Takeda Gohei

Daisukes grandfather Takeda Gohei is a hunter and very talented in training bear dogs. He has trained both Shiro and Riki and during the beginning of the series Gin. Five years ago he was out hunting with Gins grandfather Shiro. They were attacked by the bear Akakabuto who ripped off Goheis left ear. In return Gohei shot out the bears right eye. Even though Gohei is a skilled hunter he loses Shiro because of the monster bear and after a few years Riki.
