Legoshi

Legoshi often translated as Legosi is the main protagonist of the Japanese manga and anime series Beastars. Legoshi is an 19-year old gray wolf. He is the grandson of Toki and Gosha, and son of Leano and Miyagi.
He is voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi in the Japanese version of the anime, and by Jonah Scott in the English version of the anime.
==Personality==
Legoshi is calm, soft spoken, polite, and humble gray wolf. In the beginning of the series, Legoshi was an outcast who generally avoided attention and interaction with other individuals. This led to him becoming a socially awkward individual. Behind his deadpan demeanor and facade, lies a considerable amount of self-loathing. For years, his self-awareness as a large carnivore and knowledge of his familial nature made him feel isolated from others and made him choose to keep to himself. Consequently, this made him underestimate his own value, crippling his self-esteem. His sullen and antisocial attitude is also the result of his very miserable childhood: after his mother Leano, a wolf/Komodo dragon hybrid, took her own life when he was just twelve years old, Legoshi blamed his Komodo dragon grandfather, Gosha, for being the source of her reptile genes that resulted in her body developing scales and drove her to isolate herself from society and finally kill herself. After Gosha gave him a choice whether to enrol to a boarding school - Cherryton Academy - or stay with him, Legoshi furiously refused the latter and decided to go to Cherryton without a second thought - though he would later sorely regret it - leaving Jack the only person to care for him. For the next 5 years, Legoshi hasn't seen or spoken to his grandfather, which - along with the tragedy of losing his mother - took a deep emotional toll on him that he couldn't remedy until well into his journey to adulthood, when he decided to leave the school, reconnect with Gosha and come to terms with his past and heritage. 
Despite his reserved nature, Legoshi is quite capable of being very imposing and assertive when the situation calls for it. He is quite gifted physically, with a lean build and a jaw strength of 295 kg, which is 95 kg higher than the average for his species. Although he is rather naive and air headed, he is also quite stubborn and impulsive in regard to his own convictions, even in the face of confrontation. 
Legoshi, despite being awkward and unable to read the atmosphere often, has demonstrated a great level of maturity compared to his peers when talking to others and is very patient. However he realized how many friends he has in Episode 23.
==Appearance==
Legoshi is an anthropomorphic 19-year old gray wolf who has an imposing appearance with how tall he is and how he tends to hunch over. Most of his body is covered by a bluish-gray fur coat while his face, neck, and chest fur have a cream color, he has a skinny furry belly. Legoshi is usually seen wearing his Cherryton Academy school uniform, which in cold seasons consists of a white shirt, an indigo vest, dark gray tie, gray pants with a darker vertical line pattern, and brown loafers. He has five fingers and five toes. During summer, he wears a blue polo shirt, replacing the uniform shirt, vest and tie. It is later revealed that Legoshi has some slightly atypical characteristics due to his ancestry. In spite of this, he mostly resembles a common pure-blooded gray wolf, though certain features that he inherited from his grandfather such as his facial structure, eyes, and mannerisms are visible. Before becoming a teenager, Legoshi used to have large irises. He also has three scars on his left eye.
==Skills and abilities==
Detective: Legoshi was able to solve Tem's murder by himself, without any form of help from either a police detective or anyone else. When he got attacked by the culprit behind and got his eyes covered, Legoshi kissed his mouth to identify his saliva. He also discovered that the killer is a male when he asked Juno to open her mouth to see the difference between the mouth of a carnivore male and female. Later, he drank the bottles from the male students' locker to recognize the taste of the saliva, but he discovered who was the killer when he found a letter threatening him inside the locker.
Strength Without Meat: Legoshi is able to gain strength without having to eat meat. It was possible for him due to the training he had with Gohin. By capturing the savage carnivores, wearing a muzzle, he was not allowed to bite in the training and controlling his instincts, inside the room with huge meat in front of him. He lost the strength in his mandible, because the strength now have passed for his arms. He may have inherited it from his Komodo dragon grandfather Gosha. However, the strength doesn't work against big animals. During his fight with Riz, he had to eat Louis's foot to defeat Riz.
