|Biography|
Such a tiny dog, many critiqued as mass of man looked over the pet store along the banks of Ashimori. Though even in the thousands of people, one boy would see him as the greatest treasure of all. Toyoshiha Shimazu, a Japanese solider during the harsh years of the Sengoku era of Japan. He served under the Warlord, Oda Nobunaga. The young man at times felt lonesome during his travels and battles, he loned for a companion to share his hardships. To form a bond so universal, that many would envy. Toyoshiha wanted this more than anything as well as the Kai Ken pup. Tis was destiny the two shared, Shimazu originally named him Roh.
Roh would watch his master with such intent, wanting to learn, understand, even wished to speak to him. It became a habit that his master would give him a bamboo twig as a pup to naw upon when he wasn't able to give him a slab of meat during times he was busy. Eventually, the man taught him to hunt and become self-reliant since it will be a great benefit when the wars would come closer to the Japan capital. How he eventually got the name of 'Jin' was when Toyoshiha was severely wounded, and abandon Roh took care of him. From protecting, helping him with hunting so that he could cook without the effort of scavenging, and was his blanket. Even with the lack of communication he was able to provide for him, unfortunately Jin-Roh wasn't a healer. Able to get assistance, it was too late and his master soon came to past.
But this did not deter him to stop severing the Shimazu Clan and the Warlord Nobunaga. He wanted to fulfill his masters dream of fighting to the bitter end. And so, he did along side clan members and others in 4 tours until the unification of the land came to be and the Fall of Nobunaga. Even with a defeat but hard fought, there was a statement that he remember hearing Shimazu recite.
"Time fades the darkest ink. And forever bound to the book of Lore."
He never really understood what it meant, and that moment throughout time, even long after his service as a war dog. He ponders to the statement to understand its true meaning.
