The boar is the twelfth symbol in the Japanese Zodiac. Legend has it that the boar outpaced the ox in the race to God, but it ran headlong and shot past God, which was why it ended up in the twelfth place. This sign represents “courage” and “adventure”.

In Japanese, a boar is “inoshishi” in romaji, and is written as “猪” in kanji. In the Japanese Zodiac, however, it is often called “ii” and is written as 亥”.
