''Inuyashiki'' is a {{seinen}} {{manga}} created by Hiroya Oku (author of ''Manga/{{Gantz}}'') and published on Evening magazine by Kodansha. It tells the story of the eponymous protagonist, Ichiro Inuyashiki, an elderly {{salaryman}} who is shunned by his family and co-workers. One day, while walking out with his pet dog, he is caught in the blast of an explosion caused by an unknown entity, and finds himself reformed as a cyborg. He then decided to use his power to do some good and save people, but as it turns out, he wasn't the only one affected by the explosion.

* LeftHanging: The aliens. [[spoiler: Their only apparence is when they rebuild Shishigami and Inuyashiki, then they are completely gone from the story. Questions about who they are or what they were doing in the earth are left unanswered.]]

* NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: Averted in the manga, as Donald Trump is clearly stated to be the USA president. Downplayed in the anime, as the president's name is not mentioned, but he still looks a lot like Trump.

* BeautyIsNeverTarnished: Played straight for most of the series with Shishigami, due to bullets and such just bouncing off his skin. [[spoiler:Averted, however, when Inuyashiki and Shishigami fight each other-Inuyashiki rips off the back piece of Shishigami's head casing, and one of his arms]].
