Douko is one of the two survivors of the last generation of Athena Saints, alongside Aries Shion, who is his close friend. After the war, Douko received the order to guard the tower where Hades' Specters were sealed until the next Holy War. Douko lives alone at the Five Peaks in China with Shun-Rei, an orphan girl he took into his care. Douko is also the master of Dragon Shiryuu and Ouko, who is an anime-only character. Douko serves as a father figure to Shiryuu as well, and Shiryuu often recalls his wise teachings whenever facing difficulty in battle. He is often seen as an adviser to the main characters and a good friend of Aries Mu, Shion's disciple. When Douko was young, he was much more vivid and rather impulsive. After regaining his young form during the Hades arc, he retains the behavior of his youth, albeit much more circumspect and mindful, a result of his almost three centuries of experience as a Saint.
