How is a turtle a better representation then an octopus when you are looking at a mythological, giant octopus?
The Nibi should be the Bakeneko.

I am surprised to see the name of the 4 tails but we had to expect that. Masashi Kishimoto is influenced by Akira's work and with this i think its a "thank you" to him. For inspiring him and for bringing to the world such a great manga; Dragonball.

Not really, it could be a slight reference to that but it is mainly about how Son Goku can also be interpreted as "Monkey King". The Four-Tails is a monkey, a very large monkey so it would make sense <_<
with all the talk about Son Goku, noone has mentioned Kurama, the name of the demon fox in Yu Yu Hakusho... a demon fox named Kurama.... coincidence? He could have also used Mount Kurama as an inspiration, but thats the "home" of the King of the Tengu so i dunno... and Kurama translates to Car....
Based on that I’d say names are
1- Shukaku(if thats not his name then Ponchi)
2- Kirara
3- Gamera(but since he took Manda from Godzilla maybe not), so Genbu. Only giant turtles I can think of
4- Son Goku
5- have no idea
6- no idea
7- no idea
8- Gyuuki (part of Zoro(one piece) attack name, means demon ox)
9- Kurama

Lol at these guys. I think ichibi name was revealed waaay back in part 1 as shukaku.
Son goku is named not only after dragonball z but also after the monkey king from the story "journey to the west" if you look at other mangas, animes or movies or etc that make refrence to the journey to the west the "monkey character" is usually named son goku. Also another reason that its a dbz refrence is cuz the jinchuriki is roshi and apparently a sage of his village. Roshi in dbz was also a sage/hermit. But than again roshi is also copied from the journey to the west if i am not mistaken.
Kurama is somewhat related to 9 tails myth. I remember kurama from yu yu hakusho who was also a fox demon.
I have no idea what the names of the otger beats will be but itll probably be japanese lol not "frank"

I thought that was what they called it. It may just be what the villagers of Sunagakure referred to the Ichibi as so it may not be his actual name.

actually if my memory is correct the one to mention his name being Shukaku and bring it up was Gambabunta. not ppl form his village. but thats based off my memory so i may be wrong.
hachibi called him tanuki tho but idk if hachibi was referring to that being his name or that being what type of animal he was. (cuz the 1 tail is a tanuki [racoon dog])

Shukaku (Tanuki) ~ The Japanese raccoon dog (Nyctereutes procyonoides viverrinus), also known as tanuki (狸 or タヌキ?) in Japanese, is a subspecies of the raccoon dog native to Japan.
Kyuubi (Karama) ~ It translates to the word car in Japanese, but I'm sure the anime is referring to a Youkai Kistune, a fox demon, named Kurama
So I'm assuming the others names are related to Their animals and Japanese myths.

Yeah, that's what I have been noticing with a lot of the things that Kishi adds.

Baku doesn't sound right for a dolphin horse and the mythological context feels off. I think Baku would be a good name for the cat however.
Mujina seems like the Ichibi's name as it refers to a racoon dog, or a Tanuki.
I think there is a story of kurama in Japanese lore that's similar to kurama from Yu Yu hakusho. Well the story is actually similar demon fox enters a baby. The kid grows up using the foxes power.
Son Goku is obvious. His jinchurriki's name is even Roshi. Roshi defeated Goku great ape Goku.
