Interestingly, Kai Ken pups are solid-colored. They only develop a brindle coat as they grow.
Kai Kens are keen, highly alert hunting and companion dogs. Medium-sized, well proportioned, robustly built and very muscular, Kai Kens share the characteristics of other dogs living in the mountainous regions of Japan: strong legs and especially well developed hocks.

Kai Kens are descended from medium-sized dogs that used to be found in Japan. They were established around the city of Kai in the Yamanashi prefecture, a mountainous region. They were used to hunt wild boar and deer. They have a strong inclination to form a pack, which is felt to be one of the reasons the breed has remained pure. Their brindle coat is one of their distinctive features. Kai Kens were declared a Natural Monument in 1934.
