Four Gods are four guardian Friends protecting Japari Park. Each of them represents a cardinal direction and based on Chinese mythology.

Descriptions

The Four Gods are comprised of Byakko for the West, Genbu for the North, Seiryu for the East and Suzaku for the South. The four were first featured in the original Kemono Friends mobile game. They are four of the most powerful Friends in the park. They have the unique ability of transforming themselves into or summoning Cellien-like entity that resembles their depictions as deities, to battle opponents, or to test Friends who seek their power. In Kemono Friends 3, they need to chant their seven mansions in order to summon their avatars.

In Kemono Friends 3 main story, it is revealed that Kirin, another guardian Friend featured for the first time, is the chief of the Four Gods. She possesses similar power and abilities as the four guardians.

During Friends Gathering! Kemono Dai-Buto Kai～Spring～! Event Story it was revealed that when Genbu, Suzaku, and Byakko only use 10% of their power because they went dormant, in this state they can only took the appearance of their avatars except they are tiny-sized.
