[[]]

Shah'do is a Tibetan Mastiff[1] breed pet dog owned by Ahlbi Ur'gaid. He typically sits atop Ur'gaid's head.

Name[]

  • Japanese - Mitamaru (ミタマル):
    • His Japanese name "Mitamaru" (ミタマル) is a portmanteau of "mitama" (御霊), which means "sacred spirit", and the suffix "maru" (丸), which is often given to young, male children.
  • English - Shah'do:
    • His English name is a play on "shadow"; this may be a reference to the way he follows Ur'gaid around like a shadow.
  • French - Cha'poh:
    • His French name is a play on "chapeau", translating to "hat", referring to the way he sits on Ur'gaid's head.
  • German - Mini'tamah

Development[]

  • The mark on Shah'do's forehead resembles a mitamah, possibly to fit with his Japanese name "Mitamaru".
  • Shah'do was created after the first draft of the scenario of The Foreign Turnabout had been completed.[2]
  • Shah'do was initially given the temporary name "Nui", which is the word for "dog" (inu) backwards. The name started to catch on, but Takeshi Yamazaki insisted on a more "proper" name.[2]
