out Status: Still in the closet. . . Location: Sydney, Australia. Age: 20 Posts: 654 Join Date: May 2009 | Re: I think it's Japanese... It is both the Chinese and Japanese character for tora, meaning Tiger. As the others said. The current Chinese character for Tiger is probably a simplified version so the one you have shown would be the traditional one, OR current Japanese character.

OMG, it's Tora? 1.) I am obsessed with tigers. I've got about 12 posters on my wall. I own about 10 plushies. I've got calendars, canvasses, I've adopted a tiger through Born Free, everything. 2.) That's the name of my best friend's cat. I insisted ^.^ Never knew the Japanese spelling of it though. Thank you all, that's put me in a really great mood =D

My mother has an antique painting, of the 12 animal spirits with their symbols written in traditional chinese. That is how I picked up on it.
