sho rai
The newest addition to the family, his name is Sho Sugino Rai (the second Rai) and will follow in a long line of Rai’s. He is a red / white tabby Maine Coon (like Brandy Rai) & was born on March 20th, 2007. The basis of the name comes from Valiant Comic’s Rai series:
Sho Sugino, the Second Rai
In the year 3216, seeking to thwart Grandmother’s champion, the Anti-Grannies had somehow managed to obtain the Blood of Heroes - the very plasma that coursed through Bloodshot’s veins nearly twelve hundred years before. Once a suitable host could be found, the blood’s power could be used to give them control over any electronic intelligence - including Grandmother’s. Sho Sugino, the second Rai, was summoned to defend Japan, protect Grandmother, and defeat the terrorists. He succeeded but after handing over the blood of heroes he was abandoned in the Lost Land by Grandmother.
*Note* - I brought Truffle & Sho in for a routine checkups on 10.24.8 and Sho weighed in @ 12 lbs 4 ounces. He’s got a lot of growing still to do, likely in the 16 or 17 lbs range.
