Koohii stories:

1) [dwhitman] 27-10-2007(219): It seems bizarre, but tortoises are a genetic cross with the head of a fish and the tail of an eel. Where the shell comes from, no one knows.

2) [skylarth] 15-6-2008(118): A tortoise is prosperity bound up with a tail. They are very lucky creatures.

3) [elanlan] 18-4-2009(30): Tortoises are known to live relatively long lives (it is not uncommon for them to exceed 100 years of age). Thus, a tortoise is a creature that is bound by its shell to see many days, with its little tail peeking out.

4) [Yuta73] 20-11-2010(26): Tortoise. DBZ. This is goku's symbol in his back. How can I forget it!

5) [torida] 26-5-2010(9): [addition to dwhitman's] It seems bizarre, but tortoises are a genetic cross with the head of a fish and the tail of an eel. They are the symbol of prosperity (stroke order).
