Daisetsusan no Yuusha Kibaou

Born in the Daisetsu mountains to a hunting dog and an escaped circus wolf, Taki loses his family to the bear Gon. Sanae takes him in and raises him with affection, but a human home cannot silence his wild instincts.

As hardship shapes him, Taki develops the courage of a dog and the wary strength of a wolf. The mountains call him toward a life of his own and an eventual confrontation with the bear that shattered his early world.
