In Popular Culture
The savage Koga Dogs of the Japanese manga series Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin are thought to be Shikoku, although they are portrayed as having mohawk-like shocks of fur on their heads. Tesshin, the son of the Koga leader, Kurojaki, is an important hero in the sequel series Ginga Legend Weed. The anime-only characters Ryo, Ryu, Heita, and Hanji (four dogs shown aiding Jerome) may also be Shikoku. Both series are by Yoshihiro Takahashi.
