Translated with Google translator: More than 600 years ago, Zheng He went down to the Western Sea, brought back the giraffe from the African land, and dedicated it to the Ming Dynasty emperor. The emperor’s minister, in order to please the emperor, then deceived the emperor. This is the unicorn, the emperor did not see. I have never seen a giraffe before, and I believe that it is true. I also call the artist a portrait of a giraffe and call it a unicorn figure. So people later thought that Kirin was a double-horn, but in fact, the earliest record about Kirin was in the “East Zhou Lie Guozhi”: “Hey, beasts also, and they are in the corner of the oxtail, so they don’t stalk the worms. From this we can see that the Chinese unicorn has always been a unicorn.
Complains about MLP FiM Kirin not being close to Japanses styled Kirin from Spirited Away, yet fails realize that they are Chinese in origin, and that film just adapted their take on it. Also the creature from Spirited Away was a Esastern DRAGON. NOT a Kirin. Talk about failing to do research.
I would totally watch your show about Vishnu and Shiva as roller skating vampire hunters.
That being said, Unicorns and Pegasi are also majestic, stoic, and terrifyingly beautiful creatures in mythology. Kirin are just a pan-Asian version of a magical equine creature.
The Mask is a fan of the Mad Monkey movies, a series of cheesy chopsocky movies about a kung fu monkey who refuses to talk.
During a movie marathon, he finds out that the entire series is being cancelled because the rights to the character have been optioned for a Broadway-esque musical.
The musical is a lot lighter than the movies, with Mad Monkey singing show tunes and refusing to fight.
The Mask barges into a rehearshal and responds with the quote above.
Really, I’m not a “hater”, I just immediately thought of the episode when Autumn Blaze started to sing.
Op has also forgotten that Kirins are creatures renowned for peace, justice, and nature. Rituals involving dance were common in the honor of mythical sacred beasts. Which the Kirin was one of those such beasts, so yes, song and dance was in their history.

True
Artists can interpret the general description of mythological kirin however they want to.
