... I don't know about Kindaichi. But Shishi'ô (lion king) is a verry ancient daitô given y the Emperor to Minamoto-no-Yorimasa after he slew the Nue yôkai, who plagued the Emperor. Numerous ancient pictures shows Yorimasa shooting arrows to the demon, and one of his retainer finishing off the beast with his katana.

I don't know if Shishi'ô still exist nowadays. Yomi and Mitsurugi's daitô were inspired by Shishi'ô and bears the same name, but I don't know if any of them even looks the same as the original Meitô Shishi'ô.
