Shinkalion: Change the World

In the Metaverse , they manifest as an avatar resembling a female humanoid robot wearing Shinkansen attendant uniforms.

Unlike Vina , who is a specialized Navigate AI created by Ina Onari , normal Navis speak in a monotone voice, and do not express their own personality or emotions.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Shashot is capable of "interlock", a function to enhance the performance of a Shinkalion unit, specifically the E5, and reduce the burden to its driver at the same time by linking up the images between the driver and himself. Shashot is also able to store Shinca Cards inside an IC card slot in his stomach, and provide the cards to Hayato when needed.
Outside of battles, Shashot also acquires two additional abilities after receiving a tune-up in Episode 20 : The Wing Pantograph DX , a small backpack shaped like the head of E5 with a pair of foldable wings, as well as the personality recognition system, which enables him to analyze other individuals' physiognomy, personality and emotions and rank these three traits on an A to D scale.

Shashot is generally cheerful and friendly, but he does have moments of human emotion thanks to his deep-learning function. He has a close relationship with his partner Hayato, though even he can sometimes find the latter's obsession in railways a little overbearing. He would switch to a more combat-oriented personality once he enters the E5.
Shashot usually speaks in honorifics, and typically ends his sentences with the honorific copula "-de gozaimasu" (でございます). This trait is dropped whenever he is inside a Shinkalion unit.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Like other Navigate AI, Vina's avatar appear as a female humanoid robot wearing Shinkansen attendant uniform. The only difference being that Vina wears a yellow bow tie on her neck.

Unlike other Navigate AI (known as " Navi "), Vina is shown to be very emotional and expressive, with her default personality being that of easily annoyed and easily angered, a stark contrast to Shashot and Smat from the Shinkansen Ultra Evolution Institute , who were both more quiet and composed. A lot of her anger is centered around Taisei; if it's not annoyance over his indecisive and passive behavior, then it's chewing out others for potentially risking his safety. Outside of these moments, however, Vina is perfectly affable and supportive, and serves to fill in the sisterly role left behind following Ina's disappearance.

Bahram has greenish-tan skin and numerous glowing magenta streaks across his body. He wears a brown waist cape and shawl, as well as black armor consists of boots, vambraces, straps, a shoulder pad, a neck brace and a battle helmet. Compared to Camalus, Bahram is shorter and skinnier, though he still retains a muscular physique.

Compared to his comrade Camalus, Bahram is much calmer and more composed, and is more trusting of the Shinkalion drivers. Both, however, are fiercely loyal to the Teoti royalties, and are comparatively more conscious about the morality of their actions.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Camalus has tan skin with numerous glowing magenta streaks over his body, and has long white hair with a matching beard, a small patch on his stomach. He wears brown leg wraps and black armor, consisting of a helmet, straps, vambraces, boots and briefs. Compared to his comrades, Camalus is distinctively larger and bulkier, appearing almost overweight by human standards. However, he is still muscular, and is a competent warrior much like his comrades.

Unlike Bahram, Camalus is much more distrustful of humankind and only began to accept the Shinkalion drivers after eating the station lunchboxes brought from earth by Setsura . He is also much louder and prone to shouting, compared to Bahram's quiet nature. Both, however, are fiercely loyal to the Teoti royalties, and are comparatively more conscious about the morality of their actions.

During most of Taisei's youth - particularly when they saw the E5 car transportation - Ina wore her hair in a ponytail. However, she cut it down to a bobcut just before her disappearance. By the time she returned, Ina had grown her hair down to waist-length. After rejoining ERDA, Ina returned to wearing a bobcut, and wears an ERDA jacket over a Lavender top, with trousers, she also wears Purple High heels as well.

Before her disappearance, Ina was a kind and empathetic individual. She deeply loved her little brother Taisei, wanting him to grow up to be a cool person, and be willing to fight for what he believes in. She was also very strong-willed and impulsive, meaning that it took a lot to make her give up or change her mind.
After Ina’s return, she had grown much colder, and with an intense hatred for the ERDA . She wasn’t even above manipulating Taisei to try and get him to join her. When Taisei refused, Ina willingly left him without a second thought.
After Taisei defeated her, Ina’s personality seemed to return to normal, with no recollection of what she had been doing prior.
It later comes to pass that during Ina's first years at ERDA and while Taisei was still an infant, she was a much more naive, neglectful, and bull-headed woman, who often forced her way through any missteps she takes, often annoying her elder peers. While being around Taisei has calmed her demeanor somewhat, Ina is still prone to similar behaviors in the present, generally earning her the ire of many inconvenienced coworkers.


Shinkalion: Change the World


Shinkalion: Change the World

Ryūji Kiyosu is a fourteen-year-old boy. He wears a long sleeve shirt and long pants.

When he was young, Ryūji was no different than ordinary kids, but after his father died he fell silent, before taking up karate to cope. A few words from his mother also inspired him to be more responsible, which took effect when he began caring for his siblings after she fell ill. This carried over and had a profound effect on his older self; As a teenager, Ryūji is far more mature than the other Shinkalion drivers, having an air of discipline that generally makes him more likely to take charge in battle. He is also very pragmatic; although he respects Hayato's high compatible rate, he regularly restrains the E5's driver to fighting on the sidelines due to his initially poor combat prowess. As a result, the other drivers saw him as inflexible and rigid.
Although he seems to be aloof, Ryūji holds a high level of familial loyalty, and deeply cares for his mother and siblings. Despite this, he doesn't hesitate to reprimand Tatsumi whenever he acts impulsive or gets distracted. Over time, though, the other drivers' influence, in addition to words from his family, have softened his cold demeanor. Although initially reluctant, he later began training Hayato in karate willingly and even joined in some of the group's activities. As a result, he became much more respective to the other drivers, and even began researching railways in the hopes of becoming a director.
While Ryūji does his best to give an excellent performance in all of his endeavors, he tends to struggle in situations he is vastly unfamiliar with; he quickly lost his cool over a bonding attempt during a meal due to the other participants' eating customs being vastly different from that of his family's, and he was in utter disbelief after only scoring 2 points out of the 100 on Hayato's railway test, which worsened after he continually failed to answer questions in Futaba 's railway tour quiz later on, though he eventually recovered from the setback.
By the second season, Ryūji was far more composed and flexible due to his time spent fighting for the SUEI, despite having his compatible rate drop due to age. Additionally, his experiences with Hayato also made him quick in attempting to resolve conflicts, even employing similar tactics at times.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Shion originally used a male avatar that was aged around the mid-teens. After interacting with the other drivers, she began using an avatar more accurate to her actual self.

Despite being quiet and reserved for the most part, Shion is very family-focused and is a dedicated martial artist, often training in her family's dojo and helping out her grandparents whenever she can. Aside from this, Shion is very friendly and approachable, and will not hesitate in standing up for those in need of help. Due to her training, Shion can be very stern and focused, with her only reaction to two delinquent students trying to sexually harass a classmate being to wordlessly send them flying back with a punch and kick for each.
Due to living in a relatively isolated area, Shion takes her friendships very seriously, and actively avoids doing anything that may hurt her chances of gaining and retaining any friends she makes. Hilariously, Shion herself admits that she can be a bit of a klutz, which is the entire reason her Metaverse avatar was initially created with blatantly incorrect details.


Shinkalion: Change the World

While Azuma is usually seen as formal, elite and professional by his colleagues, he is actually very childish on the inside, and is an avid train enthusiast. This is especially prominent in that he insists on taking railway transportations alone whenever a trip to other institute facilities is needed, and the fact that he manages to accurately answer Hayato and Tsuranaki 's quiz questions during their brief encounter at Tokyo Station , and he easily matched the former in his attitude as a railfan.
Although he got along well with the Shinkalion drivers, he made extensive efforts to hide his real identity from them to avoid complicating their previously-established relationships as railfans by turning them into strict boss-and-subordinate ones.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Tatsumi Kiyosu is a twelve year old boy with purple eyes and dark gray hair with blue highlights. He also has what appears to be a bandage on his right cheek. He wears a black and white track suit, with a white shirt underneath, along with a pair of dark blue and grey sneakers.
When piloting the N700A, His suit looks relatively the same to Ryuji's, with the exception of a vest and some pants that fit over it.

Compared to his older brother, Tatsumi is far more headstrong and impulsive, often overlooking certain details and prone to foolish behavior, usually resulting in him getting scolded by Ryūji. Despite this, he shares his brother's interest in karate and his dedication towards his family, meaning that they usually get along fine despite a few disagreements. He is also far more open and casual to the other drivers, a stark contrast to Ryuji's initially stoic and secluded social image.
While Tatsumi's favorite thing is typically being with his brother (especially as a Shinkalion driver), he is equally fond of eating; most of his time outside of karate and driving the N700A is spent devouring whatever happens to be on his plate. He also eats alarmingly large quantities of food and tends to do so very quickly, which usually gets him stares and comments of surprise from the others.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Akita's main attires consists resene dark crimson t-shirt, a red vest, a long pants and a pair of brown shoes. When driving the Shinkalion E6 Komachi , Akita wears a full red bodysuit with white sections and black arrow, and a set of headphones with glowing red lines.

Akita is a quiet and calm individual who doesn't take fools kindly, a stark contrast to Hayato 's naïve and talkative excitable nature. Although he has a loose interest in the railways due to being a Shinkalion driver, Akita is much more of a gun enthusiast; having been taught how to hunt by his father and grandfather at a young age, Akita excels in riflery and is a high-class competitive laser rifle shooter, receiving top marks in competitions around Japan. This also makes him highly respectful of the outdoors, and he is adept at surviving out in the wild.
Akita is also secretly a sweets enthusiast, able to name several foreign chocolates in addition to keeping a piece of candy with him.
Despite seeming slightly aloof, Akita is still a child, and is not above certain behaviors that Hayato or Tsuranaki are prone to. Due to growing up in an area close to Shinobu 's hometown, the two get along very well despite small conflicts. Akita also speaks with Tōhoku accent almost exclusively when paired with Shinobu, though unlike the latter he can choose not to use it, often speaking regularly when with everyone else.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Hayato's attire consists of a white t-shirt with a dark-blue vertical stripe from the large collar down and dark-blue sleeves, a shade of green short pants, and green sneakers with a white tongue and pink outer soles.
When driving the Shinkalion E5 Hayabusa , Hayato wears a full green bodysuit with white sections and pink stripes, and a set of headphones with glowing green lines.

Hayato is an avid train enthusiast who dreams to become a Shinkansen driver (like his father used to be before joining the Shinkalion Develop Team ), and having inherited his father's fascination for trains at a young age, he quickly grew well-versed in even some of the more obscure facts about railways. If possible, he will rant about it and compare any situation to a railway fact if possible, often to the annoyance and confusion of his friends and family . However, despite this, he doesn't vocally disapprove of or disagree with someone else's dreams. Instead, he accepts them and tries to understand them as best as he can. He is also very responsible when necessary and has a strong moral code, often doing his best to settle differences between friends calmly. These qualities made him invaluable to the SUEI in putting an end to the Kitoralsus conflict, and his uncanny ability to forge bonds between the Kitoralsus agents and other drivers has made him well respected by his friends.
Hayato prides himself on being a man of his word; if possible, he will keep a promise to the best of his abilities and try his hardest living up to the expectations of others. He is also confident in the abilities of his teammates and successors, doing his best to bring out the best of anyone he knows need a helping hand. Additionally, Hayato is very willing to forgive if he can see the good in anybody, but will aggressively mow down anyone who openly dismisses the dreams and goals of others. These traits would eventually rub off onto many of his colleagues, who have ended up sharing a similar level of morality after becoming acquainted with him.
Although he struggled with physical combat skills towards the start of the series, Hayato showed that he was a quick and adaptive learner when he's really dedicated; all it took was two days of training from Ryūji and Tatsumi for him to be much more proficient at combat using the E5. On the other hand, Hayato has two major weaknesses: his own fear of heights as well as lacking in a sense of direction, which could occasionally put himself in a disadvantage during battles. He eventually got over these in time to defeat the enemy. Hayato is also very used to the fact that other people never get his metaphors without explanation, and as such was surprised when Shin was able to understand his Abt-System comparison.
While Hayato in his teenage years retains his enthusiasm for railways and continues to admire them in his usual fashion when allowed, he is far more restrained than he was as a Shinkalion Driver, being much more mellow and mature. He still retains his compassionate and understanding nature, however, and was more than willing to leave the SUEI's future in the hands of the next generation.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Hayato's attire consists of a white t-shirt with the text "I♡大宮" on it, a teal coat with pink trims, a pair of dark blue shorts, and white sneakers with light green sections and pink stripes. He also wears a light green headband with pink and white stripes, with his fringe hair spiking upward from underneath.

Hayato loves his hometown dearly and is an enthusiast in soccer. Influenced by his father who works at the Railroad Museum , Hayato also shows great passion about Shinkansen and trains.


Shinkalion: Change the World

Tsuranuki's attire consists of a yellow t-shirt with orange sleeves, a shade of blue knickerbockers, and white sneakers with a white tongue and blue outer soles.
When driving the Shinkalion E7 Kagayaki, Tsuranuki wears a full blue bodysuit with white and copper sections and black stripes, and a set of headphones with glowing blue lines.

Tsuranuki is loud, brash, and very hot-headed, a stark contrast to his fellow driver Akita . Having grown up in a family in the construction industry, Tsuranuki takes an interested in civil engineering, and much of his dream was to make a bigger and better impact in his hometown once he inherits the family business . While his difference on interests from his teammates did shake their relationship upon his introduction, he and Hayato were soon able to find a subject that covers both of their interests: Railway infrastructure. Although he tries to hide it, Tsuranuki is interested in driving a Shinkalion , though because of the belief that his family would struggle after the death of his father , he staunchly refused to drive full-time in favor of helping out at a construction site his family is working on. However, he later got over this with the help of some words from his mother and Hayato.
Because of his time helping out on construction projects, Tsuranuki has far more stamina than most of the other Shinkalion drivers, outrunning both Akita and Hayato without becoming too exhausted to stand. He is also capable of numerous strength feats, which translate into his combat style when driving the E7. He also has a tendency to shout certain proverbs as motivation, which vary depending on the situation.
Of the original three members of Team Omiya, Tsuranuki is by far the most arrogant, being the most interested in Rei's offer of calling the three his masters. He is also a huge fan of the Super Spice idol unit, and aware of her nature was far from pleased that Azusa would be recording a performance of the group for her channel.

His eyes are a greenish/brownish color in Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin manga, but blue in Ginga Densetsu Weed and in the reprint of GNG manga after the change of style. Recently, since Ginga: The Last Wars , Gin has developed cataracts in his eyes and so they are rather cloudy, due to age.

Gin is a natural born leader with a lot of charisma. He is brave and strong, even as a pup. He has a strong sense of justice and wants to protect his friends and all those who are unable to protect themselves. He isn't afraid to die for his friends or his mission.

In Ginga Densetsu Weed , Gin is notably older, calmer than before and a bit quiet. It's also suggested that the death of his mate made him feel a bit defeated.

When he sees his grandfather in need of help, Orion stops his fight with Masamune to save him.
In the Last Wars, it appears Orion is jealous of his older and younger brothers, Sirius and Rigel. He thought that he still acts like a puppy because he believes that he would never gain his father's or grandfather's respect because of how obnoxious he is to the rest of the cast at times.
His caring trait is still there in The Last Wars, he doesn't wish to hurt anyone in his family and he affectionately calls Sirius bro. He also wishes to avenge his family and comrades' defeat at the hands of the bears.
He even has a bit of a bad habit of thinking that the worst has already happened. His views on the situation to fight the bears puts him opposite of his brother Sirius's views to make peace with them. Due to his youth he lets fits of sadness and anger control him. Even though, his heart is righteous Orion sometimes has a cruel mind. He even admits that he doesn't have a big forgiving heart like Sirius.

Through that, Rigel's kindness, courage and bravery was similar to his father, Weed's. His willingness and determination to protect Sasuke during the battle against Monsoon's Kin probably comes from the regret he feels from failing to protect his previous mentor or help Masashige .

Weed is a brindle (jp.: Tora-Ge ) Akita-Kishu mix with the fur color silver and with blue eyes. Although his fur color is called silver by Yoshihiro Takahashi , it's actually portrayed bluish. His brindle color is shown with thin lines all over his body.
Throughout his life, It can be noticed as Weed matures through the series, both mentally and physically. In GDW only his body is growing while his eyes keep looking big and young. From GDWO on his eyes got smaller and more severe and it increases in GTLW much more. Since then he looks like an actual adult.

Weed is a very brave, compassionate and kind dog with an unusually strong sense of justice. He also has charisma like Gin. He is friendly and always ready to help other dogs, rarely doubting their intentions unlike GB .
When first met in the series, he is a polite and calm little puppy, raised well by his mother. He mourns the death of his mother and often thinks about her and wishes her spirit to give him the strength to carry on. He isn't afraid to die but hates the idea of others sacrificing themselves for him.
Weed, being raised with the rightful stories about his father, has a strong but slightly naive sense of moral. Even when he hadn't met his father, he strongly believed in him and respected him, seeing him as the true symbol of justice.
Although evildoers make him angry, he wishes to give them a second chance as all living beings have only one life. He is shocked when Jerome disobeys him and kills the Foxhound Spies ( Thunder and Lecter in the anime). However, after he calms down, he admits that Jerome's doing sounded quite sensible as it saved him and his comrades.
He is very persistent, never giving up and telling others to hang on. Though he is small and not very strong yet, he has natural skill and great speed. He can be impulsive and reckless due to his youth and sometimes the swings of sadness and anger take control of him.
In GDW:O, Weed has grown into a mature adult, as a father he loves his children dearly wishing for their well being and safety. But he is not afraid to discipline his children especially Orion when trying to teach him about the army's rule of combat.
Despite having grown up as a wild dog his whole life, Weed like his family does have a
soft spot for one human in particular and that's Daisuke. He does
appreciate Daisuke's help when they need it showing his trust in his father's owner.
He's believed to inherit his grandfather Riki's sense of justice and his father Gin's courage.
Like his friends, he is also full of spirit and strong willed too.

Yukimura has a classical Akita appearance, with red fur and white urajiro markings. His red and white fur, which is complemented by his blue eyes, makes him resemble his grandfather Riki and his nephew Orion . He has three large scars running across the right side of his face and across his eye.

As a puppy like his youngest brother Weed, Yukimura was kind-hearted too, but he felt a great responsibility as the eldest sibling and was very mature for his age.
Yukimura appeared to suffer from PTSD after the attack from the monkeys at a young age. Growing up, he was very stubborn and acted like a genocidal maniac because of his PTSD, even refusing to listen to his adoptive father, Saheiji. Whenever they had a talk about the monkeys, he seemed to have cared a lot about Weed and Joe after finding out Weed was his brother from Saheiji. Much like Riki, he is also strict.
Even though, he knew Gin was his real father, Yukimura greatly honoured Saheiji as his father.
When it comes to strength of numbers he has a sense of honour, believing that the bigger army won't always win. Also when fighting he can be slightly overconfident.
Right before his demise, Yukimura sees that not all monkeys are bad when the rebellious tribe attack Shogun which could mean he is a bit humble when admitting his mistakes.


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

He's a Great Dane that used to work under Batto, one of Hōgen's generals. But after Batto was defeated by Ken and Kagetora , he cowardly hides himself from the battlefield. Hōgen managed to find him when the Great Dane was being persued by Weed and Jerome . Harunosuke told his leader about Batto's defeat. Although Hōgen was a selfish leader and would have killed him for his cowardness, he saw his follower as a handy substitute and kindly let Harunosuke go. As Harunosuke was running away, Hōgen headed into the opposite direction and covered his own footprints with a tree branch, so then Weed would follow his substitutes' footprints and not his. Weed, who was still persuing the evil Great Dane, easily fell into Hōgen's ruse and followed Harunosuke's tracks. However, Jerome recognised the different scents between the cowardly dog's tracks and Hōgen's hidden footprints and went into the opposite direction, where Hōgen was heading. Farther away, when Harunosuke was drinking water from a dripping rock, Weed, by the dog's incredible ressemblence to Hōgen, thinks that he had found the cruel mutt and attacks him with his mastered Zetsu Tenrō Battōga .

However, Hougen forced him by saying that he would kill him if he won't eat him. It isn't official if he is alive or not.

His right eye is blind, making it easier to tell him apart from his offspring.

Shiroi Senshi Yamato

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. It is said that his size was due to his burning hatred of the Ou Army and his continued training to grow stronger to defeat them. His kin are a lot smaller than he is, as he towers over them.
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.
The fur covering his left arm is golden, a trait not seen in any of his other family members.
He has a slashed left eye and he got it from Akame.

Monsoon is very similar to his father in personality as much as his appearance. He is very short-tempered and not afraid to kill anyone who stands in his way. Unlike his father, however, Monsoon was afraid of dogs due to his traumatizing past, in particular, he is afraid of John who killed his Mother and his siblings , and almost him. Upon hearing of John 's death, he quickly relaxes somewhat but still fears dogs because of his trauma.
In regards to his kin , Monsoon treats them more like henchmen than brothers and is quick to anger when they fail him. Bob is no exception as well, as Monsoon sees him only as a tool which he can use as he want.
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.


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

Being an old fighter, he enjoys the idea of meeting opponents strong enough to give him a challenge. He doesn't want to return to dog fighting, though, because what happened to Tsuna Arashi made him dislike the idea of dogfighting.
Benizakura is very humble, often just calling himself an old man and not boasting about his strength nor glorious past. Being an old dog, he wants to be a role model to the youngsters.

Kyōshirō is a white Kishu with odd eyelashes and large black eyes.
He has several scars across his body. He has one on his back, one on his tail, one on each leg, two on his chest (one on each side), one on his right cheek, one on the right side of his forehead, one across his face, two on his left cheek and one on his left ear.
He also used to have two scars on his forehead and a third scar moving across the two scars on his left cheek (from Lecter 's fangs), but they later faded completely.
In the anime version, he lacks eyelashes, has a gray smudge under his nose, and his scars are much more inconsistent.

Kyōshirō is an aggressive, impatient and violent young dog.
He doesn't see what happens around him when he gets angry, a thing he admitted himself.
He is a very brave and confident fighter, but he may get himself and others in trouble because of his impulsiveness and tendency to not think things through.
Although he often has good intentions, he handles things in a harsh way. According to him, anger was originally the only way he knew how to react towards others, because of his harsh past.
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.


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

Teru is a bicolored orange and white unknown mix with brown eyes.
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 .


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

Tesshin has a light colored mohawk on his head. His fur is spotted and usually colored dark brown or gray.
Tesshin's fur is short and healthy looking. Tesshin's eyes are often colored brown or black. His stomach, legs, tail underside and muzzle underside are light colored (usually white). His body is flexible and strong.

Tesshin is rightful, loyal and brave dog. He is often calm and polite. He is selfless and ready to die for his friends.
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.


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

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 .


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

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 . ===


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

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.


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

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.


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

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.


Shiroi Senshi Yamato

Smith is a French Spaniel mix with black and white fur. On old GNG Anime media his fur is sometimes portrayed brown instead of black.
He has brown eyes and wears a yellow collar . He lost his collar somewhere between GNG and GDW .
In GDW his right front leg had been amputated. His long ears seemed oddly shorter since GDW because of a change in art style.

Smith was often comical, sarcastic and jokes around. He was good friends with Gin , though he underestimated him at first due to his age.
He often bullied Cross a bit and she always had something to say back. Smith always had small comical quarrels with Moss as well. They didn't really dislike each other, though, and they were friends. Actually, Smith was in love with Cross , even though he knew that she loves Ben .
According to a joking Cross , Smith was a womanizer. In the Manga , he once said strictly that he is not into males. However, he later hugs and licks Chutora , showing that he has no problem with being physically closer to other males.
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.
