Shinta

Shinta is a wolf yōkai from the northern tribe, and younger brother to Kai.

In the Story
When the northern wolf demon tribe fell under attack from a vicious badger demon, only Shinta and Kai were able to survive. Kai was injured while protecting him from the demon, prompting the arrival of the badger's master, Byakuya of the Dreams, an incarantion of Naraku. Shinta was taken hostage, so Kai would be forced to take Koga's jewel shards and use them as ransom payment.

When Kai broght Koga himself back to Byakuya, Shinta was sent off by Byakuya with a moth demon; it released vast amounts of demonic energy, luring Moryomaru to it. Shinta was caught by Moryomaru and almost eaten by him; however, Kai and Koga saved him at the cost of Kai losing the shard Byakaya gave him.

In the last episode of the Final Act, he and his brother attend Kōga's wedding with Ayame.

Apperance
Shinta appears to be the equilovent of a human between the ages of 10 and 5. He has short, bluish-black hair and black eyes; his eyes are similar to that of a doll. He wears fur like all wolf demons, but has a hood with the shape of a wolf's ears on it. He ties his fur at the waist with a black belt, just like Kai.

Personality
Being young, Shinta has yet to learn the ways of the wolf demons, acting mostly like a normal scared child. He looks up to his brother, always believing in him.
