History
Before the events of Film: Red, Girash was an ordinary giraffe transformed by the power of the Uta Uta no Mi inside the Uta World. He performed as part of Uta's concert staged on the island of Elegia. He first surfaced in promotional artwork for the film's tie-in album, where he and Blion appeared among the five collectible cards packaged with the physical release under the Animal Band label rather than each member's full name.
