When he hears from Gennai that the Kurohabaki Clan is in his territory and that the leader, Masamune Kurohabaki , wishs to form an alliance with him, Tenka quickly sees this a threat and refuses Masamune's proposal. Instead, he orders Gennai to set out to assassinate Masamune. However, the first attempt failed after Gennai fought against Kenshin , Masamune's closest follower. Tenka knows that Masamune will try to kill him.
So, Tenka orders Gennai once again to assassinate Masamune a second time. While Gennai is fighting the entire Kurohabaki Clan, Tenka moves his army toward the toxic area and decide to wait for Gennai's return. Gennai and his squad returns from the toxic chasm. Though they failed once again to kill Masamune, they did however lead a portion of the clan into the chasm where they evetually suffacted and died.

By nightfall, with Shiro still absent, Gennai and the three of his followers set out to find him. Later, one of Gennai's followers returns to Tenka and pleads him to send reinforcements to aid Gennai's third attempt to assassinate the clan leader.
However, Tenka selfishly sees this as a chance of escaping and orders his pack to move out, saying that Gennai's sacrifice will allow them to escape from the Kurohabaki Clan's grasp. At sunlight, while Tenka's pack heads Eastward to avoid the Kurohabaki clan, they stumbles into Akakamakiri , who was recently banished by his own pack due to his cruel behavior. When Kamakiri 's son reacts violantly towards them, Tenka manages to control Akakamakiri's mind, making him bow down as a sign of forgiveness.
Thus, Akakamakiri joins Tenka's pack. Later, Gennai and his battered squad members return to Tenka's pack with Shiro who had lost his ears, eye, tail, and leg. Although Shiro said that he didn't say a word about his pack's location despite the horrible torture that he succumbed to from the clan, the fact that Gennai failed again to kill Masamune was displeasing for Tenka. His final and cruel order was that Gennai and his wounded squad would stay behind and hold off the pursuing Kurohabaki clan as much as possible and to kill Masamune a fourth time.
They then leave the five wounded dogs to the mercy of the clan. They eventually arrive at the secret koga hot springs where Kenshin is resting. One of Tenka's followers quickly notices Kenshin as an enemy, but Kenshin and his followers manage to avoid a fight. Just as they were about to escape, Gennai and his squad arrives. However, when Tenka gives the order to kill them, Gennai, in contrast, lets the clan members go.
Tenka does not understand why his foster son would disobey him and Gennai says that he has decided to desert Tenka's pack. Since Tenka cruely sent Gennai several times into complete danger and even left him and his squad to die like useless dogs, Gennai grew tired of this. Gennai leaves Shiro under Tenka's care and he and the remainder of his squad walk away despite the constant calls of Tenka for them to come back.

Like his father Akakabuto, Monsoon is a huge bear with a red-furred back. Currently, it is unknown how large he is, as his father's size was due to a mutation.

Monsoon has two scars across his left eye and his left arm is much larger than his right arm due to him being born left-handed and constantly using it in battles, which made it grow to an enormous size. Later, his dominant arm also has somewhat blunt claws, due to using it a lot.

In a very rare instance of mercy, Monsoon allowed Sirius to take the bodies of his comrades away for a burial, the reason he did so was because a young Gin saved him as a cub from being killed by John , and so Monsoon repaid the favor once.
After many tries, Sirius got to reach this bear and since then Monsoon started to get an conscience. He accepted Sirius as his friend though he's still distrustful against him, fearing him to betray him someday. But Monsoon protects him and plays around with him, without injuring him, even if he first tended to be too violent and too rough while playing. But he learns time to time and starts to be more patient and careful, the closer their friendship gets.
Sometimes he still has thoughts of killing Sirius when getting angry but he rather takes his anger out on surrounding objects than on him. After all he can get aggressive fastly if he feels betrayed or manipulated, even just of small things. But Sirius now got a place in his heart and he can't come to injure him even if thinking of it. Since Monsoon gave him his trust he can get hurt and feel betrayed easily, always thinking of the worst first. He even shed tears of pain when he thought that Sirius betrayed him.

He once believed that only violence could solve problems, but he also had a rightful side: he didn't want to harm travelers, is caring towards puppies and refused to serve Hōgen . He wanted to help, guide and protect abandoned young dogs and make them real males. He was even ready to give his own life in order to save young Teru .
Due to his past experiences, Kyōshirō was once very distrustful of adults, believing they're liars and only use their puppies for their own good. He soon changed his view as Teru's father sacrificed himself and when the Ōu males helped him.
He slowly becomes more mature and considerate while travelling with the Ōu army , but he also loosens up and becomes more playful and humorous. Although he is occasionally angered by Weed 's beliefs, he believes that Weed 's rightfulness will make him more rightful.
Tōbē 's death affected Kyōshirō greatly and because of it, he promised to become more mature as an adult. As he begins to grow, Kyōshirō becomes extremely loyal to Weed and even crying over his leader's supposed demised and tears of joy when he returns.
Despite becoming an adult, Kyōshirō is still aggressive and hasty, sometimes even needing to be talked down by Mel or restrained by some of the older dogs. But he keeps it under a bit more control seen in GTLW , as he seems to have some respect for his elders like Cross .
He is pretty tough on Orion , seeing him as a brat in the need of a good discipline lesson, or seeing much of himself in the young pup. As Orion continues to grow, Kyōshirō starts to develop some respect for him. And even though he is tough on Orion, Kyōshirō does care for him in his own way sometimes by using words of praise or knocking some sense into him.

In the anime his fur is more brown and cream in color.

When he is first introduced, Teru is a skittish puppy and afraid of his father. After he is rescued, he comes to respect and look up to Kyōshirō. When his father was being tortured, Teru did nothing to help and even declared that he was not his son. Teru showed a bit of bravery when he faked a suicide sentence (Thunder and Lecter held him hostage and threatened to kill him) and when he attacked Lecter.
After spending some time with the Kōga elder and the Kōga Clan, Teru's bravery grew. He seems to possess a possible leadership position and lead the Junior Ninja Dogs to save the Ōu Army .

However, during his first appearance, he is very bitter and quite aggressive. He turns much friendlier after the misunderstandings are cleared. He is ready to kill those who deserve it, but never wants to use unfair nor low means.
Though he clearly respects the Kōga shinobi traditions, he knows things have changed and that the old ways of thinking shouldn't be blindly followed.
Though his father means a lot to him and he seems to have at least some respect for Kurojaki and his memory, he despises the evil things he did and wishes he could repay them.
Tesshin rarely loses his temper and he can be hasty too, wishing to avenge the demise of those close them like the Koga Elder.


Silver Fang Legend Weed

Akame is a pure white Kishu dog.
He has black eyes (brown in GNG and now sometimes blue since the style change). They are not red, since he is named after his ancestors, not his eye color. He has a slashed right eye and he got it from Monsoon .
Akame is often seen with calm expression, matching his personality.

Akame is a wise and calm dog. He rarely loses his temper and knows a lot about fighting.
However, he was raised to be an Iga ninja and fight against Kōga dogs, without questions. He has been trained well, being very fast, having excellent hearing and knowing many ancient techniques. He is able to use objects usually only humans could use.
Akame feels horrible guilt after accidentally blinding Ben , the dog he respects a lot. He also doesn't like the idea of other dogs getting into the battle between Iga and Kōga, believing that no innocent dog should suffer from it.
Akame realizes that respecting the ancestors is fine but blindly obeying orders coming from several generations behind isn't good. He leaves his old mission and starts a new one, but also shows respect towards Kurojaki , the leader of the Kōga Clan, and his Kōga dogs who still were loyal and died for their mission by following Kurojaki into the fire of the burning Iga House.
Akame quickly befriends the other dogs, often being a voice of reason and supporting young Gin as a new platoon leader.
Akame faces his past again when he fights Shūga and is shocked by their similarities, still feeling guilt of his obsessive Iga past. However, Ben tells him that he is not like Shūga.
In Ginga Densetsu Weed , Akame is a big help due to his calm and rational thinking - and his ninja skills. He sometimes gets into small quarrels with much more hot-headed Kurotora .


Silver Fang Legend Weed

Ben is a large, muscular Great Dane, and is mainly a light brown with black splotches around his eyes. He has a dark brown snout, and wears a red beaded collar.
He has cropped ears and a collar, showing his past as a pet dog. His collar is red, but for some reason it's portrayed a greenish gray in GDW anime.

Ben is a dog with great physical and mental strength. He has unusual endurance, bravery, wisdom and sense of honor.
He is extremely loyal to his leader Riki and his mission, viewing it as his reason to live. Riki trusts him greatly and cares of him, making it odd why Sniper is his right hand instead of Ben.
He respects dogs with resilience and bravery. He is very impressed by Gin 's skill and nature, but the younger dog is still quite young and Ben often guides him. Ben is willing to entrust Gin with the first platoon leader role after he loses his sight, knowing he would be a great leader.
Ben has a very kind heart. He has mentioned himself that he dislikes killing and tends to give the criminals another chance instead. He has often helped and saved other dogs. He saved the young Kai Brothers and took care of them until they could survive on their own. He also helped Akame escape after he was caged by his owner. Ben's owner seems to trust and understand his dog very well and it seems like that he sometimes lets Ben wander by himself.
Ben is at the times a bit comically under Cross 's thumb and doesn't want to make her angry. Eventually, the two fall in love and have puppies together. While other dogs are unaware of her being pregnant at first, it seems that Cross told Ben about it. Ben wants to protect his family in the battle against Akakabuto no matter what. He is protective father and shows his pups affection.
In Ginga Densetsu Weed , Ben has turned completely blind and also senile from age. Cross takes good care of him. Sometimes he starts to wander, not realizing where he is going, and doesn't recognize things like he used to. Sometimes he might turn a bit angry or stubborn due to his inability to remember and understand things clearly.
In the GDW anime, his senility was turned more comical, while it has more sad and serious tone in the manga. Generally, his mind is more clear in the anime. Yet, he is oddly grumpy and aggressive in GDW anime, not matching his personality in manga.
=== Kai No San Kyōd After Ben got wounded by Sniper , Cross watched over him in the nursery and licked Ben's wounds while he was laying on the floor , mumbling to Cross . ===


Silver Fang Legend Weed

Chūtora is a Kai Ken with brown fur and black stripes. He has amber eyes .
The differences between him and his brothers is his fur color and his missing right ear. Chūtora's ear was ripped off by the same marten who bit out Kurotora 's eye.
In the GNG Anime he has fully brown fur, while in the Manga he has a paler underbelly.

Chūtora is aggressive and quick-tempered, like his brothers. He turns nicer after joining the pack and getting new friends.
He fights with Cross and gets furious after finding out that she's a female, attacking the other Ōu dogs for sending a female in the battle. He refuses to fight Cross even if she tries to, but remarks that he will kill her if she doesn't stop.
Like his brothers, Chūtora dislikes to run away from the enemy. However, like Akatora and unlike Kurotora , he knows that running is at the times better option.
Chūtora gets angry if he sees disrespectfulness towards the leader. He is often annoyed by Smith in Shin Gaiden . He shows respect towards Gin by calling him supreme commander instead of calling him by his name like most of his friends do.
Like all the brothers, he respects Ben greatly and would be ready to die for him.


Silver Fang Legend Weed

John is a purebred German Shepherd with a cream and black color. He has a black mask and originally blue eyes, which are sometimes portrayed as yellow or brown in later artworks. In GNG he wears a brown collar - yellow in later artworks - which he looses in the end of the Akakabuto Arc .
In the GNG Anime his markings are quite different from the Manga version, and his cream tone is more likely portrayed as a light brown.

John is an arrogant, cocky and short-tempered dog. However, he is also very loyal and brave.
He is quite a big show-off and it's mentioned that he is proud of being European breed rather than Japanese one. He has seen the world with Hidetoshi and helped him hunt several animals, including large and dangerous beasts. It's possible that due to this he never had much relationships with other dogs, explaining his somewhat poor social skills.
Though he certainly has skill and strength, he seems to view himself more stronger than he actually is. He often recklessly challenges much stronger opponents, like Riki and Gaia and even once the whole pack of Kurojaki , always being sure that he will win. He is impatient and wants to leap in battle even when it's not a smart thing to do and would lead in trouble or even his death.
John has a notably harsh tongue. He is prone to swear and insult his opponents. However, he talks to the Old Dog in a polite way, proving that he has respect at least for elders. He seems to have problems admitting the skill and strength in other dogs, but learns to respect Gin and Riki.
Few times, John has shown interest in leading other dogs. At first he wanted to take over Riki's pack and then Kurojaki's pack. He seems to like the idea of other dogs serving and obeying him. Given his attitude and temper, he probably wouldn't be a very good leader.
He is stubborn and sometimes doesn't listen the others very well. He also seems to take negative first impressions of other dogs, most of them later changing. He is often aggressive at the dogs who have done no harm.
In Ginga Densetsu Weed , he is much older and has became more humble, not anymore seeing himself as the best. However, he is still very confident and hotheaded, especially if underestimated due to his age. He is still aggressive (like towards Sasuke at first) and tends to not trust strangers (like Reika and Gon ). Akame and Gin scold him at the times due to his rude behavior or eagerness to kill. Nevertheless, he shows unending bravery and loyalty.


Silver Fang Legend Weed

Kurotora is a Kai Ken with dark fur and black stripes. He has yellow eyes like his brothers. He has a slashed right eye and he got it from the same marten who ripped off Chūtora ’s right ear. In the GNG anime, he is completely dark blue-gray, while in the manga he has a paler underbelly.
Since the style change, he has different face markings and blue eyes.

Kurotora is aggressive, violent and short-tempered. While all three brothers are known of their quick temper, Kurotora is the most impatient and easily provoked, attacking easily with small reasons.
His impulsiveness sometimes makes him recklessly attack much stronger enemies. He'd rather die than run away - and he taught this way of thinking to his nephews. Apparently, it's Akatora who first told him about this way of thinking, but Kurotora didn't listen to the part about how running is okay in extreme situations.
Like his brothers, Kurotora respects Ben deeply and would give his life for him. Kurotora would have died if Ben wasn't there to rescue him.
Kurotora feels hate towards snakes due to his past experience with one as a puppy and eagerly challenged Hyakkiga due to his serpent-like armor. He is not afraid of snakes but they simply seem to make him aggressive.
In Ginga Densetsu Weed , Kurotora is still highly aggressive but old - and he hates to be reminded of it. He is very proud of his nephews and sons and greatly cares about them, though he can be a bit harsh with them at the times. He mourns deeply when his nephews die.
Kurotora understands well when Shigure wants to avenge the deaths of his brothers and eagerly encourages him to have revenge.
He sometimes gets into small quarrels with Akame as the Kishu is notably more rational and Kurotora doesn't always agree with his way of thinking. The other Ouu veterans sometimes need to calm Kurotora down as well as he is very annoyed when he isn't allowed to fight.
Kurotora seems to realize his own nature and once mentioned that he isn't as goodhearted as Gin or Akame as he rather beats up the enemy in anger.
In Ginga Densetsu Weed: Orion and Ginga: TLW, Kurotora admires and respects the veterans of the army and becomes angry at those who disrespects his comrades.

Smith may seem slightly cowardly and timid at the times, but he had a very strong side. He showed fear and dislike of wolves at first, more than the other dogs, but eventually accepted them.
During the battle against Akakabuto 's bears, Smith showed his very brave and serious side and was ready to die fighting. He hated it when he could not carry on in the battle after being injured.
In GDW , Smith is older and seems much more serious. However, it's revealed that before the disappearance of Sakura , he was joking and laid-back just like when he was younger. It's likely that the failure of protecting Sakura and loss of his leg made him change a bit.
As an older dog, he felt responsible of younger dogs and wanted to teach them manners and protect them. Sometimes they may annoy him a bit and he doesn't always believe them.
