The term "Sanin-Tora" refers to the Kai Ken (also called Tora Inu or "tiger dog"), a rare Japanese breed recognizable by its brindle coat. "Sanin" likely refers to the San'in region of Japan, while "tora" (tiger) evokes the dog's striped appearance, which served as natural camouflage for hunting in the mountainous province of Kai (present-day Yamanashi Prefecture).
