The Kinshi (金鵄, "golden kite") is a mythical Japanese bird

According to the legend, the golden kite was a messenger of the kami (gods/spirits) that appeared to assist Emperor Jimmu, the first Japanese emperor, during his eastern expedition to unify Japan.

During a decisive battle against a local chieftain, a golden kite is said to have perched on the tip of Emperor Jimmu’s bow. Its brilliant light blinded the enemy army, causing disarray, and led to the Emperor’s victory.
