Gin

銀

Gin was born in winter in the town of Ou. He was born with a brindle coat, which predetermined his destiny to become a bear dog. While still a small puppy, Gin witnessed his father, Riki, being thrown into a gorge by the bear Akakabuto. Gin then begins his training as a bear dog at the home of the old man Takeda Gohei. One day in the mountains, Gin encounters a strange group of wild dogs who have organized themselves to kill Akakabuto. He embarks on a journey to find strong dogs willing to help them fight against the bear. During this journey, Gin matures into an adolescent and becomes the leader of a large platoon. His sense of justice and generosity inspire many dogs to swear loyalty to him.
