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.

—Russian saying popular in the Soviet period, trans. by Vladimir Ivanovich Shlyakov (1993)
“Unthinking people will often try to teach you how to do the things which you can do better than you can be taught to do them. If you are sure of all this, you can start to add to your value as a mother by learning the things that can be taught, for the best of our civilization and culture offers much that is of value, if you can take it without loss of what comes to you naturally.”
