Lol . I don't know much about hybrids, but, l like ur matches. I can't wait to see what others come up with.
Seeing that I own pedigree dogs and compete with them in various avenues like agility, sheep work, and know breed personalities well, I'm gonna say Akihito is more like a Belgian Tervuren, (I have two of them) full of energy, high drive, loyal, easily trainable in the right hands, but disastrous in the wrong hands.
Asami is a Doberman, fearless, fast, smart and streamlined, a good breed for protection or bite work.
Mikhail is a long haired German Shepherd, also good for protection and bite work, smart and gutsy, along with a nice shaggy coat :)
Fei Long is a Saluki (Shami), long limbed and elegant, clean, and extremely fast, can sometimes be aloof with strangers.
Kirishima is a Border Collie, that guy sees everything, extremely smart, good at problem solving and very diligent worker with drive and intensity.
Kirishima's breed is perfect. He always seem to be "herding" Akihito. I think Suoh is a Great Dane.
Well, I see Asami as a huge Black Jaguar and Akihito as a European Wildcat. Mikhail is like a bulldog, and Fei like an Afghan. I agree that Kirishima is like a Border Collie, and I think Suoh is like a Wolfhound.
On second thought, Aki is more like a Pallas Cat ...
I almost said dobie for Asami too. I just liked the build of the husky better. I am not familiar with the Belgian Tevuren, but they sound cool. I will look them up.
I just saw some pics of a pallas cat on Tumblr. I had the odd desire to take one home (domestication, shomestication--it's cute!). The eyes are a little crazy though.
Those are all great, but I think I'd say cat for Fei too. He doesn't strike me as dog-like at all. Though we all know he's really a dragon. ^^
Behold,the mighty dragon cat:

I saw a great drawing of a cross between a Chinese dragon and a cat on Tumblr, but now I can't find it.
Perfect. Now I know what I'll get as my new pet...I think I'm in love.
So, speaking of hairy things, if you had to match characters in VF with particular breeds of dogs or cats, who would you say matches what?
I think Aki is like a Yorkie. Cute and perky--you just want to pat him on the head.
Asami is a Siberian Husky--just a but short of a full wolf.
Mikhail is a wolf.
Fei is a cat--a Persian long lair.
Kirishima is an Australian cattle dog.
What do you guys think?
