History
The White Tiger, The White Monarch (白帝) who is later known as Kohaku, is one of the divine beast that can manifest in the world once every few decades or centuries, unless they are being summoned by human.

Kohaku was accidentally summoned by Touya Mochizuki when he was learning the summoning spell under supervision of Yumina Ernea Belfast. At their first meeting, Kohaku released her Intimidating Aura which froze both Yumina and Silver, her silver wolf summon. However, Touya, who has a higher magic level than Kohaku, was unaffected by her sharp and penetrating aura. Feeling uneasy with the situation, Touya asked Kohaku to release both Yumina and Silver from her aura. Touya then immediately asked Kohaku to become his servant following the releasing of the suspense. After briefly expressing her resentment toward Touya's request, she felt an extraordinary divine spirit that residing inside Touya's body. Because of her curiosity, Kohaku allowed Touya to become her master only if his magic was superior enough for her. Touya who had been blessed by God with tremendous amount of mana, he was able to knock Kohaku unconscious. Subsequently, Touya recovered Kohaku using [Cure Heal] spell. On keeping with her promise, Kohaku then accepted Touya as her master and granted "Kohaku" as her name. She later asked Touya whether he had spend most of his mana. To his surprise, Touya had hardly spend his mana after releasing a cascade of mana, Kohaku then asked Touya if she could incessantly manifest in the world. He would agree to her request only if she could work on her appearance. Being agreed to do so, Kohaku then changed her appearance from a menacing white tiger to a cute white tiger cub.

Touya Mochizuki
After Touya learned of summoning magic from Yumina Ernea Belfast, he summoned the Heavenly Beast that came out as white tiger. The Heavenly Beast was skeptical of Touya's capabilities decided to gauge his magic power which was overwhelming and left the former surprised. Impressed, the beast deemed Touya worthy of being its master and asked for him to name him to make the master and servant bond official. Touya gave him the name Kohaku which it immediately liked after Touya explained the name's meaning with this Kohaku officially became Touya's contracted beast. Kohaku soon asked to walk by Touya's side at all times and took on smaller form to look inconspicuous.
