Reika is a pet Akita dog. Her father was an Ohu soldier and she helps Gin by getting him food when when he is returning from a mission to Ohu, as they are the same breed and a companion to her father. Unfortunately, Hougen’s soldiers spot her and follows her. She is saved by the Great Pyrenees, Hiro and tells him about Gin. Later on, she is taken as a hostage by Hougen to make Gin and his group surrender. Reika feels horrible. She feels that it was her fault the Leader of Ohu got caught. Reika tries to escape Hougen but gets caught once more.

After a while, John and Hiro come to save her. As John decides to go back and fight Hougen, Reika stays with Hiro and together, they start searching for Weed. Soon they find him and Reika joins his group to find more dogs to defeat Hougen.

In the final battle, Reika tries to drown Hougen by pushing him into a river. She falls in it herself too and almost drowns but is rescued by George (Jerome in the anime). After Hougen’s death, Reika falls in love with Hiro and, together, they have four pups: Kin, Tama, and two who are unknown. (Kin and Tama's names combined is Kintama, which means balls).
