Sakachi

Breed: Unknown Sakachi is the leader of a local pack in the South of Japan. He takes care of Weed’s siblings Joe and Yukimura and raise them as his own, when their mother Sakura gets too weak to hunt. However, the puppies get attacked by some monkeys and when Sakachi tries to save them, he get so wounded that he looses the movement in his entire lower body. He meets Weed when Yukimura brings him to their hideout. Later, he tells Yukimura to go and help Weed in the fight against Shougun. Shortly after, he meets Gin who asks for directions. He tells him of Sakura, Joe, Yukimura and Weed. He is carried by Hiro to the battle ground where she sees Yukimura, his beloved foster son, die. After Yukimura’s death, Sakachi tells Weed that Yukimura was his brother and that Yukimura knew that Weed was his. He tried to protect him by trying to fight him off, as he didn’t want Weed to get caught up in the battle with Shougun. (source: GingaSite.net)
