Ginga Densetsu Weed

info!!!

Weed
(Akita Inu/Kishu mix) The son of Gin. Gin has never met Weed, and it is Sakura's dying request that Weed find his father in Ohu. Weed became the interim ruler of Gin's territory and leader of the Ohu soldiers in Gin's absence, officially as of episode 5. Weed is forgiving and kind-hearted almost to fault, refusing to kill his enemies unless the circumstances are dire. Voiced by Sachi Kokuryū.

GB
(English Setter) Cowardly but good-hearted, GB was formerly a slave of rogue boss dog Nero. His life was saved by Smith several months before Weed's birth. He is now Weed's godfather and closest friend. Voiced by Naru Kawamoto.

Sasuke
(Shiba Inu) One of GB's friends. Weed saved him from a guard dog in the first episode, then he left on his own to find his old master. He turned up in episode 19, a slave of Hougen, and GB and Weed were able to bring him into the Ohu soldiers. Sasuke is shown to be a little absent-minded and slow to catch on, cheerfully revealing GB's identity to Hougen's soldiers in episode 19 and nearly resulting in both of their deaths. Voiced by Makoto Ueki.

Mel
(Golden Retriever) A puppy younger than Weed. Formerly a slave of rogue boss dog Blue. He has shown considerable tenacity, especially in defense of Gajou. Voiced by Akiko Kobayashi.
Hook
(Labrador Retriever mix) Formerly a pet, and a slave to Blue before that, he escaped to avenge his brother Kuro's death. He is working for Weed independently. He is the one that told Gin about Weed, and helped Gin in secret during his detention by Hougen. He brought Reika to Gajou after Weed's first encounter with Hougen. Voiced by Kan Tanaka.

Ken
(Great Dane/Saluki mix) One of the commanders of the Ohu Soldiers prior to Weed's arrival. He is the son of Ben and Cross, and seems to have a certain lack of faith in his parents' abilities, something which vexes Ben, as well as Kagetora's father Kurotora. Voiced by Teruaki Ogawa.

Kagetora
(Kai Ken) Son of Kurotora, and one of the commanders of the Ohu Soldiers prior to Weed's arrival. Ken and Kagetora, like their parents Ben and Kurotora, are extremely close friends. Voiced by Eiji Takemoto.

Jerome
(German Shepherd) A trained guard dog and assassin. He was sent after Kaibutsu by his creators in order to kill the mutant. He originally had 15 subordinates; the last four of them died in episodes 4 and 5. He became Weed's advisor, and taught him some fighting techniques. Later, in a fight with one of Hougen's bosses, he lost an ear to Kamakiri in episode 14. He was driven out when he murdered two of Hougen's assassins in episode 16. He worked for Weed independently from then on. After Hougen threw him into a river, he drowned trying to save Weed in episode 25.(In the manga he does not die). As he dies, he awaits to meet his fallen comrades again as well as, interestingly, Kaibutsu, suggesting that he forgave the monstrous dog. Voiced by Masaya Takatsuka.

Reika
(Akita Inu mix) Daughter of one of Gin's old comrades (it doesn't say who). She was captured with John and Gin by Hougen, but escaped with John and Hiro. A pet, she is unaccostomed to fighting, but in episode 24 she bravely attacks Hougen, dragging him into an icy river in an attempt to drown him. Voiced by Eri Nakagawa.

Rocket
(Borzoi) Formerly one of Hougen's spies, he defected and joined Weed's group. His loyalty was solidified when his brothers, Missile and Jet, were murdered by Hougen. Though Jerome and the others were hesitant to trust him, he proved himself by rescuing GB in episode 8. In episode 14, he led the pack to his hometown in hopes of recruiting some natives. But, instead, he was lost and was held captive by Kamakiri, only to be rescued by Jerome. Voiced by Tsuyoshi Maeda.

Hiro
(Great Pyrenees) Nicknamed "the ballsnatcher" due to his signature attack of tearing the *bleep* from his enemies. He helped John and Reika escape from Hougen's clutches, then joined Weed's group. He seeks vengeance on Kamakiri for murdering his father and gouging out his right eye. He finally defeated Kamakiri and avenged his father in episode 22. Voiced by Kenji Nomura.

Kyoushiro
(Kishu Inu) The leader of a large but strong group of juvenile dogs, all abused or abandoned by their parents. After several episodes of dispute, Weed wins his loyalty, and the entire pack comes under Weed's leadership. He almost defected when Jerome was exiled, but Jerome convinced him to remain with Weed. In episode 20, he infiltrated Hougen's pack in an attempt to rescue Gin; he made his dogs believe he was really betraying Weed, to test their willingness to fight for Ohu. Voiced by Yūki Masuda.

Tesshin
(Shikoku Inu) Leader of the Kōga ninja dogs. Prior to Weed's birth, Gin chose him as the successor to Gajou to Futago Pass and had the strength of Gin, the fangs of John, and the speed of Akame. Now he and his ninja dogs are under Weed's leadership. Voiced by Kōsuke Takeuchi. (Note: Tesshin was the pup affectionately titled "Chibi" in Nagareboshi Gin.)

Gin
(Akita Inu) Weed's father. The hero of the battle with the bear demon Akakabuto 14 years ago, and now the ruler of Futago Pass. Was captured and held hostage by Hougen, but later rescued by Kyōshirō and Toubē. He then recovered and gave up leadership to his son Weed. Voiced by Hiroki Touchi.

Akame
(Kishu Inu) One of Gin's direct lieutenants. The last living Iga ninja dog. He assists in the defense of Gajou after escaping during Gin and John's capture by Hougen. Voiced by Takashi Matsuyama.

John
(German Shepherd) Gin's other direct lieutenant. He was killed by Hougen in episode 9 after escaping with Reika and Hiro. Voiced by Tōru Ōkawa.

Smith
(French Spaniel mix) One of Gin's commanders. He lost his leg after saving GB from being hit by a car. He was sent off during Kaibutsu's invasion to protect Sakura and tell Gin of the attack. He was killed by Kaibutsu in episode 4 in attempt to save Weed. Voiced by Ryūsei Nakao.

Ben
(Great Dane) One of the oldest of the surviving Ohu soldiers from the battle with Akakabuto. Ken's father. He's still very strong despite advanced age, but virtually blind, due to poison. He has to be guided by his mate, Cross. Voiced by Katsuhisa Hōki.

Cross
(Saluki) The only female Soldier of Ohu, with a fierce temper. Ben's mate, and Ken's mother. She serves as Ben's eyes in his old age. Voiced by Keiko Mizutani.

Kurotora
(Kai Ken) One of Gin's commanders and the only surviving one of three Kai brothers. Kagetora's father and Shigure's uncle. Voiced by Tadashi Miyazawa.

Moss
(English Mastiff) One of Gin's closets allies. He and Musashi came to Ohu from Shikoku after hearing the situation in Futago Pass from Jerome.

Musashi
(Tosa Inu) Musashi was the champion of the fighting dog middle weight division. Musashi went up against Toube in the ring and lost. He comes to Ohu with Moss to help Weed rescue Gin and defeat Hougen.

[edit] Antagonists

Kaibutsu
Also known as experiment P4, he is a genetically altered dog created by humans; an enormous beast that weighs almost 600 pounds. During the painful lab experiments, Jerome was the only dog to comfort him. After escaping his laboratory, Jerome and his corps were sent to destroy him. Kaibutsu eventually took shelter in Gajou where he killed and devoured humans as he pleased. With the combined strength of Weed, Ken, Kagetora and Jerome, Kaibutsu's suffering finally came to an end when he fell from a cliff and was impaled on a fallen tree in episode 6. Voiced by Kong Kuwata.
Hougen
(Great Dane) A rogue boss dog in the Southern Alps. Both of his ears are ripped stubs. He took the injured Gin captive and intended to take over Futago Pass using Gin as trump card. In the past, he and his brother Genba were man-eaters, and cannibals as well, devouring the dogs they were left in a shed with by a careless breeder. In episode 26, Weed and Hougen battle for Ohu, and though Weed is nearly killed, the young dog succeeds in gravely wounding Hougen. As Hougen lies in the snow, Gin and the other dogs move forward to finish him off, but are stopped by Weed, who passionately tells them that if they cannot forgive their enemies, the war will never end. Hougen uses this opportunity to climb to the top of Gajou, screaming down at the dogs that he will kill them yet. As he gloats, he is struck by a bolt of lightning and killed instantly. Voiced by Kōji Ishii.
Genba
(Great Dane) Hougen's younger brother. He leads Hougen's invasion of the Futago Pass in episode 13. Hougen killed him in episode 18 out of mercy after he suffered a massive head injury from being thrown off a cliff by Tesshin and Shigure. Voiced by Masami Iwasaki.
Lector and Thunder
(Doberman Pinschers) Brothers that are Hougen's top assassins. Their teeth are essentially steel. Weed used a branch and then a razor to shatter their fangs. Jerome killed both of them in episode 16, leading to his exile from the Ohu Soldiers. Lector is voiced by Teruaki Ogawa, and Thunder is voiced by Susumu Akagi.
Kamakiri
(Irish Wolfhound) A rival of Hiro in the Southern Alps, he allies with Hougen in the takeover of Futago Pass. After Genba's death, however, he develops ambitions of his own. Kamakiri is also the murderer of Hiro's father Yukima, and tore out Hiro's right eye. He claims he does not even remember such a thing. In episode 22, he was defeated by the vengeful Hiro, with his fangs and *bleep* ripped off. Before Hiro leaves, however, he told Kamakiri to head south where there was a high population of rats - prey easy to catch with no fangs. As Hiro leaves, Kamakiri grieves in pain, despair and defeat. It is implied that a flock of crows who watched the battle devoured him. Voiced by Yoshitaka Kaizu.
