Description
Riki (Akita Inu) is Takeda Gohei's best hunting dog. He is also Fuji's mate and Gin's father. On a hunt searching for traces of Akakabuto, Riki and Takeda Gohei get attacked by the bear. They both get badly wounded and cling to life by hiding in a cold crack in a cliff. Takeda Gohei tries to make Riki eat by chopping off his own leg and forcing the meat down Riki's throat, but Riki only throws the meat back up again. As Akakabuto appears, Riki attacks him despite Gohei's orders of leaving him alone.
Daisuke appears with Gin on a snowmobile to help out, but only ends up making matters worse. Takeda Gohei manages to drag Daisuke into safety in the crack, but the day-old Gin is on his own outside, watching his father fight for his life. Riki is badly wounded, and uses his last ounce of strength to throw Gin to safety. Riki is too exhausted to drag himself to safety, and Akakabuto throws him into a deep crevasse.
After that, Riki lost his memory, and only recalls the hate for Akakabuto, causing him to start the Ou army. As Gin joins the group, Riki doesn't remember having a son. Gin and the other dog's leave the Ou mountains to gather dogs, while Riki stays in the mountains to fight off Akakabuto's minions. When the final battle gets closer and the dogs return, Riki tries to use an ambush, all by himself on Akakabuto, but it turns out to be Akakabuto's son, Gaki, who is serving as a substitute . Several more bears appear, and they tear down trees and throw them on Riki, burying him alive.
By a miracle, Riki survives, but is late for the final battle. He has regained his memory, and rushes to help his comrades and son. The wounded Smith can't bear to see his friends get killed, and finds Takeda Gohei to get him to shoot Akakabuto. Takeda Gohei shoots Akakabuto, but the bear survives. He gets up and strikes Gohei. Riki throws himself at Akakabuto to protect his son and owner, but is caught on the demon bear's claws. He tries again, but Akakabuto is ready, and catches him between his paws. Gin kills Akakabuto with the Zetsu Tenrou Battouga, which Riki has been taught by the wolf, Fuuga ( in the manga, it is said Riki prohibits Gin of using the battouga because if the wolves find out they maybe come looking for Fuuga). Riki has been too badly wounded by the bear, however, and as he finishes his last words to his son and the first sunrays hit him, the great Leader of Ou takes his last breath and closes his eyes.

Riki in Ginga Densetsu Weed
Riki only appears as a spirit in the final battle against Hougen and in the credits as a character in the sky in the anime. In the manga he appears more both as a spirit and in flashbacks. While in the anime, Riki's ghost is silent, the manga version has Riki's ghost speaking to Hougen.
