Breed: Akita Inu Gender: male Gin was born in the winter in the town Ou. He was born tiger-striped (Brindle) and therefore his destiny was predetermined. He was to become a bear dog. While Gin still was a small puppy, he saw his father Riki getting thrown into a gorge by the paw of the bear Akakabuto. Gin now starts his training as a bear dog at the old man Takeda Gohei's house. One day in the mountains, Gin meets a strange group of wild dogs who have organized themselves to kill the bear Akakabuto. He now starts a voyage to seek out strong dogs who will be willing to help them fight against Akakabuto. During the journey, Gin becomes an adolescent and the leader of the large platoon.
