Nanso Satomi Hakkenden: Inusaka Keno and Inuzuka Shino: The Crossed-Dressing Heroes.

October 21, 2026

In Hakkenden: Fiction and Reality, a movie in 2024, some have pointed out, that Inuzuka Shino (Actor: Watanabe Keisuke) and Inusaka Keno (Actor: Itagaki Rihito) are the most outstanding in Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors.

More thinking, both Mr. Watanabe and Mr. Itagaki have gotten ahead from Kamen Rider Zi-O.

In original work too, Shino and Keno have common points below:

・They had raised up with female-dressing.

・Their names are derived from Japanese rivers. (From Shinano River or Keno/Kinu River)

However, Keno is very beautiful people suitable to female-dressing, but Shino isn't very suitable to it.

According to Fusehime Yashiki (https://fusehime.la.coocan.jp/), a homepage of thinking about Hakkenden, it seems that Keno and Shino have a bad relationship.

It seems, that they have sense rivalry each other because they had raised up with female-dressing commonly.

On the other hand, in my projects,

"Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors"

"Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi/The Eight Dog Warriors",

Itou Makoto and Nishizumi Miho are acting as Inuzuka Shino.

And

Yuuki Rito and Darjeeling are acting as Inusaka Keno.

Miho and Darjeeling are fated rival, because they clash in the last part of Girls Und Panzer des Finale, and Miho has had suffer twice bitter loss by Darjeeling.

About Yuuki Rito in To Love Ru and Itou Makoto in School Days too, they have a common point below:

・Their birthdays are commonly Oct. 16th. (I think it's matched to Itou Hirobumi's birthday)

Someday, by PixAI, I want to generate animations,

that Miho as Shino and Darjeeling as Keno are battling by living body.

and

that Rito as Keno and Makoto as Shino are battling too.

Casting of "Harem Protagonists as Hakkenshi" and "Garupan Captain Group as Hakkenshi" is below.
