Tokimune was an Akita dog very similar looking to Gin. Akame hired him to be Gin's substitute when the Great Leader himself couldn't be in Ouu. John, Smith, and Tesshin also knew about him and the other substitutes', but Gin didn't. After some years, hunters started to hunt the dogs because they thought the dogs were starting to attack humans, but it was P4 who caused the trouble. One day, Tokimune and one of each of John's substitute, named Tony, and Akame's substitute and some others were hunted and barely got away. They ran until Tokimune heard something and saw a puppy.
