In the show's background story, there was once an immensely powerful beast, the Ten-Tails. A man known as the Sage of the Six Paths managed to subdue it inside himself, becoming the first Jinchuuriki.

As he neared the end of his life, the Sage feared what would happen if the Ten-Tails were to escape. So he divided its chakra using his powers of creation, and created the 9 Bijou, tailed beasts, from One-Tail to Nine-Tails. He also gave them names, the Nine-Tails is called Kurama.
