"Ryozanpaku no Fumoto ni Ryoketsu Yu wo Kisou" (Two Heroes battles at the foot of the Ryo-zan-paku Mountain) The two heroes from the Chinese popular novel, "Suikoden" (Shuihu zhuan) are battling against each other. Yang Zhi (Jp: Youshi, nicknamed as Seimen-ju which means blue-faced animal) on the left. Lin Chong (Jp: Rinchu, nicknamed as hyoshi-to which means the head of leopard).
