friends. As Tsume attempted to flee from the battle, he was cast out by his pack and the alpha male attacked him, leaving him with a large X-shaped scar across his chest, branding him as a coward. Tsume eventually traveled to Freeze City where his self-loathing over his actions caused him to refuse to befriend others. Out of all of the pack, he is closest to Toboe, whom he refers to as "runt". After the young wolf is accidentally killed by Quent in the OVA (Quent dying soon after), Tsume cries over his body. Tsume is the last of the pack to remain standing with Kiba in the final battle with Darcia in the OVA. He is killed after Darcia rips open his side and legs. Before dying, he tells Kiba to go on and, as soon as Kiba leaves, whispers, "Let's meet again, next time, in Paradise..." before letting out a death howl. At the end of the OVA, Tsume is seen in his human form riding a motorcycle in a city. Kenta Miyake felt Tsume was all about appearances and notes that Tsume always speaks in a harsh manner such as talking down to Kiba, casually dismissing Toboe, and seems to ignore Hige all together. However, he also felt that despite Tsume's seemingly tough nature, that he was the most naive of the pack and the most timid. Miyake felt as if he was Tsume's father, "kindly watching over him" and he used those feelings to guide the way he depicted the character. Voiced by: Akio Suyama (Japanese); Joshua Seth (English, Bandai Visual dub) Hige is a Mexican wolf and the third wolf character to be introduced in the series. He seems to know how to function the best in human society, and gets along well with all the members of the pack. He tends to use his intuition more than the others. He starts off as a laid back joker, though he matures and becomes tense as the series goes on despite this, he still displays his comedic side. He has a superior sense of smell to the rest of the pack. Before Hige met Kiba, he was brainwashed into being Jaguara's lapdog by hunting and leading troops to other wolves. The collar he wears is actually a tag/transmitter that causes him to be under constant surveillance. It also appears to be the tag that controlled him,
