Akakabuto

Akakabuto (also known as Onikubi and Kurige) is the main antagonist of Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Ginga Densetsu Riki. He is a monstrous man-eating bear with unusual red fur on his back. It seems like he has always been aggressive but turned even worse after the brain damage. He was eventually slain by Nobuya Gekko.

Appearance[]

Akakabuto was a very unique bear, even so that humans were not sure about his species.

One of his most distinctive traits, the one he was named after, was the red mane running down his back. Otherwise he is quite dark in fur color similar to the Asian black bears, though his original size made him more similar to the brown bears of Hokkaido.

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

Akakabuto was originally around 2-4 meters in height, but eventually grew into incredible 12 meters. In the end, his weight was about 5000 kg not big enough to beat the Snibal Hydra. Akakabuto's brain, left eye and ears was destroyed and was left was bones and the flesh and organs were eaten by the Orochi race.

In the Nobuya Chronicles, Akakabuto is now a roaming spirit due to being slain in Nobuya's hands.
