Family
Kinomi's mother got hit by a car when she was just a pup, but Mayumi nursed her back to health. Those who love her sometimes call her "Kino-chan".

Appearance
Kinomi appears to be part Akita Inu and part Shiba Inu as she is smaller than and Akita but larger than a Shiba Inu. Her fur is mostly cinnamon with pale beige and a single white spot on her chest in the shape of a berry.

Bio
Kinomi had a rather rough begining, born as a stray she was orphaned when her mother was struck by a car. Fortunately, Mayumi and Momiji found her and she got her first glimpse into just how warm and nice life could be. However, she had a cruel encounter with Akito when she was barely a year-old. Mayumi had worked up the courage to take her to see if Akito would let her stay. Unfortunately, Akito was less than happy to see a stray mongrel. He roughly picks the dog up, ignoring Kinomi's yelps and Mayumi's protests, throws the dog off the porch...severely injuring her.

Mayumi cried over her, until Hatsuharu appeared and gently scooped up Kinomi saying they needed to get help for her. After getting advice from Hatori, Kinomi was kept hidden until she healed. Since that experience, she avoids Akito especially when Mayumi is away at school. When Mayumi is away she can't often be found with either Hatsuharu, Momiji, or Shigure with the latter being a favorite because of dog spirit.

Abilities and Forms
She's just your average dog.
