鬼対虎 (oni tai tora): "the oni against the tiger."
Old Japanese compasses named the directions after the zodiac animals, and the northeast fell between the ox and the tiger: ushitora. It was also the kimon, the demon gate, where trouble gets in. So oni came to wear ox horns and a tiger-skin loincloth, and Enryaku-ji, on Mount Hiei to the northeast, was honored as the temple guarding Kyoto from it. Japanese kids still sing about those tiger-skin pants to the tune of Funiculì, Funiculà.
A red oni with flowing white hair and gold horns stomps on a roaring orange tiger and lifts a studded gold club. The box at the top reads 鬼 (oni) vs 虎 (tora), "oni versus tiger," and the big cream characters say 伝説 (densetsu), "legend." The chest repeats the matchup in white brush, with the vs in red.
Save it for someone born in a tiger year, like 1998 or 2010, and see whose side they take. Cargo pants and sneakers suit it, and the orange tiger burns bright against the black. More of the cast waits on the oni and masks page.
