Origins

A kinshachi is not an animal that exists in the wild, but instead can be found within Japanese mythology. The name 'kinshachi' (金鯱) comes from the characters'金' for 'gold' and '鯱' for 'shachi', which is shorthand for 'shachihoko' (鯱鉾). These two characters, therefore, mean 'golden shachihoko'.

A shachihoko (lit. 'Killer Whale') is also a mythical being.
