Shiro Sugimoto

Shiro Sugimoto was a Japanese traveller who searched the Himalayas for the Tibetan Yeti sometime in the 1980s, along with two Australians Bruce and Angela Healy. Feeling unwelcome at the monastery, they continued their search. At night Shiro was killed and the Great Intelligence took over his body, unknown to the others. Lama Gampo appeared the next day, urging the surviving travellers to turn back, but when they saw a Yeti, they went in pursuit. It was a trap and the Great Intelligence revealed itself and its desire to better understand the world. Gampo arrived and rescued them. Summoning the real Yetis, he defeated the Great Intelligence and wiped the memories of the two Australians. (COMIC: Yonder... The Yeti)
