While it is common for a pair of figures to be referred to collectively as "Komainu," in this case, the left side without horns is known as "Shishi" (lion), seeking enlightenment in the Agyo form. The right side with horns is the "Komainu," representing enlightenment in the Ungyo form. Komainu with horns are exceptionally rare.
