Bakin
CharacterBakin is Rohan Kishibe's small pet dog, appearing in Thus Spoke Kishibe Rohan and The JOJOLands. A sad-looking little puppy in a name-tag collar, he keeps the famous mangaka company through a strange visit to a shrine and a mirror that reveals a mysterious man.
Appearance
Bakin is a small puppy who wears a collar stamped with his name. Though his face tends to look downcast, he is still capable of showing happiness and a range of other feelings.
Personality
He behaves much as any dog would, brightening with delight, for instance, when Kyoka Izumi pets him.
History
In the episode Hot Summer Martha, Bakin watches the rain beside Rohan, then nearly eats from a food container that shatters into glass shards when Rohan drops it, until Rohan stops him. The two head out on a walk to the Mutsukabe shrine, where they examine a sacred tree and discover a mirror that shows the reflection of a man. In The JOJOLands, he turns up only briefly, glimpsed on Rohan's tablet while Jodio Joestar is using it.
