Shiro (シロ, Shiro) is a character in Suikoden II. He is a wolfdog who lives in the forest with Kinnison.

History

He's pretty smart for a mutt.

—  Richmond

Shiro is a wolfdog who lived in the Ryube forest with Kinnison. Shiro, a mutt combination of both wolf and dog, was said to be highly intelligent and able to distinguish between good and evil. His father was likely a white wolf of legend, explaining his gift.

Kinnison had found the young Shiro by the dog's dying mother after a storm and had raised him ever since, the two becoming firm partners. As such, the two had been together for a long time and Kinnison seemed able to understand the meaning of the noises that Shiro made.

His favorite food was, perhaps unsurprisingly, meat. Kinnison would allow him to hunt on his own as needed. The blue cloth tied around his left foreleg was a gift of friendship from Kinnison, with a good luck charm sown inside.

He's a real party animal! Woo!

During the early stages of the Dunan Unification War, Kinnison and Shiro encountered the hero in the forest after the hero had rescued a baby bird. Sensing a respect for nature from him and dismayed at the damage the advancing Highland Army were causing, Shiro and Kinnison both agreed to join the New Alliance Army.

In Muse City, he lost Kinnison's trail briefly and was walking along a back street when he ran into Nash Latkje. Perhaps sensing something about the man, he let out a single cry and walked away. He would soon find Kinnison and the two continued to stay with the New Alliance Army.

Shiro struggled with living at the New Alliance Army Headquarters at first, but gradually came to like the castle. He even gave Gengen rides on his back. Shiro's speed and power made him a vicious enemy for the Highland Army to encounter throughout the war.

Following the Dunan Unification War, Shiro returned to Ryube Forest with Kinnison, always by the side of his master.
