Money Tigers was the title of the original Japanese programme adapted into the British series Dragon's Den.
The Japanese title is commonly rendered in English as Money Tigers, while the original Japanese title is Money no Tora. Its format placed entrepreneurs before wealthy businesspeople who could decide whether to provide funding for a share of the venture.
That structure became the foundation for Dragon's Den adaptations around the world. The British programme changed the terminology and presentation for its domestic audience, calling the investors Dragons rather than tigers. The United States later used the title Shark Tank for its own adaptation.
The title is easy to confuse with the names of later versions because many international adaptations use animal imagery. Money Tigers refers specifically to the Japanese source programme, not to the BBC series, its panel or the American show.
