Description
Akatora is a Kai Ken with red fur and black stripes. He has brown or yellow eyes. The differences between him and his brothers include his fur color and him having all the ears and eyes left.

Akatora is the eldest brother of Churatora and Kuratora. He is very brave and loyal. Akatora and his brothers where abandoned by their master when they were about a month old. They were attacked by a dreadfull snake, but they wild temper saved them and they killed the big snake. Later on, they were attacked by a marten (Tin), who wanted to eat them. However, the Great Dane Ben (later a platoon leader) come to aid and chased the marten away.
Years later, they meet Ben again, and this time with his platoon. They don't recognize Ben and attack him and his group, and they don't stop until they realize that Ben is the one who saved them.
The Kai Brothers then join Ben's platoon and they tell him about Moss. After this they meet other strong dogs like Akame and Benizakura, and they also get stuck in a ditch with the rest of the pack. The pack returns home One night before the final battle.
During the battle against Akakabuto, his eye is gouged out by the bear's claws. Thinking that there's only one way to fight when your eye is gone, Akatora jumps at Akakabuto and takes his revenge by biting the remaining eye of his enemy, permanently blinding him. Akatora had lost too much blood from being impaled on the giant bear's claws images.wikia.com/ginga/images/… (in the manga, part of his chest and his legs were torn off messily from Akakabuto's claws images.wikia.com/ginga/images/… , and he died a hero.

Akatora in GDW (manga, anime) had appeared in flashbacks throughout the story, each time showing him ripping out Akakabuto's eye. He was shown in episode 5 (When Kagetora speaks to P4), in episode 12 (When his brother, Kurotora, confronts the Evil Husky), and in episode 13 (When the narrator describes his courage being in his nephews, Shouji, Buru, Dodo, and Shigure). Akatora is told as a hero among the Kai generation and in the animé, he's among the soldiers in the ending credits, along with his brother Chutora. He also appears as a ghost along with the spirits of the Ohu Soldiers helping Weed in the final battle with Hougen.

In Hokkaido arc, Akatora appeared with the deceased Ohu Soldiers in the dying Moss' dream welcoming him into Heaven. Moss accepts the offer and goes with them.
