Shanka

Shanka is a minor character that appears in episode 33 of Rockman.EXE Stream. She is a childhood friend of Dingo who first appears in a museum when Dingo (as well as Narcy Hide and VideoMan.EXE) attempts to steal a totem pole that belonged to their village back from them, not knowing the totem was going to be returned and that Shanka was there on behalf of the village to bring it back. In the past, the two spent most of their time together until one day Dingo disappeared just before the marital arts tournament to decide the village’s next leader began, Shanka stating he left because he hates losing.

Shanka was present when a fake VideoMan sets off the anti-theft barrier around the totem and collapses, revealing a decoy that spewed a smokescreen. The totem is stolen, and Shanka, Manabe, and Netto Hikari pursuedown the tunnel that was left, finding Dingo’s tomahawk on the way.

She is present when Netto, Manabe, and Seishin Kifune were going over the items the Neo WWW had stolen, and joins Netto and Charlie Airstar in trying to trying to find the criminals. The three hit multiple campsites before Dingo uses a method of writing “SOS” with campfire smoke that the two once used when they were young, and find them. Shanka uses Dingo’s tomahawk to free him, but FlashMan uses his Spark Arm to cut the rope ladder her and Netto were hanging off of, though she is saved when Netto cross fuses.

She then aids in helping Dingo save the totem by using the his tomahawk attached to a rope to bind Narcy Hide’s hands, keeping Narcy from operating VideoMan and helps him pull the totem from the resulting fire from destroying the machine’s control chip.

She is there when Dingo confesses to his crimes for trying to steal the totem, and later in the airport asks why he left the village. Dingo reveals he didn’t leave because he would have lost the marital arts tournament, but because of Duo’s comet.
