Shindara Taishou is one of the Twelve Divine Generals. Among the twelve zodiac animals, he represents the tiger. Although he's usually off napping and acting independently, he's actually quite observant of his allies, ready to jump to their rescue at a moment's notice. If someone throws a ball while he's watching, he just can't resist the impulse to play with it, and gets distracted. -- quote from Namu Amida Butsu! Wiki.

Since the original design used some animal characteristics, it is advisable to add an animal head to the character. There is also some inspiration from this artist's model.
