Description
Smith is a French spaniel mix with black-and-white fur.
He has brown eyes and yellow collar (in anime he has brown collar) . He lost his collar somewhere between Ginga Nagareboshi Gin and Ginga Densetsu Weed. Smith is often comical, sarcastic and jokes around. He is good friends with Gin, though he underestimated him at first due to his age.
Smith was Riki's 3rd platoon leader. Gin discovers the wild dog pack one night and decides to join them in defeating Akakabuto. Along their journey, they meet the three kai brothers, Moss, in which Smith and Gin learn that Sniper and Hyena are traitors. This is why Smith is quite close to Gin, since Gin saved him from falling down the large waterfall as Sniper and Hyena chased them to keep them from disposing their devilish plan. Though Smith told Gin to save himself, Gin refused to let go of Smith and saved him. Smith and the others continue finding other dogs like Akame and helps defeat the Koga clan, and Benizakura, the strongest dog in Japan. They return one night before the final battle and prepare to fight.
Smith was to have a large role in the battle with Mosa, but was injured by one of the bears during the fight with Madara and is replaced by Hakuro.
Being wounded, Smith is left with other wounded and Cross (and her puppies). He reveals his secret feelings for her, believing that a bear is coming and is ready to die to protect her. However, the "bear" turns out to be the hunter Takeda Gohei. Smith leads him to the battle field where Akakabuto is, hoping that the man will shoot the bear. Smith survives the final battle and stays in Ouu mountains with his friends.
When the wolves cause conflict, he is the only soldier to stay in Futago Pass to protect it. He meets Fuuga the wolf and is scared at first though the wolf is actually an ally and does no harm.
Smith is later terrified to find out that Gin has allied with wolves. He stays in Ouu while most other soldiers go to fight Gaia's soldiers.
Later, he is again terrified to find out that few wolves have joined Ouu's forces. Moss scolds at him and he eventually accepts the wolves as species and as his comrades.
