Shiro (Hozuki's Coolheadedness)
A cheerful and loyal white dog who serves as a guard in the Animal Hell, known for his simple-minded nature and fluffy appearance.
Story
Shiro is a white Shiba-like dog who was once a companion of the legendary hero Momotaro. After Momotaro's retirement and subsequent employment in the afterlife, Shiro became a prominent worker in the Animal Hell, specifically the Kyokan Hell, under the supervision of the Great King Enma's chief deputy, Hozuki. He is characterized by his extreme loyalty, boundless energy, and a somewhat naive or 'fluffy-headed' personality. Unlike his serious and stoic superior Hozuki, Shiro finds joy in simple things and often acts as the primary comic relief. He leads a pack of other animal guards and is frequently seen interacting with his friends Kakisuke the monkey and Rurio the pheasant. Despite his cute and soft appearance, he takes his job of punishing sinners seriously, though his methods often involve biting or chasing in a way that looks more playful than malicious. He is highly social and often visits the mortal world or other departments of Hell, making him one of the most recognizable and beloved residents of the Japanese afterlife.
