Shizu

シズ

Shizu is a young man possessing considerable talent in swordsmanship. He travels alongside Riku, his talking dog companion, in a dune buggy. While he appears in only one episode of the anime, he features in multiple stories centered on himself and Riku within the novels. Riku narrates all of these stories except for one. Later in the novels, Kino and Hermes encounter Shizu and Riku again, though Kino only seems to recall Riku's name. Shizu is the son of the hedonistic king featured in the sixth anime episode.
