Kyoto Lion is one of the cases of Alien Big Cats reported from Kyoto, Japan.
Sightings[]
In the early 1970s, there was a series of reports of lion-like creatures over a wide area in western Japan. The first sighting of the Kyoto Lion also occurred in such a situation.
In January 1971, a hunter spotted a lion-like creature in Fukuchiyama.
In May 1972, a lion-like creature was sighted by a junior high school student in the Tamba area of Kyoto. The witness testified that it was a large cat-like creature, similar to a lioness or puma, light brown in color with no pattern on its body. The creature was said to be bouncing and rolling around in the grass.
In January 2018, a blogger revealed that he had witnessed a similar creature two or three years earlier. The person was approaching Miwa Town, Fukuchiyama City, when the person looked at the river flowing below and saw a lion-like creature. For more information, see here: https://kameoka.net/kyoto/animal
