- "Ursus thibetanus. The moon bear. Endangered now, but I found this one in Shikoku."
- ―Murakami to Alexandra Reid[src]
Shikoku is the smallest and least populous of the four main islands of Japan.
History[]
One of the Hand leaders Murakami had a trip to Shikoku for another hunt for the Asian black bear. Murakami tracked him for ten days and entered into a fight with him in the forest. The bear nearly killed him, but Murakami killed him first and brought his corpse to New York City to dissect him.[1]
