Dragon King of the West Sea

Ao Ji (敖吉)[1] or Ao Run (敖闰)[2] is the Dragon King of the West Sea (Chinese: 西海龙王; Pinyin: Xīhǎi Lóngwáng). Of the four Dragon Kings he is the least mentioned and very little is known about him in Journey to the West except than when Sun Wukong asked him for a gift he did give him one. He could be linked to the White Tiger as both are Chinese western gods. His brothers are Ao Kuang, Ao Chin and Ao Shun .
