Ginro wears a karate gi-like uniform and belt. He carries his spear wherever he goes.

Personality

Ginro is the coward of the two guard brothers, albiet very full of himself and somewhat selfish. He's easily distracted by shiny things and Senku's antics, which ends with him usually working alongside his schemes.

Plot

Kingdom of Science Arc

Ginro is first introduced alongside Kinro, blocking Kohaku and Senku from entry into the village due to their policy on outsiders. Senku, unamused by this, blows bubbles with a bar of soap, causing the two of them to freak out until Chrome explains what's going on.

Ginro assisted Senku in his quest to make Ruri antibiotics, helping create electricity and overcoming his cowardice to help Senku and Chrome collect sulfuric acid.

He was in on the plan for the village tournament, until the idea of becoming chief entered his head. He compromised the plan and fought Senku intending to win, but was thankfully knocked out.

Trivia

• Ginro's name can be translated as "silver wolf". This ties into his brother, Kinro's name, which means "golden wolf".

• His name contains the kanji for Silver (銀, Gin) and Wolf (狼, Rō) and put together mean Silver Wolf, in keeping with the fact that all other members of Ishigami village have names referencing metals and crystals. His being the reference to the chemical element Silver, its elemental symbol is Ag and atomic number is 47.
