Hokuto

is a talking dog that appears in the anime and manga series of Metal Fight Beyblade.

Anime
Hokuto also takes the role of the guardian of Koma village: whenever strangers enter the city, he calls out to them with his serious voice and tells them to leave the place immediately. In general, Hokuto is supposed to be the 'voice of reason' and an overall adviser, even though Madoka is unable to resist petting him for the cute dog he is... and he succumbs, naturally.

Manga
At the beginning, Hokuto is a mysterious figure who wears a long cloak to hide his real identity. He takes care of Ginga when he is too exhausted after both his battle against Kyouya and his encounter with Daidouji. He leads Kenta and them to his wooden house to shield them from the rain.

But as danger arrives, he reveals who he really is : a dog. He uses a Launcher Grip to launch his Libra DF145BS at the enemy in order to protect Ginga while he is sleeping. Somehow, he has the ability to speak.

Hokuto has always been a loyal companion to the Hagane family. Many things lead us to believe that he was there to help Ginga after his father's death.

During Battle Bladers, Hokuto gets discriminated because of the fact he is a dog, and he gets kicked out of the tournament, letting Mizuchi advance due to involuntarily forfeiting the match.
