Ginga Nagareboshi Gin  

The small hero. Birth of Gin, 銀牙　流れ星銀

Gin is a silver Tora-ge who takes his name from his fur coat color. Not long after being born, he witnesses his father Riki's death at the hands of Akakabuto, a fearsome bear that causes destruction wherever it goes. As the third generation of bear-dogs to attempt to confront Akakabuto, Gin sets out in search of other dogs to join him in their battle against the monstrous bear.
