   Tokita Ohma (十と鬼き蛇た 王おう馬ま, Tokita Ōma; "Ohma Tokita"), also known as The Asura[note] (阿ア修シュ羅ラ, Ashura), is a man who loves to fight. He entered into the Kengan Association, fighting for the Nogi Group. During the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Ohma fought for Yamashita Trading Co. with Yamashita Kazuo as his employer. Two years later, he entered the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament as a representative for the Kengan Association.

   Ohma is a handsome tan-skinned man of above-average height and has an extremely athletic build. His most notable trait is his mop of messy, dark hair that has been compared to seaweed. In addition, Ohma possesses a narrow gaze that exudes both confidence and general indifference.

   He usually wears a black and grey t-shirt, blue jeans and gold-white sneakers. In his first appearance, he wore a red and white hooded jacket that had white Christian crosses on both sides of the sleeves.

   His first set of fighting attire was a pair of black boxing shorts that are red at the bottom. During the Annihilation Tournament, Ohma wore light-blue colored boxing shorts with black spats underneath. He would also wear this in the Merger Tournament. Personality

   Ohma is a rough, yet well-meaning individual. He was initially rather arrogant, which often surfaced whenever he fought. During his fights, he was condescending and often belittled and provoked his opponents.

   A defining trait of Ohma is his lust for battle; ever eager to fight against those who are strong. Despite this love for fighting, he will not fight those that refuse to fight him. Such was the case when Kazuo and his son had done so on separate occasions. That being said, he was also short-tempered and can be quite violent. He was willing to physically assault Nogi Hideki, his employer, when the latter refused to make him Nogi Group's representative fighter, before being stopped by Hatsumi Sen.

   Ohma was not without his good traits, however. He is less aggressive and even protective to those that support him, such as when he protected Akiyama Kaede when she was trapped together with him in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament preliminaries.

   After meeting Karla, he was shocked after learning her motives, additionally running away from her. She is the only one who made fear due to her desire to mate him.

   After regaining his memories he becomes more open and less arrogant to the point where he is capable of casually speaking with other fighters and able to speak with Karla without running away.

   As he was born and raised in The Inside, Ohma lacked basic education on simple facts and was also illiterate. He often called people by their full names; in the manga, their names are spelled using katakana rather than with kanji. The notable exceptions are when Ohma refers to Tokita Niko and Kiryu Setsuna.

   Kengan Ashura

   Ohma challenged Komada Shigeru to take his spot as an affiliate fighter. Irritating Komada with his perceived arrogance, the two began fighting, but Ohma quickly dispatched him much to the shock of Kazuo Yamashita, who was watching it all unfold. With Kazuo asking for his name as he left, Ohma introduced himself before asking the same. Ohma then asked if he wanted to fight but, with Kazuo rejecting the challenge, Ohma simply left. A few days later, Ohma was called into Nogi Hideki's office, where he was appointed as their new affiliate fighter with Yamashita Kazuo appointed as his manager.

   Left on his own for twelve years and without a name, the youth that would become Tokita Ohma did everything he could to survive the harsh reality that was The Inside. On one fateful day, the youth ran back to his residence after stealing from the yakuza. However, the yakuza came after him with one of their enforcers, Ando Jiro. Despite the youth's good showing, Ando proved to be the superior combatant. Seeing no other option, the youth grabbed Ando and jumped out of the building they were in, to Ando's horror. Impressed by his sheer resolve, the yakuza's other enforcer, Tokita Niko, saved the youth's life and offered to teach him his Niko Style. He also gave him the name "Tokita Ohma", derived from both the Tokita and Shichiohba Wards of The Inside, where he took residence at the border between.[10]

   In the following years, Ohma trained with the Niko Style. He would later defeat a powerful man in a corner of The Inside under Niko's directions.[11] Afterwards, Niko informed him that he was ready to learn the style's secret technique, though noted that it would be a dangerous task. The two traveled to Gakigahara Forest where Niko explained that Ohma had to land a single hit on him while wearing weights on his wrists and ankles. Niko stated that he won't be holding back, with the first session ending with Ohma getting badly beaten. After the fight, Niko gave him a break, with Ohma believing he can rest until sunrise. Niko's sudden return dashed this idea away as he attacked his surprised pupil

   A style created by Gaoh Mukaku, taught to him by the Niko that raised him. This style is made up of four different katas, or forms, each of which must be fully mastered for the Niko Style to be complete.[30] By the time of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament finals, Ohma had completely mastered "both" Niko Styles to an extreme degree.

   The Advance is a special technique and the 'other' half of the Niko Style. By overclocking his heart, Ohma's speed, acceleration, torque increase to the point that it also increases his damage output. At its maximum output, his speed and power drastically increases but, because of how it works, also prevents Ohma from using certain techniques of the Niko Style; the Adamantine Kata especially. If he attempted to do so, he could risk rupturing blood vessels at level of output.[31]

   Before his fight against Kuroki, Ohma gained perfect control over the Advance, allowing him to regulate its output at will. By lowering the output of the Advance down to a certain level, Ohma became able to use it in tandem with the Niko Style with much less strain on his body.[31]

   Ohma is a powerful fighter whose strength, speed and endurance were far above any average human's; he was an excellent fighter in all statistics.

   During the two years of recuperation, Ohma was taught the Kure Clan's Family line of techniques, which were designed with combat sports in mind. These techniques are what allowed him to fight in practically point-blank range against Rolón. Ohma practiced these techniques by sparring with members of the Kure Clan, such as Raian, Hollis, and Reiichi.

   As well as being a very self-sufficient person, Ohma enjoys eating meat with his least favourite food being tomatoes

   STATUS: Alive AGE: 16 (Kengan Ashura)[1] ~18 (Kengan Omega) ~20 (Kengan Omega Part 2) BIRTHDAY: December 13th[1] HEIGHT: 154cm (5'1")[1] WEIGHT: 45kg (99lbs)[1] GENDER: Female AFFILIATIONS: Kure Clan OCCUPATION: Assassin College Student RELATIVES: Click to reveal relatives Kure Fusui (Unspecified relation) Kure Erioh (Great-Grandfather) Kure Hanjiro (Father) Kure Henzo (Unspecified relation) Kure Hollis (Unspecified relation) Kure Horio (Unspecified relation) Kure Hoshiya (Unspecified relation) Kure Kuro (Unspecified relation) Kure Raian (Unspecified relation) Kure Reiichi (Unspecified relation) Kure Sarura (Brother) Kure Yakusha (Mother)

   Kure Karura (呉くれ 迦カ楼ル羅ラ; "Karura Kure"), also known as The Succubus (天てん魔ま, Tenma; lit. "Heavenly Demon"),[2] is the great-granddaughter of Kure Erioh, and a member of the main branch of the Kure Clan.

   Karura is a beautiful young woman with a deceptively defined physique, a small frame and a moderately sized bosom. She has long black hair with several bangs that hang over her forehead and two long lengths of hair that drape either side of her face, a small dainty nose, full lips and the telltale sclera and pupils of the Kure Clan.

   Initially, she wore a parka, dark-blue shorts with wrappings around her legs and ankle-length brown boots with buckles. After her identity was fully revealed, she later switched to a dark-purple sailor fuku uniform with wrappings around her legs.

   Two years after the Tournament, now a college student, Karura's newer outfit was a vest and turtleneck, alongside a coat and beret. Personality

   Karura is an extremely curious and independent individual, going off to explore wherever she wants on a whim. Upon sensing Tokita Ohma's great strength, Karura has become infatuated with him to stalker-like levels, bluntly telling him that she wanted his children. However, she has also grown to be close friends to Elena Robinson, showing concern for her and her brother Mokichi, and expressing rage at her own relative Raian for nearly killing him.

   Plot

   Kengan Ashura

   Concealing her appearance under a fluffy hood, she listened on as Kure Erioh mused on who to send to the Kengan Annihilation Tournament to represent Under Mount Inc.

   Onboard the S.S. Kengan, she noticed Tokita Ohma when she walked by him. Later, having tracked Ohma down, she attacked him to test his strength. With the two pulling their final strikes, Karura pulled in close to Ohma and bluntly told him that she wanted his babies, shocking everyone present. Hearing this, Ohma promptly put her down and took off. Before she could chase after him, her relatives found her and brought her back to her great-grandfather where she told him of her infatuation.

   Arriving at Ganryu Island with the rest of the Kure, Karura quickly struck up a close friendship with Elena Robinson, Mokichi's younger sister, and the two hung out together on the first day. Karura was also seen chasing Ohma that day.

   Karura is mentioned to be in college and still plans to marry Ohma, much to Kure Erioh's despair and Ohma's annoyance. While Ohma, the whole Kure Clan and others were having breakfast at Kure Village, she appeared with her mother, father, brother and with Kure Fusui. As soon as she arrived, she took off her clothes and jumped towards Ohma (as usual for Karura) while he was talking to Katahara Retsudo about going back to Tokyo.

   Karura is a deceptively powerful combatant, being considered a "deviant" even by the standards of the Kure Clan that she hails from.[3] Karura has also been noted to be very agile and light on her feet, capable of effortlessly evading Lihito's swipes and even some of Tokita Ohma's attacks.[4] It has been noted that she is a very powerful combatant and if there were a women's division in the Kengan matches, Karura would reign supreme.[1] Kure Clan, Secret Technique: Removal

   For a relatively young member of the Kure Clan, Karura is able to release a staggering 85% of her latent power. It is the second-highest rate known among the living members of the Kure Clan, second only to Raian's.[5] It's unknown whether this release rate increased in the two years after the Annihilation Tournament, as she was only 16 at the time.

   STATUS: Alive AGE: ?[1] BIRTHDAY: July 27th[1] HEIGHT: 165 cm (5'5")[1] WEIGHT: ?kg[1] GENDER: Female AFFILIATIONS: Yamashita Trading Co. Nogi Group (formerly) OCCUPATION: Secretary for Yamashita Trading Co. Secretary for Nogi Group (formerly) RELATIVES: Akiyama Sakura (Older Sister)

   Akiyama Kaede (秋あき山やま 楓かえで) is a secretary working for Yamashita Kazuo at Yamashita Trading Co. who formerly worked under Nogi Hideki at the Nogi Group

   Kaede is a beautiful young woman with bra-strap length or mid-back length (when let down as seen in Chapter 168) blonde hair that is tied in a ponytail with bangs swept to the right side and some parts swept a little to the left side while she has a chin-length hair strand hanging on the right side as her bangs, brown eyes and her most notable feature is her big bust.

   She wears red oval-shaped glasses and a long sleeve white shirt with a coral-pink blazer that is fully buttoned.

   In Story, back when Kaede started working as Nogi Hideki's secretary, her hair was styled in a bob similar to Akiyama Sakura's hairstyle. Personality

   While Kaede seems like she has a cold persona, the truth is that she is just socially awkward.[1] However, she usually holds a professional demeanor about her and is quite polite to those she interacts with. She appears to have a complex about her weight and age, getting noticeably irritated when the topic is brought up and chastising people who bring attention to it. ADVERTISEMENT

   Plot

   Kengan Ashura

   Kaede was first introduced as Nogi Hideki's secretary when Yamashita Kazuo was summoned to his office to integrate him into the world of the Kengan matches. On the day of Tokita Ohma's Kengan match debut against Lihito, Kaede observed Ohma's first victory alongside Nogi and Kazuo. A day or so later, she delivered Ohma's earnings from the fight to him and joined him and Kazuo for food and drinks; Kaede asked Ohma why he was willingly entering the dangerous Kengan matches with Ohma giving a confident response.

   Two days later, Kaede watched Ohma's fight against Kaburagi Koji, where she was one of the people in the building that succumbed to The Mosquito noise that Kaburagi had laid out. Five days after, Kaede was with Nogi as he finalised a deal with Shikano Gen of Gandai. After the conclusion of Ohma's fight with Sekibayashi Jun, Nogi and Kaede arrived at the venue where Chairman Katahara's surprise appearance left her rooted to the spot from being overwhelmed by his monstrous aura.

   When Kaede was employed as Nogi's secretary, she greatly disliked his habit of making important decisions with no prior notice.[2] Kaede is a fluent speaker of English, French, German and Spanish.[1] Kaede's preference in men are the broad-minded quiet ones

4. #4Kanoh Agito

   Keys: Kanoh Agito

   STATUS: Alive AGE: Unknown[2] BIRTHPLACE: China BIRTHDAY: December 2nd*[note][2] HEIGHT: 201cm (6'7")[3][2] WEIGHT: 128kg (282lbs) (Kengan Ashura)[3][2] 130kg (286lbs) (Kengan Omega)[4] 131kg (288lbs) (Kengan Omega)[5] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Kengan Association Dainippon Bank (Formerly) OCCUPATION: Freelance Fighter Affiliated Fighter (Formerly) Bodyguard (Formerly) FIGHTING STYLE: Custom-Made Style Formless Niko Style (Partial Mastery) KNOWN MATCH WINS: 163[6][7] KNOWN MATCH LOSSES: 2[8][9] TOTAL ASSETS ACQUIRED: ¥7,706,083,000,000

   Kanoh Agito (加か納のう アギト, Kanō Agito) is the former affiliate fighter for Dainippon Bank, for whom he fought as The Fifth Fang of Metsudo (五ご代だい目め滅めつ堂どうの牙きば, Godaime Metsudō no Kiba). He represented the company during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament; widely regarded as the most powerful fighter in the tournament and the favorite to win. While he was active, he was #1 in the Kengan affiliated fighter ranks. Following his loss, Agito stepped down as Fang and retired as a fighter. Two years since then, he lived in the United States, but returned to compete in the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament.

   Agito is a tall, highly muscular man with black, slicked-back hair. He lacks eyebrows, instead possessing strong eyebrow ridges, complimented with stern, narrow eyes with dark lines underneath and a chiseled facial structure. Ever since his defeat to Kuroki Gensai, Agito has a small, star-shaped scar on his forehead, as a constant reminder of his first defeat.

   Like the Bodyguards that serve Katahara Metsudo, Agito is most commonly seen in a formal black suit with a black tie. When fighting, he wears a black, skin-tight bodysuit. Two years later, Agito has adopted an all-black biker style.[11]

   When he was a teenager Agito had short black hair and a constant apathetic expression on his face. Personality

   Agito has two facets of his psyche. One is stoic, haughty, and highly clueless (as evidenced by his confusion over Okubo Naoya's Ultraman references),[12][13] while the other, which only comes out when he uses his Formless style, is ruthless and sadistic. When the latter personality comes out, which is a twisted manifestation of his repressed animal instincts,[14] he grins ear-to-ear, and his pupils seem to disappear. This change in personas is most prominently highlighted whenever he changes the way he refers to himself, switching from singular to plural pronouns.[note]

   Agito is also very proud, and always insists on besting his opponents at their own game e.g. if a fighter specializes in blows, he will exclusively use blows. However, in desperate situations in which Agito is driven and cannot fight back at all (highlighted in his fight against Kaolan Wongsawat), he will switch to a more suitable fighting style, damaging his pride. After the fight against Kaolan, he threw away his pride and focused on winning.

   Originally an orphan from mainland China, Agito was found and made a student by The Other Niko Tokita. Twenty-three years prior to the events of Kengan Ashura Agito was sealed by him in a chamber along with the rest of The Other Niko's students as part of a human Gu ritual.[16] Fighting and killing his way to the end, he was dug out and discovered by Katahara Metsudo, who educated and adopted him, becoming one of his Bodyguards.[14]

   At some point during the selection process to be the next "Fang of Metsudo", Agito fought Minoru Takayama and tore open his right cheek, giving him a permanent Glasgow smile.[3]

   Eight years prior to the events of Kengan Ashura, Agito faced Takeshi Wakatsuki for the first time,[17] going on to defeat him and giving him a lasting injury to his Achilles tendon in the process.

   Some time before the Annihilation Tournament, Agito fought against Tokumichi Tokuno'o. Despite Nitoku giving him an extremely difficult fight, Agito eventually defeated Nitoku, forcing him into a six-month rehabilitation due to the wounds sustained in the fight.[18]

   Agito represented Dainippon Bank in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. He fought Naoya Okubo in the first round and defeated him after initially being an even bout. After his fight with Okubo Naoya, he was challenged to a fight by Ohma Tokita. However before he could properly retaliate, Ohma was subdued by Minoru and Masamichi Omori who warned him not to fight outside of the matches.

   Agito Kanoh is an incredibly powerful all-round fighter who is known as the Emperor of the Kengan matches. He possesses immense physical stats on top of nearly unmatched fighting capabilities and a keen tactical mind. His attacks are notably powerful, his kicks particular; Naoya Okubo imagined Agito's kicks like a meat cleaver[12] and Sen Hatsumi likened his kicks to a naginata.[19] His power was praised by the likes of Kure Erioh, the first Fang, who considers him his worthy successor.

   His durability is also highly impressive, managing to reach the semi-finals without taking much lasting damage despite taking numerous heavy hits from opponents as strong as Ohkubo Naoya and Kaolan Wongsawat. In his battles against Kuroki Gensai and Kaolan Wongsawat, he displayed an incredible capacity for taking damage, especially to the head, without being knocked out.

   By the time of the Real Champion Tournament, he is considered by Ohma to be equal to both Arashiyama Jurota and Rolón Donaire.

   Evolution (進しん化か, Shinka) is Agito's chief defining ability as stated by Metsudo.[20] More specifically, he is able to adapt to his opponent's fighting style after fighting them for enough time,[2] and put together a new style specifically tailor-made to counteract his opponent in the middle of a fight.[20] This essentially has the effect of Agito growing stronger with every fight he takes part in. His fighting style and "evolution" can sometimes backfire on him, however; because his wide range of moves, when fighting a combatant who is a master in multiple styles, it is hard for him to choose a perfect way to counter. In his fight with Kaolan, Agito was unable to counter his combination of boxing and Muay Thai and was forced to go into defensive.[21][22]

   Formless

   The Formless stance is a key technique of Agito's arsenal. Agito does not have one singular fighting style, but rather a wide repertoire of moves that he can draw from at any time. Insisting on besting his opponents at their own games, Agito will often fight them using their own methods.

5. #5Kure Raian

   Keys: Raian Kure

   STATUS: Alive AGE: 21 (Kengan Ashura)[1] 23 (Kengan Omega) 25 (149 +) BIRTHPLACE: Kure Village, Japan BIRTHDAY: July 26th[1] HEIGHT: 188cm (6'2")[1] WEIGHT: 94kg (207 lbs)[1] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Kure Clan Under Mount Inc.(Formerly) OCCUPATION: Affiliated Fighter Assassin FIGHTING STYLE: Kure Clan Style RELATIVES: Click to reveal relatives KNOWN MATCH WINS: 1[2] KNOWN MATCH LOSSES: 2[3]

   Kure Raian (呉くれ 雷らい庵あん), also known as The Devil (魔ま人じん, Majin)[5] and The Devil King (鬼神魔王{{{2}}}, Kishin Maou) is an assassin from the infamous Kure Clan. He represented Under Mount, Inc. as their affiliated fighter during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament and was one of the three assassins in the tournament. Two years later, he fought in the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament, representing the Kengan Association.

   Raian is a muscular man of above-average height. He has short, spiked light blond hair with a small widow's peak and a notch on his hairline's right side. As a member of the Kure Clan, he has dark scelera eyes. He bears a passing resemblance to the current clan patriarch, Kure Erioh, during his youth.

   His combat attire during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament consisted of a dark pair of fighting shorts a white cross. In the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament, he wears a similar pair with its colors inverted.

   In regards to casual wear, Raian developed a preference for sportswear-based fashion two years after the Annihilation Tournament, wearing unzipped track jackets with a tank top undershirt and matching track pants underneath. Personality

   Raian is a violent and psychopathic man who cares for little more than domination, violence, and killing. He does not seem to bear any remorse for his violent actions, and in fact, appears to relish in it. He speaks aggressively and often with profanity. He also does not seem to enjoy or care for camaraderie or festive social events, seeing as how he derisively dismissed his clan's farewell party for Ohma Tokita as "kumbaya shit."

   In his first appearance during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Raian was testy and hostile towards just about everyone around him, even his own clan's patriarch. Raian often went out of his way to provoke fellow tournament participants Lihito or Mikazuchi Rei. He always made it clear that he would kill all of the tournament participants to prove that he was the "strongest".

   Raian never hesitates to taunt, insult, and provoke people to get a rise and stir conflict, such as when he ambushed Lihito in the restroom and when he mocked and derided Mokichi Robinson throughout their match in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

   According to Kure Karura, Raian is considered the black sheep of his clan, most likely because of his psychopathic and ruthless attitude. Erioh himself said to Katahara Metsudo that Raian is "irregular" among his fellow clan members and described him as a "demon who slaughters as many people as he wants".

   Despite this, Raian can act level-headed and composed to a degree, especially two years after the Annihilation Tournament, demonstrating a more condescending side of his personality that contrasts his indiscriminate brutality that tends to come out when he is sufficiently motivated — or provoked.

   Alongside Erioh, Raian observed Ohma's first Kengan match against Lihito.

   On the S.S. Kengan, Raian found the situation audibly humorous when Kure Karura returned and revealed she had a crush on someone. With Erioh incensed by her falling for Ohma, Raian laughed his head off before telling his grandfather to calm down as he was releasing his "restraints". Later, Erioh confirmed with the group that Raian would represent Under Mount, Inc. in the upcoming tournament, causing Raian to exclaim excitedly that he would kill everyone.

   On the first day of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, just before it was time for him to go out for his match, Raian physically harassed Lihito in the toilets. Covered in blood, Raian came out to face Mokichi in the first round. Despite being evenly matched at the beginning of their fight, Raian soon used the secret Kure Clan technique "Removal", inflicting a no-holds-barred beatdown upon Mokichi, before ruthlessly breaking the priest's neck.

   Raian is an absolute physical powerhouse—even for a Kure—and he takes full advantage of it with his ferocious fighting style. He is also one of a handful of Kure clan members in its history to have achieved the rare 100% Removal rating, though Raian is still immensely powerful without it. Kanoh Agito notes that Raian is one of two people that could match Takeshi in terms of strength, the other being Julius Reinhold.[6] His strikes are described to be extremely heavy—his punches in particular—only being outclassed by Wakatsuki's in terms of raw power according to Ohma.

   Even without using Removal, Raian is extremely durable and has a staggeringly huge level of endurance, suffering only minor outward damage during his fight with Mokichi Robinson. Later, during his fight with Tokita Ohma, he was able to absorb a truly astounding amount of damage and easily return the favor, even after the latter tapped into Advance. During Hayami Katsumasa's attempted coup against the Kengan Association, he was capable of surviving several direct hits from bladed weapons by the likes of two elite members of Hayami's Guardians. Raian even got pierced in the shoulder by a crossbow bolt, yet none of those attacks significantly damaged him. Tapping into his Removal allows him to absorb even more punishment, seeing how he managed to withstand and even overwhelm Ohma in a berserker state from fully being consumed by Advance. However, Raian would not come out of that slugfest unharmed.

   Even over two years after the Annihilation Tournament, his extraordinary durability and endurance is still as impressive as ever, as seen during his fight against Edward Wu and his "spares", Solomon Wu and Fabio Wu. Though Raian was savagely beaten and knocked down several times, he managed to recover quickly each time and turn the tide of the battle with nothing but his psychotic bloodlust and Removal spurning him forward, much to Edward's surprise.

6. #6Kaolan Wongsawat

   Keys: Kaolan Wongsawat

   STATUS: Alive AGE: 28 (Kengan Ashura)[2] ~30 (Kengan Omega) 33 (Kengan Omega)[3] BIRTHPLACE: Thailand BIRTHDAY: December 12th[2] HEIGHT: 187cm (6'2")[4][2] WEIGHT: 91kg (201 lbs)[4][2] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Kengan Association Yato Trading Co. (Loan Fighter) Garo Kingdom of Thailand OCCUPATION: Affiliated Fighter Bodyguard of Rama XIII Professional Boxer FIGHTING STYLE: Boxing Muay Thai RELATIVES: Unnamed parents (Deceased) Unnamed siblings KNOWN MATCH WINS: 6+[5][6][7] KNOWN MATCH LOSSES: 3[8][9]

   Kaolan Wongsawat (ガオラン・ウォンサワット, Gaoran Wonsawatto), also known as The Thai God of War (タイの闘とう神しん, Tai no Tōshin), is a renowned boxer and current heavyweight champion across four different organizations, as well as the personal bodyguard of Rama XIII. A nak muay who made the move into the professional boxing scene, Kaolan has made it as the second best Pound-for-pound boxer in history. During the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, he participated as the affiliated fighter for Yato Trading Co. Two years later, he entered the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament as a representative for the Kengan Association.

   Kaolan is a highly-built man of Thai descent with long straight black hair tied into a ponytail that hangs over his left shoulder, thin discerning eyes, and a small circlet around his crown. Despite being a heavyweight boxer, Kaolan possesses a smaller frame compared to most of his contemporaries.

   His attire in the underground matches consist of a pair of boxing shorts, emblazoned with the image of a Garuda, a South-East Asian symbol of justice, royalty and the Dhamma. As he makes his entrances, he is also seen wearing a traditional boxer's robes, his musculature still visible. Personality

   Kaolan is perpetually calm to the point of being expressionless. However, this bellies an incredibly analytical mind that allows him to notice details other fighters would miss.

   His most obvious motivation is, in truth, derived from his extreme patriotism to Thailand and loyalty to his ruler, Rama XIII. In fact, Kaolan would have not taken part in the Annihilation Tournament at all without Rama XIII's command, disparaging the tournament for being a mere freak show in comparison to the purity of conflict in something like boxing. Despite this, he came to greatly respect Kaneda Suekichi's determination and willpower during their fight, calling him a true warrior.

   Contrary to the prior, however, Kaolan has one arguably self-centred desire: the desire to fight a truly powerful foe to the death (as long as the foe isn't Saw Paing).[10] ADVERTISEMENT

   History

   Kaolan started his fighting career as a nak muay 20 years ago when the King of Thailand, Rama XII, noticed his talents,[2] soon earning the name "Thai God of War" after becoming the greatest Nak muay.[11] At the age of 15, Kaolan joined the annual cross-border match between Myanmar and Thailand. There, he encountered Yoroizuka Saw Paing for the first time and defeated him by judge's decision in their fight. Since then, Saw Paing proceeded to constantly challenge him to a rematch, even crossing the border to do so.[12][10]

   One day, Kaolan began to question muay Thai's weakness: it largely dismissed the use of fists to attack. Because he was the King's bodyguard, it would be disadvantageous for him to fight opponents who used other kinds of combat, so Kaolan took up boxing, incidentally right after Carlos Medel's retirement[13], and trained in it to overcome muay Thai's weakness.[11] After doing so, he became the heavyweight champion of all four major boxing organisations in just four years.[14]

   Kaolan is an extremely powerful fighter with boxing as his base martial art, having an out-fighting style with extremely fast flicker jabs as his speciality. Kaolan's physical abilities are top-notch, being able to throw heavy ad-hoc punches from any position, even unstable ones;[15][16] Kaolan's punches alone can knockout the majority of opponents. Like Kaneda Suekichi, Kaolan is also capable of predicting his opponent's movements, though this seems limited to opponents that utilize a boxing style.[17]

   When fighting normally, he only uses his boxing abilities in the "Hitman" or the "Flicker" style, as this is usually enough to dominate his opponent; his boxing skills are arguably the best in the world, proven in his fight with Kanoh Agito when he dominated the latter while both were using boxing, despite Kaolan having a height and reach disadvantage.[18] However, when fighting to the best his abilities he skillfully combines boxing with muay Thai.

   Kuroki Gensai (黒くろ木き 玄げん斎さい; "Gensai Kuroki"), also known as The Devil Lance (魔ま槍そう, Masō), is a renowned assassin in the criminal underworld and the affiliated fighter for Motorhead Motors in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

   Appearance

   Kuroki is a powerfully imposing individual with a large mass of black hair atop his head with an equally voluminous beard, and stern, hardened facial features. In combat, he wears a black gi.

   At around 35 years of age, Kuroki's hair was relatively short, and only had a short stubble where his beard would later grow. Personality

   Kuroki is a generally stern and taciturn individual, who does not make idle chatter and only speaks when necessary, avoiding being wasteful with his words and his time. Despite adamantly refusing to accept apprentices, he seems to be a natural teacher and tends to teach by example in the middle of combat, even though he denies this.

   Because of his tremendous experience and skill, he has very little patience for the arrogant, especially those who are weak. He very rarely brings his full force to bear against weaker opponents and pulls his punches before killing blows. However, in the rare case where he is angered, his wrath is fearsome and relentless.

   Kuroki is not above being arrogant and prove it to his opponent, like in his fight against Kiryu Setsuna when he drew an imaginary circle and limitated himself in that spot just to show to Kiryu how much stronger he is than him. ADVERTISEMENT

   History

   Taught by the previous master of the Kaiwan Style, Shimochi Kazufumi, Gensai trained and conditioned both his mind and body in his pursuit of mastering the assassination art. Sometime after his master had passed away, Gensai was visited by Tokita Niko, who had come in search of knowledge regarding Gaoh Mukaku. Upon meeting him, Gensai recognized how powerful Niko was.

   At one point in his youth, Gensai met and fought Rolón Donaire to a draw.

   During a meet up with close friend Taira Genzan, the latter told him about wanting to revamp and modernize the Koei Style because he had found himself a promising student.[6]

   Kuroki had also clashed with and killed Mikazuchi Rei's father.[7]

   Power & Abilities

   A master karateka of the Kaiwan Style,[10] Kuroki Gensai is an extremely powerful combatant. The High Priest of the Daisen Temple remarked that Kuroki was the avatar of a Wisdom King, adding that he had never seen anyone as powerful as him in his 105 years of life.[8] Thanks to his sheer skill and foresight, Kuroki's defenses are nearly impenetrable. During the Tournament, Gensai only ever took damage either deliberately, or when his opponent exceeded his initial expectations, such as against his fights with Agito and Rei. Kuroki is also knowledgeable of other martial arts, thanks to having known and befriended many masters throughout his life.

   Thanks to the extreme conditioning of the Kaiwan Style, Kuroki possesses hands that are as tough as steel[12] and fingers capable of punching through solid steel.[13] His joints are also extremely strong and durable; they are at times solid enough to be used as a spear. To instantaneously break his fingers is nigh-impossible

8. #8Kiryu Setsuna

   Keys: Kiryu Setsuna

   BIRTHPLACE: The Inside, Japan BIRTHDAY: September 13th[1] HEIGHT: 180cm (5'11")[1][2] WEIGHT: 75kg (165lbs)[1][2] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Kengan Association (Formerly) Koyo Academy Group (Formerly) Death Fight (Formerly) OCCUPATION: Underground Fighter (formerly) FIGHTING STYLE: Koei Style Niko Style (Partial Mastery) Gaoh Style (Basics) RELATIVES: Unnamed father (Deceased) Unnamed mother (Deceased) KNOWN MATCH WINS: 3+[3][4] KNOWN MATCH LOSSES: 1[5] TOTAL ASSETS ACQUIRED: ¥25,072,000,000[2]

   Kiryu Setsuna (桐き生りゅう 刹せつ那な, Kiryū Setsuna; "Setsuna Kiryu"), also known as The Beautiful Beast (美び獣じゅう, Bijū), is a mysterious individual whose history is closely intertwined with Tokita Ohma's. He was the affiliated fighter for the Koyo Academy Group during the most recent Kengan Annihilation Tournament. Two years after the Tournament, he suddenly reappears interacting with Gaoh Ryuki.

   Appearance

   Kiryu is an effeminate-looking young man with long black hair that falls down his back and frames his face in two long bangs, gentle livid-colored eyes and he has an incredibly defined musculature.

   Two years after the Tournament, Kiryu sports bob-cut black hair reminiscent of the style when he was younger. Personality

   Outwardly, Kiryu is a very polite and friendly person,[6] belying his true obsessive nature directed towards Tokita Ohma, with an irrational hatred towards Tokita Niko. While his obsession in Ohma initially appears to be sadomasochistic and sexual, it's more of religious fervor: He worships Ohma as a god who will give him destruction and loathes Niko as the devil who defiled his god.[7] Kiryu also suffered a severe form of psychosis due to overusing the Fallen Demon technique, causing him to hallucinate that Niko is still alive and taking the form of different people and that he must kill Niko in every form he takes.[7]

   Two years later, his personality seems to have taken an even darker turn, even after being freed from the side effect of Fallen Demon by Ohma. He now becomes interested in "grooming" Ryuki into becoming his new "God", even mentoring him in learning the Koei Style to prepare him to defeat Ohma, his old "God".

   Kiryu was born in the Inside as organ stock for his wealthy biological father and spent his entire life beaten, detained, and unwanted. Before his captors harvested him, a young Tokita Ohma killed his captors because he believed them to be edging in on his turf. Believing Ohma to be a god that would destroy him for his sinful nature, Kiryu chased after him and remained within the Inside so he could find "god" again. Selling himself into child prostitution to gain money and connections, he soon earned the favor of one of the most powerful men in Goyu Ward. Going to the "Outside," Kiryu found and killed his biological father, stealing his money and using his connections to find "god" again. Two years after their first encounter, Kiryu learned of Ohma's location in the Inside and ran happily to his "punishment" only to find that Ohma had been "defiled" by the devil, Tokita Niko, Ohma's master.[8] It was here that Kiryu met The Other Tokita Niko, who informs Kiryu about Tokita Niko as well as teaching him the Niko Style.[9] Informed by The Other Niko about Taira Genzan, Kiryu later encountered the martial artist and became his student.[10]

   Two years later, Kiryu returned to the Inside[8] and found Ohma once again. Accosting Ohma, Kiryu forcibly activated the Possessing Spirit after it was bestowed upon him by The Other Niko, causing him to violently rampage.[9] Ohma nearly killed Kiryu but was stopped at the last minute by the arrival of Tokita Niko.[11] With Niko stopping Ohma's rampage, Kiryu then watched as Niko fought The Other Niko.[12]

   It was very soon after this that Kiryu's master Taira Genzan challenged and killed Niko when they were young. Then, during the ten years, Kiryu and Genzan fought in the Death Fights. In this time, before Ohma could exact revenge on Kiryu's master, Kiryu killed him first, intentionally earning Ohma's wrath.[1

   Setsuna is a powerful and dangerous combatant, who was able to effortlessly defeat Ozu Toshio, an undefeated Kengan fighter,[14] and later, onboard the S.S. Kengan, he easily defeated two of Metsudo's Bodyguards, men who are renowned for their impressive strength.[15] With his natural aptitude for martial arts, Kiryu has proven himself to be a skillful fighter, able to pressure people of Ohma and Kuroki Gensai's level in battle.

   Setsuna is also a noted prodigy in martial arts. While it takes normal people at least eight years to complete the training needed to use Rakshasa's Palm, Setsuna managed to master it in only a year.[16]

   Kiryu proves to be a master of stealth and infiltration, as shown when he broke out of his imprisonment without alerting the Bodyguards as well as the the fact he was able to leisurely meet up with Ryuki and Akoya despite currently being manhunted by the Kengan Association ever since Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

   Setsuna uses the long-lost martial art revived by his master Taira Genzan. However, Genzan was only able to salvage two techniques before his death at Setsuna's hands. Kiryu uses the Koei Style's techniques very well, mastering them in a short time and even improving them, highlighting his fighting genius.

   Before learning the Koei Style, Setsuna learned the Niko Style from The Other Niko. While not nearly as skilled in the style as Ohma is, he can combine its techniques with the Koei Style to compensate for his shortcomings and use the knowledge he has to counter Ohma's techniques.

   Fallen Demon

   The secondary secret technique of the Niko Style is demonstrated only by Setsuna. This technique only activates whenever Kiryu is in a critical situation.[17] It allows him to react to his opponents more quickly, letting him dodge and counter attacks that would otherwise land.[18][17] However, due to the drawbacks of the technique, and the fact he's used it too much, it causes him to see hallucinations of his 'devil,' Tokita Niko, still alive and taking the form of other people.

9. #9The Other Tokita Niko

   Keys: The Other Tokita Niko

   STATUS: Alive AGE: Unknown BIRTHDAY: Unknown HEIGHT: 192 cm WEIGHT: 118 kg GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Worm FIGHTING STYLE: Niko Style Formless RELATIVES: Gaoh Mukaku (Adoptive father) Gaoh Ryuki (Adoptive nephew) Ohma's Tokita Niko (Adoptive brother) The rest of the Tokita Nikos (Adoptive brothers) Tokita Ohma (Adoptive nephew)

   This Tokita Niko (十と鬼き蛇た 二に虎こ; "Niko Tokita"), referred to as The Other Tokita Niko (もう一ひと人りの 十と鬼き蛇た 二に虎こ, Mōhitori no Tokita Niko)[1] to differentiate from the Niko who trained Tokita Ohma, is one of the Seven Nikos. He was originally the Niko known as Six, before turning traitor and forming ties with the Worm.

   The Other Niko is a muscular man with menacing and wild facial features, almost like those of a tiger. He had long light hair swept behind his head and mild beard and moustache. His most notable features were his big eyes with light irises and narrow pupils.

   In Agito's memories of him, he possessed a shorter haircut compared to when Ohma first encountered him.

   As Six, he originally sported black hair that obscured his eyes for the most part. While they were occasionally seen in spars, once he revealed his traitorous nature, they became much more prominent. Personality

   The Other Niko is a ruthless and immoral martial artist known for his constant pursuit of greater power, though his full motivations remain mysterious. He takes a pragmatic and experimental approach to martial arts: adapting, creating, and discarding techniques as he sees fit, with no particular loyalty to any tradition or style. He is even willing to discard the Niko Style he was originally trained in, though he continues to use it with great proficiency up to the present day.

   With little regard for the lives of others, the Other Niko has a particular habit of using his students as unwitting volunteers for his martial arts experiments. He teaches them dangerous, inherently self-harming techniques that he himself would not use so that he can observe the results, even if it results in their deaths. This can be seen in his planting of the Possessing Spirit within his involuntary "student" Ohma, and his teaching of the Fallen Demon and Guihun to Kiryu Setsuna and Lu Tian, respectively. The Other Niko also demonstrates a willingness to ruthlessly cull his students, often pitting them against each other in human Gu rituals that leave only the strongest alive. Ultimately, however, he cares little for even his most uniquely successful and loyal students, as he was unfazed by the death of Fei Wangfang, who had survived a Gu ritual and mastered the Other Niko's most dangerous techniques.

   Despite his ruthlessness and brutality, the Other Niko also has a cultured side, as well as a sense of discretion and practicality. He enjoys fine dining and expensive wines, and prefers not to get into fights in public settings. He even tried to pacify Kiryu Setsuna by offering him some wine right after Setsuna had tried to kill him in a restaurant with a surprise attack. He initially didn't fight back despite Setsuna's provocations, and only became angry after Setsuna shattered the bottle of wine and began using the broken bottle as a weapon against him. Even then, he was mostly angered due to the expensive, ¥1,600,000 price of the wasted wine.

   Although there is little directly shown or told of his fighting prowess, what evidence does exist indicates that the Other Niko Tokita is extremely strong, being a master of the Niko Style and proficient in it like the other Nikos. Gaoh Mukaku notes that Six unique strength is to 'notices things that the other Nikos dont'.While he didn't finish Muteba off due to not being serious about the fight, Muteba concluded that further pursuit would be too dangerous. Though he sustained significant injury in his fight with Kiryu Setsuna, the latter attributed this to an underestimation of him, and ultimately the Other Niko defeated him regardless. Niko Style

   The Other Niko is a master of the Niko Style; his proficiency with the martial art was enough to fight on par with Ohma's Niko. The Other Niko is also the creator of the Niko Style's secret technique, Fallen Demon. He eventually abandoned the Niko Style for the flaws it possessed.

   Formless

   Though it's unknown how this Niko learned or created this technique, Formless was recognized by his student, Lu Tian, as his "ultimate technique". It was the very reason that brought him to abandon the Niko Style, to perfect his technique and pass it on to whoever was able to survive the Gu rituals.

   Guihun

   Though he never intended to use it himself, The Other Niko was taught the basics of the secret technique by Edward Wu. His understanding of the technique allowed him to teach it to his students. Lu Tian is the only known student of the Other Niko who can handle the physical strain or, at least, disregard it to an extent.

    Keys: Adam Dudley

    STATUS: Alive AGE: 28 (Kengan Ashura)[1] 30 (Kengan Omega) BIRTHPLACE: Texas, United States BIRTHDAY: February 22nd[1] HEIGHT: 192cm (6'4")[2][1] WEIGHT: 107kg (236lbs)[2][1] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Boss Burger (formerly) OCCUPATION: Underground Fighter Hockey Player (formerly) FIGHTING STYLE: Brute Force Mixed Martial Arts RELATIVES: Stan Dudley (father) KNOWN MATCH WINS: 3[3][4] KNOWN MATCH LOSSES: 2[5][6] TOTAL ASSETS ACQUIRED: ¥7,640,000,000

    Adam Dudley (アダム・ダッドリー, Adamu Daddorī), also known as The Emperor (皇こう帝てい, Kōtei), is an American street fighter who represented Boss Burger during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. After the tournament, he stayed in Japan, becoming an affiliated fighter within the Kengan matches.

    Adam is a tall, muscular man with blond hair, blue eyes and a bodybuilder-like physique. He's possesses a thin waist, wide shoulders, and wide back forming a text-book v-taper. His arms are adorned with various tattoos, most notably the skulls located on both of his shoulders and the crosses down his forearms. His most notable feature is a grill on his four front teeth that have the word "FUCK" engraved in them (censored to "DAMN" in the anime adaptation).

    During his match in the Annihilation Tournament, he opts to only wear shorts. Outside of them, he often wears trousers with a black tank top and sleeveless jacket, resulting in his tattoos being visible at all times. He is often seen with a prideful expression, turning up his nose at all times towards opponents.

    Two years after the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Adam hasn't changed much in appearance with the addition of small earrings in both ears and several lines cut into his hair. Personality

    Adam is very vulgar in the way he speaks, throwing profanity into nearly every sentence that leaves his mouth. He also tends to make various sexual innuendos while talking, an example being that while he was fighting Imai he said "Enough foreplay".

    He has no hesitation in doing or saying just about anything that pops into his head, not limited to displaying his middle finger or mocking their appearance. After being defeated by Cosmo, Adam mellowed and became more respectful (while still retaining his boisterous manner of speech). Despite his love of a brawl, he shows disgust at unnecessary violence. ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    Hailing from Texas, Adam made himself famous as a street fighter, by defeating the man formerly known as the strongest street fighter in the USA, Punk Abbot.[2]

    Before this, Adam played professional hockey for the "Texas Snowmans", as the team's enforcer. This entailed him starting fights with players on the opposing team whom commit fouls the referee misses, both as a sign of retaliation and to ensure that they are sent to the penalty box. However, due to Adam's unique musculature, most notable in the developed nature of his erector spinae he was capable of knocking out members of the opposing team on the ice despite how little grip the surface gave him

    Put simply, Adam can be described as a juggernaut in terms of physical prowess with a god-given body making him a fighter with raw power despite having little-to-no tutelage in martial arts prior to the Kengan Annihilation Tournament (though he does have street-fighting experience), going so far as to be unaware (or possibly simply uncaring) of the importance of torque in creating a punch. Despite this, he has enough power to hit a man with so much force it looked as if he had been struck by a moving truck (as seen against Punk Abbot),[2] and enough physical endurance and durability to be beaten down and get back up without fail.

    His main ability is his phenomenal sense of balance, with enough strength in his legs and feet from playing ice hockey that he can actually grip the ground with his feet, crumbling it, and rise up without any other support.[8] It was noted that he has particularly well-endowed back muscles; his erector spinae muscles are remarkably strong, which increases the efficacy of his punches to the point that he can easily knock people unconscious with so little as a jab, creating punches on the fly even whilst mounted.[8] With a single punch he sent Imai Cosmo careening through the air after bouncing off of solid ground, with the accumulated damage from the fight having been felt by Cosmo for some time after their bout.[8] He has no particular strategy when he fights (as expected of a street brawler), and instead focuses on destroying his opponent with overwhelming power and is not above utilising "dirty" moves such as eye-gouges and the ilk.

    Two years after the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Adam, with the help of Imai Cosmo and Kureishi Mitsuyo, has begun learning martial arts. Adam has now harnessed his strong back muscles, allowing him to throw punches and kicks (and potentially other forms of attacking) from unorthodox and unstable positions, an ability nearly completely unique to him.[9] Cosmo noted that he had become a lot stronger since the tournament.[9] Thanks to Kureishi's suggestion and sparring with Imai, Adam has also developed his Foresight ability, demonstrated during his fight with Ryuki: from predicting where Ryuki would attack using Blink, he eventually adapted and made an attack that both prevented his Blink and dealt significant damage as well. High-Stick Shot

    High-Stick Shot (ハイスティックショット, Haisutikkushotto) is Adam's variation of an overhand.[10] Despite the attack never landing successfully, it can be assumed to be able to inflict tremendous physical damage.

    STATUS: Alive AGE: ?[1] BIRTHDAY: February 29th[1] HEIGHT: 162cm[1] WEIGHT: 49kg[1] GENDER: Female AFFILIATIONS: Magatanien OCCUPATION: Secretary for Magatanien RELATIVES: Akiyama Kaede (Younger Sister)

    Akiyama Sakura (秋あき山やま 桜さくら, Akiyama Sakura; "Sakura Akiyama") is the secretary for Magatani Juzo of Magatanien and the older sister of Akiyama Kaede who is an incredibly talented secretary [2], being greatly trusted by her boss and she has a keen eye for fighters

    Sakura is an attractive young lady with a bob of blonde hair that has bangs swept to the left side and beautiful yet droopy golden eyes with thin eyebrows. While she generally has a disembodied expression on her face, Sakura tends to pout when she is being mocked.

    She almost always wears smart clothing and dresses. Personality

    Despite holding such an authoritative position, Sakura is a surprisingly absent-minded person who often gets lost in her own world; in that sense she is the complete opposite of her younger sister Akiyama Kaede. She has been described as a person who marches to the beat of her own drum; because of this trait, Sakura unconsciously manipulates the people around her, including her sister Kaede and even Kiozan Takeru.[1] Plot

    Sakura first appeared alongside Magatani Juzo and Kiozan Takeru as the latter was getting ready to go out and fight Sekibayashi Jun. When Kiozan asked her whether his opponent was actually strong, Sakura affirmed Sekibayashi's great strength. She then watched his fight against Sekibayashi with Magatani. After Kiozan's defeat, Sakura caught on to Magatani's true reason for entering Kiozan: to knock him off his high horse in order to remove his arrogance.

    Later, after being separated from Magatani, Sakura bumped into Wakatsuki Takeshi who escorted her around until they ran into her younger sister Akiyama Kaede. They then watched the Hatsumi Sen-Chiba Takayuki fight and the remaining round 1 fights together. After the final match of round 1, Sakura was present when Kanoh Agito conversed with Wakatsuki and also when Tokita Ohma challenged Agito and was suppressed.

    She experienced the rest of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament while doing her own thing.

    Akoya Seishu (阿あ古こ谷や 清せい秋しゅう, Akoya Seishū), also known as The Executioner (処しょ刑けい人にん, Shokei-nin), is a police inspector and the captain of the 44th Riot Squad. He is also a secret vigilante that ruthlessly carries out his brand of justice.[3] He is also the affiliated fighter of Wakasa Life Insurance in the Kengan Matches and represented the company during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. Two years later, he was scouted for the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament as a representative for the Kengan Association.

    Akoya Seishu is a bulky muscular man with an angular head, sharp facial features and cheekbones, focused eyes, thin black eyebrows, and black hair gelled backward into backward-facing spikes. During his bouts in the Kengan matches, he wears a white Karate gi adorned with a black belt with black shorts, usually with a black tank-top underneath.

    His police wear consists of a white dress shirt and black trousers fastened with a leather belt.

    During his one-man police raids, he wears a full suit of bulletproof armor over a bodysuit, paired with a circular glass visor. Personality

    Akoya is a man who is driven almost entirely by his intense brand of justice. He thoroughly judges evil: no matter how seemingly insignificant the crime, even in hindsight, Akoya executes those he deems guilty without mercy. Because of how mercilessly ruthless and indiscriminate he is when executing his justice, he takes it upon Hiyama Shunka to somewhat curb his tendencies by directing his actions. Adam Dudley likened his vigilantism to Dirty Harry syndrome.[6]

    Two years later, his violent nature and twisted sense of justice have seemingly retained their intensity, with Akoya even being given a Kengan match suspension for attempting to murder his opponent in those two years.[7] Hiyama noted that through his drive to become stronger, Akoya has brought himself closer to "death".[8] His violent nature and twisted sense of justice have become increasingly disturbing to everyone. Okubo himself pointed out recruiting Akoya for Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament to be a bad idea due to his increasing insanity

    Even with all his ruthlessness, Akoya is not above having "allies" to help him. While Hiyama is a means to an end, upon evaluating him, Akoya also possesses a vested interest in Gaoh Ryuki as a potential ally. It's implied that it's due to both of them sharing a misguided bloodlust towards those they deem unworthy of life, with Akoya "executing justice" on "sinners" and Gaoh "exterminating" members of the Worm, who are nothing but "pests" to him. However after another two years, Akoya's violent nature and twisted sense of justice became worst as times goes on, as he deems anyone who spars he call evil, evil in return that must be eliminated at all cost

    Akoya uses Taiho-jutsu (逮たい捕ほ術じゅつ; lit. "Art of Arrest"), an eclectic fighting style developed for use by police officers and intended to subdue opponents.[10] As such, he is described as having the strongest defense in the Kengan matches.[11] He has a device implanted in his skull that enables wireless communication with Hiyama,[12] where she can then use her superhuman timing and analytical ability to deliver instructions and pre-programmed combos for Akoya to use. Combined with his superhuman reaction speed, which is around 74 milliseconds,[13] this enables Akoya to react to Hiyama's commands almost instantly. However, these commands act as a moral and mental restraint for Akoya, allowing him to fight without killing his opponents. Thus, if Hiyama is too slow or becomes compromised, he will quickly revert to his original merciless fighting style.

    His fighting style implements various techniques that, along with his brutality and relentlessness, psychologically break his opponents.

    After his loss to Cosmo in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Akoya began vehemently pursuing greater strength to attain the invincible "power of perfect justice." Hiyama estimates that Akoya is stronger than when he worked in tandem with her.[8] Akoya's new strategy involves pinning down his opponent under his shielding forearm because, of all tactics that include using the shield, "pinning" is the only one with no perfect counter-measure.[9] Shield

    Akoya puts his left forearm forward as if he were holding a riot shield, then uses his shielding forearm to redirect any blows away from him, taking only minor damage rather than the full brunt of the attack. However, this doesn't completely disperse the attack's force and still puts stress on his shielding forearm.[10] Despite this, Akoya's arms possess an incredible level of durability and endurance, leaving him none the worse for wear after his fight with Haruo.

    Ripper

    Ripper (リッパー, Rippā) is a technique that is aesthetically similar to Lihito's Razor's Edge, but has a different function and use. Rather than using inhuman finger strength, Akoya uses his knucklebones and a rapid rotation of his fists against his opponent's skin to cut through.[10] Though the resulting cut is shallow, the technique's true value is for Akoya to jab at the wounds during a fight to distract the opponent, giving Akoya an advantage. It is more of a harassment technique than a damage-dealing move.[10]

    Stance of Suppression

    Taiho-jutsu: Stance of Suppression (逮たい捕ほ術じゅつ 制せい圧あつの構かまえ, Taiho-jutsu: Seiatsu no Kamae):[14] A stance adapted from Kanoh Agito's stance and modified to fit Akoya's build, personality and fighting style. It is specialized for attacking in conjunction with Hiyama's commands.

    Aku Fujio (Japanese: 阿久 富士夫あく ふじお, Aku Fujio; "Fujio Aku"), who goes by the codename Agnostic Front (Japanese: アグノスティック・フロント, Agunosutikku Furonto), is an underground professional mercenary who does all kinds of dirty deeds in strict secrecy

    Fujio is a well-defined man with sharp cheekbones, focused eyes and facial hair on his chin. He typically wears an encompassing black beanie on his head, a black vest, dark cargo pants held up by a utility belt, combat boots and pyramidal knuckledusters on his fists. Personality

    Described as an "evil madman" and a "callous violence machine", Fujio is a man whose principles lie in that he will do almost anything as long as he is paid for it.[1] History

    Prior to joining Hayami Katsumasa on board the S.S. Kengan, Fujio met with the other 5 people that Hayami had hired and was thoroughly weirded out by the eclectic group of men.[2] Plot

    After being deployed by Hayami Katsumasa, Fujio went to take out his target Imai Cosmo. However, despite having done his research on the young fighter's fighting style and techniques, Fujio was unsuccessful in his attempt to steal Cosmo's position, getting knocked unconscious in the process.

    Fujio is a dangerous individual who hits quite hard (helped by the fact he wears knuckledusters) and is also not above using weaponry and other items in order to take down the targets that he thoroughly researches up on.[1] However, despite knowing about Imai Cosmo's specialty, he still fell prey to the young fighters superior skill.

    Bando Yohei (板ばん東どう 洋よう平へい, Bandō Yōhei; "Yohei Bando"), also known as The Bloody Tusk (血ち染ぞめの象ぞう牙げ, Chizome no Zōge), is an infamous convict serving a multiple homicide sentence. After being recruited by Takada Seisuke, he represented Juoh Communications as their affiliated fighter during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

    Bando is an imposing, bulky man with a powerful frame. With broad facial features, Bando has thin facial hair and a thick black beard. His black hair has severely receded since his youth, with notable male-patterned baldness. His eyes have a dead, disinterested gaze in them, and combined with his apparent lack of eyebrows and heavy eyebrow ridges, it adds to his generally dangerous appearance.

    In his youth, Bando was far leaner, and used to possess a set of long, black hair that fell past his neck and thin eyebrows.

    After his battle with Hajime, his face has a diagonal scar across it. Personality

    When he was put to the test of choosing the representative of Juoh Communications, Bando stated that he was not a hedonistic murderer, with the only reason he was attempting to gain the "rights" that were offered was so that he could finish his research. Strangely, Bando described himself as a "piece of shit" just like his opponent, when asked if he was a heathen. ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    Bando was an elite medical student who, for unknown reasons, raided Yakuza offices for three straight years. In this time, he killed seventeen people and severely injured five. After killing two of his arresting officers and severely injuring four, Bando willingly surrendered, with the whole event sparking much public attention at the time.[6][5] He was put on death row and hanged 45 times over the following 25 years, but survived each one, prompting the Japanese government to seek an extralegal form of execution.[2]

    Although Bando is not a martial artist, he is a deceptively experienced combatant. He has an incredibly dense musculature alongside great physical strength, with his feats including greatly dampening the effects of Hanafusa Hajime's Lingshu Chin Na (a martial art that target's acupuncture points) and later effortlessly snapping the man's neck.[5][8] Bando's incredible durability is complimented by his amazing endurance, being able to continue fighting adequately even after taking heavy damage, such as being slashed and impaled by (bone) blades,[9][8] having his eye poked hard enough to make it bleed,[10] being smashed into the ground repeatedly, and having his arm broken.[11]

    However, Bando's greatest weapon is his abnormal joint flexibility. With a level of hypermobility far removed from human limits, Bando is extremely flexible with his joints even having a 140° range of lateral motion.[9] As such, Bando's fighting style utilises brute force in conjunction with his incredible range of motion and abnormally flexible joints, giving him great strength both offensively and defensively. Defensively, Bando has used his abilities to dodge two of Hanafusa's fatal attacks, the first by bending his neck backwards to crush the man's fingers before they could strike his cervical vertebrae[9] and the next by shifting his spine to avoid the man's bone blade[8] and later, in his fight against Hatsumi Sen, by retracting his neck to minimise damage to his skull after being thrown down with enough force to smash the ground.[12] Offensively, Bando is capable of dislocating his joints to extend their reach and then utilising his limbs as a highly destructive whips; moving his arms like this requires delicate motions.[10] His whip-like attacks are too quick to be seen by most people's vision and carry enough force to destroy the floor of the arena with ease as well as cause instant death if it connects; survivors who saw Bando kill yakuza members and police officers with this attack mentioned that the victims' heads exploded when he killed them.[10] This arm whipping attack puts a large strain on his joints and muscles, with Bando noting that it is a high-risk move

    Keys: Chiba Takayuki

    STATUS: Alive AGE: 37 (Kengan Ashura)[1] 39 (Kengan Omega) BIRTHPLACE: Japan BIRTHDAY: October 12th[1] HEIGHT: 179cm[2][1] WEIGHT: 85kg[2][1] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Yoshitake Real Estate (formerly) OCCUPATION: Underworld "Actor" Underground Fighter FIGHTING STYLE: Imitation of other techniques KNOWN MATCH WINS: 6+[3] KNOWN MATCH LOSSES: 3[4]

    Chiba Takayuki (千葉 貴之, Chiba Takayuki; "Takayuki Chiba"), also known as The Faceless Man (顔のない男, Kao no Nai Otoko), is an underworld "actor" and an affiliated fighter within the Kengan matches. He represented Yoshitake Real Estate during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament and fought in Pool H in the Berserker Bowl preliminaries

    Chiba is a muscular well-defined man with a hairless face, cunning facial features and dark hair that is set in a very subtle middle parting and swept back.

    He has been seen wearing tight tops. Personality

    As an experienced "actor", Chiba's true personality is hard to discern as he changes his persona to suit his needs, being able to fluidly and convincingly shift his tone and mood to fit.[5] He is naturally a deceptive and conniving person, able to effortlessly make others believe his ploys. Plot

    Kengan Ashura

    First seen on board the S.S. Kengan, Chiba Takayuki observed Kaneda Suekichi playing shogi with curiosity. Then, when Kaneda suddenly left, he took the man's place, challenging and playing Okubo Naoya at shogi instead.

    In the Kengan Annihilation Tournament Chiba represented Yoshitake Real Estate, fighting Hatsumi Sen in the first round. Despite noticeably unsettling Hatsumi with his convincing claim of being able to perfectly replicate any technique he had seen before, Chiba ended up losing due to making the wrong decision of using Aikido against him.

    Chiba Takayuki bills himself as an "actor" with the ability to perfectly mimic the fighting style of any fighter that he has seen once, such as Gaolang's boxing style or Okubo's tackle technique.[5] This self-description is slightly deceptive however, as he actually requires about two hours of rehearsal for each move or combination he wishes to mimic; in addition, he can only mimic movements, not unique abilities or physical traits (such as Rihito's Razor's Edge or the Kure's Removal) and their power scales to his own physical strength.

    Before fighting Hatsumi Sen, he cleverly performed Gaolang and Okubo's skills before everyone watching; this deliberate misrepresentation of his own abilities serves as a testament to his acting skills, as it made him appear to be more powerful in his opponents' eyes than he actually was. Add to this his already large repertoire of mimicked techniques from countless martial artists (including those of deceased martial artists like Andrews Filho and Bruce Lee),[5] which he draws from flexibly and adeptly, and Chiba is as competent as a fighter as he is an actor. Apex of Acting: Copy

    Apex of Acting: Copy (演の極「写し」, En no Kyoku: Utsushi)[6][7] is the skill that Chiba uses when calling upon the large repertoire of techniques he has mimicked. Tokita Ohma commented on the skill's superiority to the Kure Clan's Copy.

    Chiba Fuson. Chiba Fusion. Fusion

    Fusion (融合フュージョン, Fyūjon) is an evolution of Chiba Takayuki's Copy ability. It merges the fighting styles of two different fighters at once. This was first used at the Berserker Bowl Preliminiaries against Gaoh Ryuki, using Kanoh Agito's Formless style and Rolón Donaire's Silat. Its effectiveness was never fully demonstrated as Chiba was promptly beaten and nearly killed by Ryuki.

    Keys: Edward Wu

    STATUS: Deceased AGE: ~47 (Kengan Ashura) 49 (Kengan Omega) BIRTHDAY: April 5th HEIGHT: 212cm (6'11") [1] WEIGHT: 171kg (377lbs) GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Wu Clan (Westward Faction) Worm OCCUPATION: Assassin Leader of the Westward Faction FIGHTING STYLE: Wu Clan Style RELATIVES:

    Edward Wu (エドワード・呉ウー, Edowādo Ū), also known as The King of Hades (冥めい王おう, Mei-ō), was the leader of the Westward Faction of the Wu Clan and an affiliate of the Worm. One of the main antagonists of Kengan Omega, Edward had a personal vendetta with the Kure Clan.

    Edward was a large imposing man with a devilish face and slicked-back, light-colored hair. Like the other Wu and Kure, he had black-sclera eyes with white pupils. Edward tended to wear loud purple animal print short-sleeved shirts with slacks, dress shoes, and sunglasses that covered his distinctive eyes. Personality

    A recipient of Wu Hei's memories and personality, Edward was both outwardly confident and extremely dangerous. He took his business with the Kure Clan very seriously, more so than his affiliation with The Worm. Edward was also quite prideful of his Clan, deeming them to be quite different if not superior to the Worm. However, he was still respectful enough to acknowledge Raian's strength, considering him, at the very least, someone interesting to have fun with.

    He didn't appear to enjoy fighting that much, at least not for its own sake, given his continually shown preference for ending fights quickly and his annoyance at how the Kure he fought kept getting back up. He also proposed to Wu Xing and Kure Erioh that they stop fighting and negotiate, suggesting that he genuinely wanted to reunite the Westward and Mainline Wu along with the Kure Clan. However, it's just as likely that he was lying, trying to get them to let their guards down or just for taunting them.

    According to the head of the mainline Clan, Wu Xing, Edward was the leader of the Westward Faction of the Wu Clan, an offshoot group who traveled to the Occident, similarly to their Kure Clan relatives in Japan. Edward and his older brother Howard Wu were of English descent.

    At an undisclosed point in time, Edward and the rest of the Westward Faction turned traitor from the Wu Clan, slaughtering many of the Wu Clan's elders, and later became an affiliate of the Worm. One of Edward's victims was Wu Xing's beloved mentor, who would later seek vengeance against him.

    At some point, Edward taught the basics of Guihun to The Other Tokita Niko since the latter wanted his students to learn it. Lu Tian was the only one who proved capable of using the technique, though Edward himself didn't know who he was.

    Edward was a very powerful individual with a known body count consisting of many members of the main Wu Clan, with Muteba stating he's just as strong as the Other Tokita Niko, if not stronger. His combat prowess quickly matched and exceeded assassins of Erioh and Wu Xing's caliber, even while they were armed. Even when both heads and Raian were using Removal against him, he could still keep up. As a testament to his abilities, it took the cooperation and coordination of three elite Kure combatants and the heads of the Kure and Wu to kill him, with Raian being able to hold his ground and deal the final blow only after Edward had been weakened by a poisoned knife putting a hole in his neck.

    Even for a Wu, Edward possessed a terrifying degree of strength, smacking Raian several meters away without any effort, and not just keeping up with, but physically overwhelming the 100% released joint Kure-Wu effort without even releasing his own power. Guihun

    As a member of the Wu Clan, Edward could release his latent power and free his body from his brain's limiters. His mastery over the technique was so deep that he could even teach its basics to The Other Niko, an outsider to his Clan. Edward's Guihun release rate is 100%, bringing his already absurd physical might up to the level he could overwhelm released Erioh, Xing, and Raian before they could react.

    Huisheng

    Edward possessed Wu Hei's ego through this technique as the head of the Wu clan. Despite despising working under others, even himself, he could still work and fight in sync with his 'spares'.

    Elena Robinson (エレナ・ロビンソン, Erena Robinson), is Mokichi Robinson's younger half-sister who supported her big brother in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament as an onlooker

    Elena is a beautiful young woman with flowing upper-back length blonde hair that has chest-length hair strands hanging on either side, gentle blue eyes, a deceptively defined physique and a small frame.

    She tends to wear dresses that goes down to her thighs, and stockings that match. ADVERTISEMENT

    Personality

    Elena is a gentle and sweet individual who is generally very happy, especially when she's around her older half-brother Mokichi. She has also grown to be close friends to Kure Karura. She's known to be very kind as well, showing care for Mokichi and Hanafusa Hajime when the two "died." History

    Not much is known about Elena except that she met her older half-brother Mokichi Robinson, who ran away from their father when he was 14, before she was born. Because of her and the time they spent together, Mokichi eventually cleaned up his act and became a priest.

    Furumi Heihachi (古海 平八, Furumi Heihachi; "Heihachi Furumi") is the CEO of Furumi Pharmaceuticals, a member of the Kengan Association, a fellow member of the Four Dragons along with Nogi Hideki, and a lifelong friend, father-figure and employer of Wakatsuki Takeshi. He is considered a revolutionary who is dissatisfied with the way the Kengan Association was being run

    Furumi is a portly individual with a round chubby face with generally round facial features including a round nose and round eyes. He has thick black eyebrows and a thick black Jewfro.

    He is almost always seen wearing a smart formal business suit. Personality

    Furumi is a casually jovial individual in general. He is a very compassionate person who acts on his sense of duty;[2] this can be seen when he mentioned that as he runs a pharmaceutical company, he will treat anyone regardless of who they are, even if they are a criminal on death row.[3] Much like many of the Kengan Association members, Furumi is very composed, casually conversing with Dazai Yukio despite being threatened.[3] He describes himself as an "active fatty", but is concerned about his non-stop weight gain.[1] History

    At the age of 28, Furumi first met Wakatsuki Takeshi where he indirectly taught him how to control his strength by letting the boy hit him. As a result of the strike, Furumi was hospitalized for 6 months.[4] The day he left the hospital, he went to play catch with Wakatsuki but ended up getting hospitalized again for a further 2 months.[5] The next time Furumi left the hospital, he went bowling with Wakatsuki but ended up spraining his ankle, needing two weeks to recover.[6]

    At the age of 41, he took over from his uncle and became the CEO of Furumi Pharmaceuticals.

19. #19Gaoh Mukaku

    Keys: Gaoh Mukaku

    STATUS: Deceased AGE: 100 BIRTHPLACE: China BIRTHDAY: July 24th HEIGHT: 203 cm WEIGHT: 154 kg GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Dragon Tribe Worm (Formerly) OCCUPATION: Affiliated Fighter (Formerly) FIGHTING STYLE: Gaoh Style ("Creator") Niko Style (Creator) Long Clan Style RELATIVES: Long Yi (Grandfather) Gaoh Ryuki (Adoptive grandson) Tokita Niko (Adoptive son) The Other Tokita Niko (Adoptive son) Tokita Ohma (Adoptive Grandson) The other Tokita Nikos (Adoptive sons)

    Gaoh Mukaku (臥が王おう 鵡む角かく, Gaō Mukaku; "Mukaku Gaoh") was a mysterious martial artist who claimed to be a master of the Gaoh Style, and later founded the Niko Style. He was also the adoptive grandfather of Gaoh Ryuki. In reality, he was originally known as Long Xiu, the sole survivor of the Dragon Tribe that was wiped out by Shen Wulong. Ever since, he was hellbent on enacting his revenge against Wulong and his 'successors'.

    Mukaku was a powerfully imposing individual, with a bulky muscular frame and an obviously battle-worn body and face littered with scars. He had a mat of hair atop his head, thick distinctive eyebrows, cauliflower ears and thin stubble above his lip and on his chin. Gaoh typically wore dark bottoms and wrapped his stomach in bandages (essentially creating a rudimentary haramaki) with a loop of bandage wrapping over each shoulder.

    In Ryuki's memories of him, Mukaku was much older than when he was training the Tokita Niko's. He had grown out a goatee, and his eyes had grown weary, either from age or something else. His two scars and eyebrows remain very much the same however.

    In his full first appearance in Omega, he is seen a little chubbier and wore a tatterred, sleeveless kimono and a kasa. While he was training the Nikos, his hair hadn't gone grey yet, and sported a bushy mustache. Personality

    On the surface, Gaoh Mukaku seems like a mellow but joyful old man who cares for his disciples. He also shows a comedic side like when he was shocked to know that Katahara Retsudo was Katahara Metsudo son and not his grandson.

    In reality, he's an immensly cold-hearted opportunist. Perhaps born out of witnessing Wulong slaughter his entire tribe, Mukaku would grab any advantage he could, no matter who got harmed or killed. He saw not only his disciples, but even his adoptive grandson Ryuki as a means to an end, not caring if they die or not. Back in the day he would even use his comrades as shields to survive.[2] His other most notable trait was his massive grudge against Wulong. Despite this grudge, he's also painfully aware that he can't ever beat him in a straight fight. In one of his conversations with Ryuki, he admitted that he knows that all things he had done were awful. If he died, then everything he had done would be for nothing. At the very least, he trusted that if he did die, Ryuki will carry out his vengeance in his stead.

    Mukaku's life was filled with abandoned plans. He always sought the strength needed to take on Wulong, but lacked the heart necessary to go through with them the moment a setback occurs. His motivations for fighting was simply to survive and kill Wulong. ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    Long Xiu was a member of The Dragon Tribe, who had followed Shen Wulong alongside the Westward Faction and the Worm. They were the descendants of Long Min, a legendary hero inside the Chu Kingdom of China. One day a war broke out between The Dragon Tribe and Shen Wulong due to his decision to clone himself. This ultimately led to the tribe's destruction, with Xiu only surviving because he decided to not fight him, even when he desparately wanted to.

    Mukaku was a powerful martial artist who never was defeated in battle, despite battling constantly over thirty years using the Gaoh Style. He later created the Niko Style, showing immense mastery of the style. He also shows proficiency in the Long Clan Style, knowing even a secret technique:Dragon's Maw Fist. Even at a hundred now, he shows no opening in battle, proving to be a deadly force with each strike meant to kill instantly.

    In his youth, Mukaku alongside with rest of his Wowang's comrade-in-arms was each considered to be worth a thousand man in battle, as if they were the "Five Kings". His syndicate was well-trusted by the Head of the Worm, enough to operate independently while crushing all enemy syndicates standing in the Worm's way.

    Mukaku's physical power was displayed in full force in his first appearance in the series, when he completely obliterated a high ranking Worm agent's skull with a simple overhead punch that sent the man's head into his own rib cage. What was even more impressive was the fact that Mukaku was clearly out of his prime in his advanced age in the present. Ohma and Koga both remarked how out-of-norm it was that he was still tough enough to handle them along with Retsudo in battle despite well into a hundred.

    Being the creator of the technique, Mukaku utilized it in his youth in an attempt to assassinate Shen Wulong, to no prevail. It's described as 'a technique to kill a god'. He hasn't demonstrated usage of it in the present, likely as a result of his advanced age.

    STATUS: Deceased GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Death Fight (Formerly) FIGHTING STYLE: Koei Style

    Genzan Taira (平たい良ら 厳げん山ざん, Taira Genzan), also known as The Spiral (螺ら旋せん, Rasen),[1] was the rediscoverer of the Koei Style and the master of Kiryu Setsuna. He was the man who killed Niko Tokita, and the initial object of Ohma Tokita's revenge before he was killed by Kiryu.

    Genzan was a gruff-looking older man with a wrinkled face, thick messy fair hair atop his head, a lack of eyebrows with thick eyebrow ridges, deadened eyes and a well-defined muscular build. He tended to wear traditional keikogi. Personality

    Genzan appeared to be a man who greatly enjoyed the thrill of battle and the self-achievement of killing powerful foes. History

    Genzan is a descendant of the main line of the Koei Style founders.[2] At some point in the past, he collated all the archives he could find on the Koei Style and attempted to reconstruct its techniques. However, he found that only two techniques were still applicable at that point in time. With this in mind, Genzan planned to revive the Koei Style and make it stronger than ever.[2]

    Some time afterwards, Genzan adopted Kiryu Setsuna as his martial arts student.[1] He relayed all this information to Gensai Kuroki one evening in a bar.[2] An unspecified time afterwards, Genzan fought and killed Niko, telling the shellshocked Ohma that if he wanted revenge, he'd be waiting for him on the "battlefield" once Ohma had attained "power".

    Taira Genzan was a supposedly powerful fighter, able to best and kill someone of Niko's calibre in combat. However, in reality, Genzan was not at the level of Niko Tokita; he was only able to kill Niko after the man had completely exhausted himself after fighting Ohma and The Other Niko. Koei Style

    Genzan revived and utilised the long-lost martial art. However, he was only able to salvage two techniques, Blink and Rakshasa's Palm, before his death at Kiryu's hands.

    STATUS: Alive AGE: Secret <3[1] BIRTHPLACE: Japan BIRTHDAY: December 1st[1] HEIGHT: 174cm (5'9")[2][1] WEIGHT: 62kg (137 lbs)[2][1] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Government of Japan Teito University (Formerly) OCCUPATION: Doctor Government Agent Affiliated Fighter (Formerly) FIGHTING STYLE: Lingshu Chin Na

    Hanafusa Hajime (英はなふさ はじめ, Hanafusa Hajime; "Hajime Hanafusa"), also known as The Dissector (解かい剖ぼう魔ま, Kaibōma), is a special agent of the government of Japan. During the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Hanafusa posed as the affiliated fighter for Teito University in order to complete a mission given to him by the Japanese government.

    Hanafusa possesses a lean yet defined musculature, with a bob of blonde hair that falls freely from his head, sharp facial features and tired, yet intense eyes. He's usually seen wearing a white doctor's coat over a dark blue shirt, black trousers and smart brown shoes. Personality

    Hanafusa has a disconcerting air about him. He notes that the incredibly deep despair that he feels when going through tragedies, such as patients dying in his care, is quite addictive. He has a constant urge to dissect any fighter he finds interesting.[4] A man born with madness, Hanafusa keeps his in check with his logical sense of reason Reason ≠ Conscience.[1] History

    Little is known about Hanafusa's past, except that he works as a special agent of the Japanese government, who specializes in secretly eliminating enemies of the state. On one of his assignments, he uncovered an organ trafficking ring run by a hospital director, who had kidnapped convicts seeking treatment at his hospital to sell organs.[5] He also single-handedly wiped out the doomsday cult called "Army of God", immediately before they were able to carry out a chemical terrorist attack on Japan and declare a holy war.[2]

    At some point Hanafusa had Terashi as a patient, altering the latter face and hypothalamus.

    Hanafusa is an incredibly talented medical doctor, biologist and surgeon,[6] capable of resuscitating and treating fighters who have sustained otherwise fatal injuries. However, he is just as capable of utilising his extensive knowledge of the human body to destroy it.

    He is also an avid medical experimenter, conducting experiments not only on his unwitting patients, but on himself. Hanafusa has no qualms about surgically altering his own body to be more suitable for battle.[7] Most notably, Hanafusa surgically altered his own hypothalamus to restrict its ability to transmit neural signals, resulting in a complete loss of his ability to feel pain;[8] he has shown that he completely ignores damage as severe as impalement from two swords[2] and having two of his fingers horrifically broken without so much as a second thought.[9] This pain-negating procedure enabled him to make further alterations: He devised a trick weapon consisting of two spring-loaded blades embedded inside his arms, which come out of the palms of his hands; the blades are carved out of Hanafusa's own femurs.[8] Hanafusa has also injected compressed gas into his heels, which explodes when he kicks them on the ground, drastically augmenting the momentum of his kicks.[10]

    Perhaps the most terrifying of Hanafusa's abilities lies in his possession of antibodies to a number of lethal viruses. This allows him to host said viruses within his bloodstream at no harm to himself, essentially turning himself into a living bioweapon.[11] He is capable of (and has the proclivity to) using airborne viruses that can apparently immediately kill anyone in the vicinity, although the government prevents him from doing so due to the risk of civilian casualties.[11] When tasked with eliminating Bando Yohei, Hanafusa made himself into a vector for a blood-borne virus that attacks the nerves and causes death within 12 hours when contracted through a mucous membrane or open wound;[11] although deadly, this virus can be treated via extensive medical treatment. His ability to host viruses in his bloodstream, in conjunction with his bone swords, proves to make him an even more deadly opponent, as the swords always rupture through his skin when he unsheathes them, guaranteeing they will be coated in his blood.

    Hanafusa also added a number of contingencies to his body that maintain his vital functions automatically in the case that he should die (such as nanomachines that force his heart to beat etc.), so that he can resuscitate and regenerate himself from what would otherwise be fatal injuries.[10] This allowed him to survive having his neck snapped by Bando.[10] Lingshu Chin Na

    In a Chin Na stance In a Chin Na stance Lingshu Chin Na: Terminal Stab Lingshu Chin Na: Terminal Stab Lingshu Chin Na (霊枢擒拿術れいすきんなじゅつ, Reisu Kinna Jutsu; "Língshū Qínná-shù") is the Chinese martial art that Hanufusa uses, said to be the oldest variant of Chin Na.[9] This martial art, allegedly derived from the Huangdi Neijing (the foundational text of Chinese medicine), uses the fingers to strike the body's acupuncture points in place of needles. Striking these acupuncture points allows Hanafusa to deal critical damage to the body, while requiring relatively lesser force.[9]

    Terminal Stab

    Terminal Stab (絶刺, Zettoge)[9] is a critical attack that target's the opponent's "yǎmén" (the acupuncture point on the rear of the cervical vertebrae). If successfully performed, it will sever and destroy the target's nerves within. The only reason it failed against Bando is because of his extreme flexibility.[8]

    Hassad (ハサド, Hasado), also known as The Arabian Whirlwind (アラブの旋風せんぷう, Arabu no Senpū), was the affiliated fighter for Persia Petroleum and one of the five candidates who successfully passed the Kengan Annihilation Tournament preliminaries. He is also the first in line to the throne of a small nation in the Middle East.

    Underneath his thawb and wrapped face, Hassad is a handsome, muscular and well-defined Middle Eastern man with straight draping black hair that falls a little past his neck, determined brown eyes and full lips. Personality

    Hassad is a proud and confident warrior who well readily question those in a much higher position of power than himself to gain answers to questions. Hassad is also a patriot, believing that his nation needed to expand its knowledge in order for them to build for the future; to that end, he travelled the world to study and bring back more knowledge to help his nation. However, after encountering and residing with Kaburagi Koji, he has become rather carefree such as drinking beer despite being Muslim,[2] happily eating while the Bodyguards are on high alert and claiming that he can fight anytime, even while drunk.[2] ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    Three years ago, Hassad left his nation to seek more knowledge, so he could one day return and improve his nation's condition. As he was leaving, his younger brother Giva attempted to stop him but Hassad overwhelmed him using the foreign martial art he had acquired. Using it as an example to highlight to Giva what their nation sorely lacked, Hassad went on his global journey of knowledge.[2]

    Hassad is a powerful individual, being able to easily best the majority of fighters in the Annihilation Tournament preliminaries and being one of the remaining five. Renowned for his striking speed, he held the record for the shortest official Kengan match with a duration of 2 seconds before his record was broken by Mikazuchi Rei.[3] However, he was effortlessly overwhelmed by Yodoe, one of Chairman Katahara's Bodyguards.[4] Nonetheless, during Hayami Katsumasa's coup, Hassad easily defeats Yodoe and two other Bodyguards, even with their weapons, in a flash.[5] Desert Palm

    The secret martial art of Hassad's royal family, Desert Palm is a style adapted to the environment of Hassad's nation's region (which is 40% desert). The user takes a low stance and moves by sliding their feet (because it is nearly impossible to make graceful steps in the desert); these sliding motions can be likened to a shark swimming in the desert. The left hand is used only for feints while the right is used to defeat the enemy in a single strike.[2]

    Shurite

    Shurite (首里手, Okinawan: Suidii)[2] is a Japanese martial art that allows for rapid blows through whip-like motions called "muchimi". Hassad learned Shurite through his self-study on the literature, making it a more personalised variant of the martial art

    Hatsumi Sen (初はつ見み 泉せん; "Sen Hatsumi"), also known as The Floating Cloud (浮うき雲ぐも, Ukigumo), is an affiliated fighter within the Kengan matches. He represented the Nogi Group during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

    Hatsumi has long black hair that he lets fall down his back, thin black eyebrows, relaxed eyes, pronounced tear-troughs and thin stubble above his lip and on his chin.

    He usually has a casual style of dress. Personality

    Hatsumi is an extremely relaxed and blasé person. This lackadaisical attitude shows in most of his Kengan losses: nine by oversleeping, four from bailing and two from forgetting there was a match on.[7] However, when he gets serious, he gets serious. Hatsumi is also a known womaniser who has an issue with keeping it in his pants, so some consider him nothing but a lech. His characterisation is like an elusive floating cloud.[1] History

    Eighteen years ago, in his early 20s, Hatsumi first met and soon started dating Soryuin Shion for the first time.[8] During that time, he took Shion to Tochigi Destiny Land, but they had a fight and broke up afterwards because she caught him cheating.[9] Two years after they first started dating, Hatsumi left again, telling Shion he was going on a journey to fight powerful fighters, but Shion realised the truth when she picked up an adult tour programe that he had dropped.[8] He then left Japan to travel the world and fight in several underground matches to train himself (and enjoy the company of women).

    At the age of 28, he was scouted by Katahara Metsudo to be the fifth Fang of Metsudo. However, a week into his candidacy, he ducked out because he was bored, and Kanoh Agito was chosen in his place.[10] He subsequently became the fighter for Nogi Hideki through certain unspecified connections. At his debut match, Hatsumi reancountered Shion where he explained to her that he had achieved his dream; he then began flirting with the Nogi Group's new secretary.[8] While he was the most powerful fighter in Nogi's employ, his unreliability led Nogi to hire other fighters.

    Hatsumi Sen is a powerful individual. In addition to his incredible physical speed and striking power, his key strength is his unpredictability; his self-taught original moves and his erratic behavior make him next to impossible to read in battle. Besides, he is a master of Aikido and specializes in defeating opponents with minimal effort. Hatsumi is also capable of dodging while moving so little that it appears that he isn't moving at all with the attack seemingly going right through him;[12][13] he achieves this by shifting his knee to evade the attack without changing his axis, making it look like Hatsumi isn't moving at all.[10] He has also crossed what Kuroki Gensai calls the "limiting line", enabling Hatsumi to dodge would-be fatal blows at the final moment.[10] He was able to overwhelm a notably injured Tokita Ohma easily, specifically taking advantage of the injuries Ohma had sustained.[7]

    However, while Hatsumi is powerful, the last thing he is is reliable. Wakatsuki Takeshi noted that he is the most fickle fighter, with his peaks and valleys being far too extreme.[14] His competence in battle depends heavily on his mood and his condition, and in some cases, he requires a pre-fight warm-up to improve his condition; in poor condition, even average fighters can give him trouble, but in peak condition, he is strong enough to overwhelm even Wakatsuki.[14] Hatsumi tends to gear up his condition by fighting multiple matches in a short space of time.[14] Wakatsuki even mentioned that he is only one of three people to have given him a hard time and to defeat him the other two being Tokita Ohma and Kanoh Agito.

    Hatsumi-Style Aikido (初はつ見み 泉せん流りゆう合あい気きど道う, Hatsumi-ryū Aikidō) is a familial style of Aikido passed down through the Hatsumi lineage. Hatsumi is so extremely proficient in this style that a man of Wakatsuki Takeshi's level and experience noted that going up against Hatsumi using Aikido was reckless at best.[16]

    Although based on the Ueshiba school's Aikido, Hatsumi-Style Aikido, besides joint locks and chokes, also welcomes striking techniques. Its founder is Hatsumi Goichiro[17].

    Gathering Clouds: Triple Strike

    The Gathering Clouds: Triple Strike (叢むら雲くも三さん連れん, Murakumo Sanren) consists of three blows in rapid succession to the three vital areas of the face: The glabella, the philtrum and the chin. Hatsumi used this technique to quickly knock out Chiba Takayuki.[16]

    Hundred Meetings Throw

    The Hundreds Meetings Throw (百ひゃく会え投なげ, Hyakue Nage) is a move where Hatsumi grabs the opponent's wrist and throws them high into the air. When they are upside down in the air, he pulls down on their arm, slamming them head first into the ground. Hatsumi used this to defeat Bando Yohei.[18]

    Stardrop

    The Stardrop (星ほし落おとし, Hoshi Otoshi) being culmination of all his techniques, Hatsumi puts one hand under his opponent's chin and the other hand around his opponent's waist and throws them head-first with their back to the ground while preventing them from softening their fall. He attempted to use this against Kanoh Agito, but was countered by Kanoh's Dragon Shot before he could complete the throw.[19]

    STATUS: Deceased AGE: 76 (Kengan Ashura)[1] ~78 (Kengan Omega) BIRTHDAY: August 5th[1] HEIGHT: 171cm[1] WEIGHT: 67kg[1] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Toyo Electric Power Co. OCCUPATION: CEO of Toyo Electric Power Co. RELATIVES: Hayami Katsujiro (Brother) Hayami Masaki (Adoptive son) Kurayoshi Rino (Biological daughter)[2]

    Hayami Katsumasa (速はや水み 勝かつ正まさ; "Katsumasa Hayami") was the CEO of Toyo Electric Power Co. and head of the Society of a Hundred, the formerly largest faction within the Kengan Association. He was the biological father of Kurayoshi Rino and the main antagonist of Kengan Ashura.

    Hayami Katsumasa was a distinguished looking gentleman with graying hair set in a middle-parting and a thick grey mustache. The left side of his face was horrifically disfigured and his left eye was whitened. He was always seen wearing a light-colored smart suit.

    Twenty years ago, when he found Meguro Masaki, Hayami had dark hair and lacked a mustache. However, his facial disfigurement was still present during this time. ADVERTISEMENT

    Personality

    Hayami was an extremely intimidating individual, able to exert charismatic pressure that rivals that of Katahara Metsudo. He had an opportunistic, ruthless, and Machiavellian disposition in his ambitious hunger for power and influence, finding those who work under him, no matter how skilled or capable they may be, as little more than expendable pawns that only exist to help elevate his position. To this end, he was willing to go to great lengths and commit atrocities in order to secure dominance in the political and financial worlds that he inhabitated.

    However, it was implied by Yoroizuka Sanemitsu that he wasn't the malicious individual he currently was, back in the earlier days of the Kengan Association, once described as an idealistic individual who pursued his goals with his fellow comrades. History

    Hayami appears to have a deep history with Kengan Association chairman Katahara Metsudo, and it was implied that he had rebelled against Metsudo once before, which resulted in his massive facial scarring in the hands of Kure Erioh, who poured acid on his face. Since then, he had amassed power within the Kengan Association, forming the Society of a Hundred, the biggest faction in the Association.

    Twenty years ago, Hayami encountered a 13 year old Meguro Masaki after he had killed his father, and took him off the grid in exchange for taming him to be his pawn. As a result of Hayami's actions, the case for "Boy M", as the police called him, went cold.[3] Presumably, it was at this point in time where Katsumasa created Hayami Masaki as a backup, knowing that Meguro's madness would ultimately hinder him. However, Hayami erroneously believed that he was the main reason for Meguro's insanity by tampering with his brain. Due to this, he would leave the clone's brain alone, keeping Masaki's reasoning intact.

    Roughly a decade ago, Hayami ordered Urita Sukizo's father to assassinate Nishihonji Akira's father, which inadvertently resulted in the death of Inaba Ryo's father in the process. This order eventually lead to Penasonic and Nishihonji Security Services leaving the Society of a Hundred.[4]

    A week before the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, he callously blackmailed an F1 race car driver into helping Julius Reinhold's insane conditioning training, which consequently resulted in the former's demise.

    STATUS: Alive AGE: 25 (Kengan Ashura)[1] ~27 (Kengan Omega) ~29 (Kengan Omega Timeskip) BIRTHDAY: March 17th[1] HEIGHT: 181cm (5'11")[1] WEIGHT: 82kg (180lbs)[1] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Ginokuniya Bookstore OCCUPATION: Bartender Underground Fighter FIGHTING STYLE: Jeet Kune Do KNOWN MATCH WINS: 22[2] KNOWN MATCH LOSSES: 2

    Himuro Ryo (氷ひ室むろ 涼りょう, Himuro Ryō; "Ryo Himuro"), also known as The Icy Emperor (氷こうり帝てい, Kōritei), is one of Ginokuniya Bookstore's affiliated fighters. He was supposed to represent Ginokuniya Bookstore in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, but his position was stolen by Kaneda Suekichi prior to the tournament's start.

    Himuro is a tan-skinned young man with a bob of white hair that is styled with a light middle parting and white eyebrows. He has a lean frame with a defined musculature. It is noted by Kaneda that Himuro has "beautiful skin".

    Himuro dresses formally and stylishly, wearing a waist-coat and bow-tie whilst being a bartender with a white buttoned-up undershirt and black trousers. In more casual settings, he omits his waistcoat and bowtie and unbuttons the top of his shirt, revealing a portion of his chest.

    Himuro spent most of the Annihilation Tournament with his arm in a cast and sling after being defeated by Kaneda. Personality

    Himuro is a notorious womanizer, and takes every opportunity to get girls' phone numbers and set up mixers with them, whether they are secretaries, ring girls, or even Katahara Sayaka. In combat, he is confident in his own strength. He gets quite annoyed and flustered when people he perceives to be weak refuse to back down as shown when he was fighting Kaneda Suekichi. However, he is a good sport after losing, accepting that Kaneda must be stronger than him and becoming fast friends with him. Despite his kind personality he is also very intelligent and harden due to him growing up in the Inside, He was able to recognize that Gaoh Ryuki was very indifferent to the idea of killing. He was able to quickly figure out that Gaoh Mukaku was not to be trusted. ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    Born within the Inside, specifically the "Rohza" district,[3] Himuro grew up with no parents and did whatever it took to survive. Eventually he got disillusioned with the way he was living and left the Inside at an unknown time, though he guessed that he would be around 15 when he left. After leaving, he got the name "Himuro Ryo" illegally registered

    Himuro Ryo is a master practitioner of Jeet Kune Do and, with his strength and skill, Himuro had won 4 Kengan matches without a single loss; prior to the main Kengan Annihilation Tournament, he was considered to be one of the strongest affiliated fighters in the Kengan matches.[5] With the style of Jeet Kune Do, Himuro has an initial vertical fist speed of 15 m/s, enabling him to launch rapid powerful strikes; by economising motion through simultaneous parrying and punching, Himuro is able to make his opponents experience his fists moving several times faster than they are.[5] Since Jeet Kune Do doesn't have any form, Himuro can fight dirty using moves such as eye pokes and striking the ribs.[5] Despite this, he was defeated by Kaneda, due to severely underestimating the man.[4][5]

    Himuro can also use weapons very well: when fighting the Guardians, since his arm was still broken, Himuro had to use a nunchaku to defend himself.[6] He noted that because he used to live in a lawless place, he had to learn how to use weapons just to survive.[6] Because of his past with "The Inside" he has numerous connections and networks to gather information through.

    Himuro's already impressive record jumped up to 21-0 by the time of Omega and he showcased improvements in his ability. He was able to easily block Ryuki's "Earth Crouching Dragon" and claimed to be able to easily kill him. He was also able to identify what martial art he used, the Gaoh Style. Himuro also easily beat Xia Ji while dodging and disarming all his concealed weapons.

    Hiyama Shunka (檜山 瞬花, Hiyama Shunka; "Shunka Hiyama") is the CEO of Wakasa Life Insurance and a member of the Kengan Association.

    ADVERTISEMENT Appearance

    1/2

    Hiyama is a petite young woman with black hair set in a neat bob hairstyle with neatly cut square bangs that fall just over her eyes, large dark eyes, small full lips with dark lipstick applied to them and a moderately sized bosom. Personality

    Hiyama is an extremely precise woman who tracks her life to the second. However, she seems to have a crippling dislike of solitude[1] as seen when she lost her normally calm composure after Akoya Seishu criticized her for her performance in his match.[2] She is completely tied to Akoya, in a manner far beyond Stockholm syndrome, and views him as her saviour, despite his actions of enforcing justice going beyond reason. She has a surprising lack of modesty, like attempting to walk into a shower naked before even getting close to the shower.[3] History

    Hiyama was appointed as the CEO of Wakasa Life Insurance six years ago, after the death of her father that same year. Because she lacked work experience, she received assistance from her cousin, who was the vice-president, and he soon became irreplaceable to her. However, only a year later, he attempted to murder Hiyama in an attempt to take control of the company himself. However, her cousin was killed by Akoya Seishu before he could kill her. From this point onwards, Hiyama viewed Akoya as her savior and aided him in his single-minded pursuit of "justice".

    Power & Abilities

    Hiyama has a perfectly precise internal clock that allows her to mentally analyse and calculate numerical problems with superhuman capabilities (with only a handful of cases globally being on her level).[5][6] For example, she is able to calculate a fighter's respiratory pattern by analyzing it with her internal clock.

    Hong Xiao-Hu (洪 小虎, Hon Shaofū; "Xiǎo-Hǔ Hóng") also known as The Man-Eating Tiger of Sichuan (四川の人食い虎, Sìchuān no Hito-gui Tora) is a Chinese affiliated fighter within the Kengan matches and the main fighter of Iwami Heavy Industries.

    Hong Xiao-Hu is a muscular man with a very well-defined physique. He has a ball of black hair that covers his head and ears with a long queue that falls below his back. While fighting, Hong wears an attire consisting of only black Chinese-style martial artist's pants with black martial arts shoes. Personality

    Hong is initially a calm but confidant fighter with a high amount of trust in his abilities, namely his speed and opioid controlling abilities. However, when on the verge of defeat or embarrassment, he reveals a deep aggressiveness that resulted in him ripping off his own fingernails and part of the skin to show his abilities before punching a concrete pillar. Plot

    Kengan Ashura

    Lined up to face Mikazuchi Rei in a Kengan match, Hong initially matched his opponent until he was forced to reveal his trump card. Being quickly taken down anyway via both of his knees being broken, the referee called his defeat, but Hong refused and tried to resume fighting. Kurayoshi Rino then intruded into the arena and incapacitated him by turning off his opioid control, which induced extreme amounts of pain which Mikazuchi noted could be fatal as a result of shock.

    Power & Abilities

    Hong Xiao-Hu is a powerful combatant, with one of his main strengths being his physical attacking speed. Before fighting Mikazuchi Rei, his only loss was in his 12th Kengan match against the Fang of Metsudo; however, he was one of the few people that had fought the Fang and come out without being incapacitated.[3]

    Jiyi Quan (極意拳, Jí Yì Quán; lit. Ultimate-Intention Fist): Hong is a practitioner of a Chinese martial art called 'Jiyi Quan', being a very proficient user. He is able to use the style's secret art which allows the user to control the secretion of opioids in their brain; Hong uses this unique skill to completely negate his sense of pain.[3] With his sense of pain nullified, Hong enters a berserker-like state where he attacks without regard to his overall health. This allows Hong to move seemingly unimpeded, even with injuries as severe as broken thighbones and shattered knees.

    Imai Cosmo (今いま井い コスモ, Imai Kosumo), also known as The King of Stranglers (絞こう殺さつ王おう, Kōsatsu-ō), is one of the affiliated fighters employed for Nishihonji Security Services. He represented Nishihonji Security Services during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament

    Cosmo is a young man of average height, though possesses a well-defined build, as expected for an affiliate fighter. Cosmo's blond hair was first styled as a bob cut, favoring it even when he was 17. During moments of duress, he has shown the tendency to swipe his hair back and don an intense expression.

    During his bouts, he wears a blue rash guard emblazoned with the Nishihonji Security Services logo accented with yellow and black shorts. This is with the exception of his fight against Akoya Seishu where he forwent his rash guard in favour of only blue shorts and ankle supports.

    Two years later, Cosmo had grown out his blonde hair, setting it into a ponytail in the back with three thick bangs framing his face, reminiscent of the hairstyle of his master, Kureishi Mitsuyo. His rashguard is now predominantly black as well.

    His casual clothing varies with t-shirts and trousers, though he is never seen without a necklace with a ring looped inside it. Personality

    Cosmo has a very happy-go-lucky personality, and is almost always cheerful and smiling. He was called a social butterfly while in school for having friends across different cliques.[7] He is easy to get along with and makes friends with several of the other fighters, even ones he has just fought. He is a quick learner, being flexible and adaptable.

    Cosmo tends to take risks during the fighting, and combined with the fact that his fighting style revolves around submission holds rather than blows, he often ends up coming out of his fights more badly injured than his opponent, even when he wins. While he claims to enjoy fighting for fighting's own sake and does seem to enjoy the thrill of the fight; it is not until he is nearly killed by Akoya Seishu that he realizes that this is not a love of fighting, but a strong desire to win.

    He has a close-knit relationship with his employer, Nishihonji Akira, whom he calls his "bro". He also seems to get with Wakatsuki Takeshi, but is more like a teacher-student relationship and Cosmo usually refers to him as his "senpai".

    As a child, Cosmo was getting into fights on the streets day in and day out, until he met Kureishi Mitsuyo, a mixed martial artist who offered to teach him martial arts.[8] Cosmo proved to be a natural at it, so much so that when one of Kureishi's other students, a young businessman named Nishihonji Akira, came to recruit Kureishi to fight for his business, Kureishi instead referred him to Cosmo.

    At the tender age of 14, Cosmo became the youngest person to ever debut in the Kengan matches, taking down a giant man 20cm taller and 30kg heavier into submission.[1] He attended high school during most of his tenure as a fighter, and struggled to keep his brother and school friends from knowing about his rather unusual part-time job.[7] At the age of 17, Nishihonji brought him to fight Anderson Arona, a public MMA fighter. Despite Arona's impressive win streak in Cage Fight, Cosmo ended up easily defeating him and causing Arona to retire from fighting altogether.[7]

    Considered a fighting prodigy, Cosmo is a practioner of Brazilian jiu-jitsu[9] with a high level of agility due to his rather small and lightweight build. Despite his size, he is shown to hit rather hard, as Adam Dudley noted while fighting him. Cosmo's physical and mental endurance is demonstrated when he tanked multiple punches from Adam, who is capable of knocking people out cold with little motion, and continue fighting efficiently.[8][10] In the battle with Akoya Seishu, despite being bitten and tortured by Akoya, which broke his ribs and nearly his will to fight, Cosmo continued to fight and he defeated Akoya after an adrenaline rush boosted his strength and speed.[6] Furthermore, after the battles with Adam and Akoya, which left Cosmo heavily injured, Cosmo could still move fast enough that Tokita Ohma could not hit him (more so due to the fact that Cosmo was predicting his movements via the use of his new-found Foresight ability).[11]

    During the two months between the announcement of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament and the tournament's start, Cosmo sparred against heavyweight martial artists three times daily; as a result, he is well-versed when fighting larger opponents.[8] True to his status as a fighting prodigy, Cosmo is able to learn and implement new fighting techniques and applications quickly: after learning how to utilize his quick reflexes more efficiently after defeating Akoya and then awakening the ability of Foresight during the battle against Hayami's Guardians,[12] Cosmo was able to combine and implement these newly learned abilities in his fight with Ohma, enabling him to dominate Ohma in the early stages of their match.[11]

    Two years after the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Kazuo noted that Cosmo's striking capabilities have improved drastically, being able to win a Kengan match with only a few blows.[13] Zone

    Zone (ゾーン, Zōn) is Cosmo's key technique unique to himself. It involves discerning the 0.1 second interval when the opponent is completely focused on their attack.[10] Once the timing is discerned, Cosmo then proceeds to move into the opponent's blind spot and put them into a hold. This technique makes the opponent think that Cosmo has disappeared into thin air until he puts them into a hold.[1][10]

    Foresight

    Gainging Foresight (先さき読よみ, Sakiyomi) after his match against Akoya Seishu, Cosmo began to develop the ability to predict his opponents' moves in a way similar to Kaneda Suekichi. However, Cosmo can only predict 1-2 moves ahead (in comparison to Kaneda being able to predict up to 7 moves ahead).[14] By combining this move prediction with his incredible reflexes and Zone, Cosmo is able to counter any moves that he has already seen before.[14][15] However his Foresight is not an ability that can be used in any situation: when predicting a new move or combination, Cosmo's reflexes are drastically slowed.[15] It has been predicted that if he combines his Foresight with his Zone, he would become a nearly-unbeatable fighter in time, though at present his ability is far too underdeveloped.

    Inaba Ryo (因幡いなば 良りょう, Inaba Ryō; "Ryo Inaba"), also known as The Black Phantom (黒くろ呪じゅの亡ぼう霊れい, Kuroju no Bōrei), is an assassin that hails from the Inaba Clan as well as the clan's current heir. He represented Penasonic as their affiliated fighter during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament and was one of three assassins in the tournament.

    Inaba Ryo is the smallest fighter in the tournament, standing at 155 cm, with a slight yet well-defined frame, notably pale skin, and dead-looking eyes with large bags under them. His most distinguishing feature is his extremely long, flailing black hair that he usually lets drape over his face and on to the ground; under the hair, Inaba has a decidedly cute face.

    Ryo tends to wear a plain black vest and plain black bottoms, and is usually seen barefoot. Personality

    Ryo is particular known for his eccentric behaviour,[5] such as his tendency to walk on all fours like an animal. Despite this, he has a surprisingly agreeable side.[1] Because of the relationship he has with his friend and employer Urita Sukizo, Inaba subdued his true sense of identity: the bloodstained karma of his assassin's blood and the fact that assassins could only really live in the heart of battle, something which he regained after his fight with Tokita Ohma. History

    Because the assassins of the Inaba Clan had served the Uritas for generations, as the current head of the household, Inaba Ryo was no exception. Because he was always at Urita Sukizo's side as his bodyguard ever since they were children, they had a bizarre relationship that was not of master and servant but more like that of close friends. To that end, Sukizo never ordered Inaba to commit any assassinations.

    Ryo comes from the Inaba Clan of assassins, in which they have a special treatment for their hair to be used as a weapon. Apart from this, Inaba is a fast and agile combatant, albeit not as fast as Tokita Ohma. He is shown to be capable of matching Ohma's blows for a short while, before being overwhelmed. Despite being small, Inaba is stronger than he looks: using his big toe he can both propel himself quickly and can easily root himself to the ground; when wrapping Ohma's leg with his hair, Inaba easily swung him around like a ball on a chain using his arm or his neck.[6] Inaba Style

    Jerry Tyson (ジェリー・タイソン, Jerī Taison), also known as The Rocket Man, was the affiliated fighter for 22nd FAX Corporation. After his loss in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament preliminaries, he joined Katahara Sayaka as a commentator for the tournament. In the two years after the tournament, Jerry retired as an affiliated fighter and has become a Kengan Association official.

    Appearance

    Jerry is a well-built muscular black man with short black hair, a thick black moustache and a noticeably gleaming smile; he always tends to have a jovial animated facial expression.

    He wears dark pants held up by bridges and a white shirt (with the sleeves rolled up), finishing his outfit with a bowtie.

    In Omega, his appearance hasn't changed much, except his hair has grown slightly. Personality

    Jerry is a very loud and animated person who is somewhat arrogant, thinking that his fighting style is invincible. After his defeat from Tokita Ohma, Jerry grew to respect the strength of others and can strike up a sense of camaraderie with other like-minded people quickly. History

    Jerry Tyson excelled at sports from a young age, especially in sprinting, so much so that he was selected for the US All Star Team at the tender age of 15. At 17, Jerry moved to China due to his father's work and there he discovered Chinese wushu. After five years of learning Xing Yi Quan, Jerry had become powerful enough to overcome his master. After contemplating the forms of the martial arts, he developed his own style based around weapons because he believed it to be superior to basing his style around animals.[1]

    Jerry uses a modified form of Xing Yi Quan (形意拳, Xìng Yì Quán; lit. Form-Intention Fist);[1] while the original martial art involves imitating animal movements, Jerry's form of Xing Yi Quan imitates modern weaponry.[1] He is a moderately powerful fighter, though not on the level of the fighters who made it to the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. Possibly due to his history with Chinese wushu, Jerry has keen eyes for fighters and can explain the situation of fights aptly; an example of his knowledge was his intimate awareness of the secret technique of the "Heavenly Wolf Fist". Headbutt Bomb

    A headbutt that imitates the power of a hand grenade.[7]

    Patriot Scud (ＰＡＴＲＩＯＴパトリオット ＳＣＵＤスカッド, Patoriotto Sukkado)

    An even stronger and quicker attack than the SCUD Missile, in which Jerry's lower posture, charging head-first instead of arms-first, allows for less air resistance and greater momentum. Doing so sacrifices his defensive ability to focus entirely on offense.[7]

    SCUD Missile (ＳＣＵＤスカッド ＭＩＳＳＩＬＥミサイル, Sukkado Misairu)

    A powerfully quick charging attack that can knock back anything in its way. Jerry holds his hands in fists in front of him as he runs, and he is able to maintain high speeds and turn on a dime, meaning that even if it is dodged he can change course instantly as his whole body works together to manoeuvre at top speed. In addition, anyone that attempts to attack him from the side also ends up violently knocked back due to the incredible momentum he possesses.[1] However, this same momentum makes it difficult for him to brake.

    Julius Reinhold (ユリウス・ラインホルト, Yuriusu Rainhoruto), also known as The Monster (モンスター, Monsutā), is an affiliated fighter in the Kengan matches. He represented Toyo Electric Power Co. during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. He became Iwami Heavy Industries's affiliated fighter during the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament.

    Julius has extremely developed muscles derived in part from special doping, having taken enough steroids to kill an average man.[7] His immense muscular structure grants him colossal physical strength, durability and destructive power, as shown when remained unmoved and even pulled against an F1 race car that was trying to yank him away as well as easily snapping the specially ordered chains wrapped around his body.[3] Julius is also deceptively fast, being able to sprint as fast a first-rate sprinter despite his size and weight exceeding 200kg.[7] Defensively, his guards can be compared to iron armour, which can even shatter rock,[7] and he was able to shrug off the full-powered punches of Wakatsuki Takeshi, who's strength is comparable to Julius' thanks to his condition. When he fought against Sawada Keizaburo, not only was he able to stop the man's full-powered kick with only his trapezius muscle, but he also broke Sawada's leg by merely clenching his hand and knocked him out by simply throwing him against the wall, with the force of the hit even shaking the building he was in as a result.[6] When his and Wakatsuki's fists clashed, it shook the entire Kengan Dome from the emitted shockwave.[7] He is one of two fighters who Kanoh Agito said "outclasses" Wakatsuki (the other being Kure Raian).[7]

    Despite almost exclusively using brute force while fighting, Julius is quite intelligent. To use his muscles at their full capacity, Julius studied sports physiology, sports medicine, psychology and even physics.[8] His combination of biological knowledge and physical strength makes him an extremely dangerous combatant.[8] Even when he was initially overwhelmed by Kanoh's newfound "height" during their match, he could still quickly "catch up" to the Fifth Fang's might, showing his own ability to adapt and evolve against a stronger opponent.

    Two years after the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Julius' training allowed him to find a new ability to use his strength. He himself claimed that his newfound strength might even overcome the likes of Kuroki Gensai, the winner of the Annihilation Tournament. Rolón Donaire of Purgatory recognized Julius as powerful enough to beat both Agito and Wakatsuki. Gott-Töter Steinbohrer

    The culmination of his pursuit of true strength, Gott-Töter Steinbohrer (神殺しの削岩機シュタインボラーディガットゥーテン, Shutainborā di Gattūten; lit. "Godkiller Rock Drills") is effectively a level of muscle control obtained by Julius, who sacrificed everything for the sake of strength. Julius' muscle control is so fine that each fiber seems independent to each other. He can spin his forearm by flexing his muscles to their limits and release them all at once. Similar to Wakatsuki's Blast Core in principle, the rotational energy from the explosive release can pierce through the dispersal of damage, such as with Toa's Wai (Water) and the Niko Style's Water Kata,[9] and even deflect redirection attempts, such as with Toa's Hau (Wind) and the Niko-Style's Redirection Kata.[10] Furthermore, the strike is powerful enough to knock out someone as large as Toa Mudo in a single hit.

    Kaburagi Koji (蕪木 浩二, Kaburagi Kōji; "Koji Kaburagi"), also known as The Medicine Man (メディスン マン, Medisun Man), is an affiliated Kengan fighter that represents Koyama Mart, Inc. Whenever he fights, his primary outcome is to eliminate potentially dangerous fighters, thus Kaburagi is known as the "fighter who hunts fighters

    Kaburagi is a heavy-set overweight man with equally chunky facial features and a shaved light-coloured hair with a squared-off widow's peak. He typically dresses like a shady person. Personality

    Kaburagi understands the limits of his own powers and thus finds immense gratification in bringing down superior fighters using his underhanded tactics. He finds pride in his ability to conceal debilitating substances and 'weapons' from the unsuspecting eyes of the referee and audience, boldly sticking to his "path of perversion". However, Kaburagi is a coward who will cry uncle when his plans do not come to fruition. Plot

    Power & Abilities

    Kaburagi's poison-laced fist Kaburagi with his fist covered in a cocktail of poisons Kaburagi is a moderately strong individual, being something of a mid-level fighter within the Kengan matches.[3] He is able to hit hard but lacks the typical speed and maneuverability of more overwhelming fighters like Tokita Ohma. Kaburagi proved he was able to easily subdue a few low rank Guardians.[4]

    Hidden Weapons Specialist: Despite never having been caught in the act, Kaburagi is known to use underhanded tactics and hidden weapons to incapacitate his opponents, with his forte lying in his ability to "cheat"; this has earned him the moniker "fighter who hunts fighters". Against Tokita Ohma, he used a combination of the Mosquito to distract Ohma's auditory capabilities and his poison-laced hands to severely impair Ohma's vision.[5] However, Kaburagi's most fearsome hidden weapon is a small needle that he carefully conceals under the skin of his left wrist; using it, Kaburagi aims to stab his target's cervical vertebrae in order to instantly knock his opponent out.[5] Kaburagi is even willing to use his own teeth as makeshift projectiles.[6] Kaburagi is also deceptively stealthy: after Ajiro Fisheries' loss in the first round, Kaburagi kidnapped the escaping Ajiro Korinmaru without anybody realising[7] and later, when Tochigi Disney Land crashed out, Kaburagi easily knocked out Yumeno Kunihiro's Bishamon bodyguards with ballbearings and kidnapped the CEO without attracting any attention.

    Kaneda Suekichi (金かね田だ 末すえ吉きち, Kaneda Suekichi; "Suekichi Kaneda"), also known as The Giant Killer (大おう物もの喰くい, Ōmono Kui; lit. "Big Thing Eater"), is an affiliated fighter within the Kengan matches. He represented Ginokuniya Bookstore during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament after stealing the affiliated fighter's spot from Himuro Ryo.

    Suekichi is a goofy unassuming-looking man with straight black hair that is set in a middle parting and falls either side of his head, thin eyes that are seemingly perpetually closed and a smiling, satisfied expression that rarely leaves his face. Suekichi appears to wear traditional Japanese garments. His facial appearance has barely changed since he was a child.[7] Personality

    Suekichi has a soft, polite demeanor that hides his fiercely cunning and calculating side. From an early age, he has had a colossal thirst for strength due to his relatively weak physical constitution.

    He is also a thorough opportunist, attempting to study his opponents of choice at every turn and glean whatever information he can to help in his battle. Much like his friends, Kaneda also enjoys the companionship of beautiful girls though not to the same extent. History

    From birth Suekichi was a frail sickly child who was constantly plagued by illnesses, almost dying twice. By the time he started school, he'd had surgery four times.[3]

    Prior to entering the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Suekichi's master (who taught him the Kujin Style) attempted to dissuade him from entering as it was no place for average people.[8

    Despite appearing to have little to no experience in martial arts, Suekichi has shown himself to be a capable combatant by utilizing the Kujin Style and his foresight to his advantage. Physically, Suekichi is completely average: in school, he was a terrible athlete, always coming last in strength tests and marathon runs[9] and, while training himself, it took three years for him to be able to bench 80kg.[8] Despite this, Suekichi has proven to be resilient enough to continue fighting without issue. He has taken several direct blows to the face, had his ribs cracked, struck in the chest so hard he vomited[10] and after took harrowing blows from a fighter of Kaolan Wongsawat's level,[9][6] yet still held his ground from receiving such damage. Still, even with his incredible mental fortitude, Suekichi's relative physical frailty is a severe limiting factor, and he would not be competitive as a fighter without his Foresight.

    Two years after the Tournament, Kaneda established a few more wins and losses to his name. Foresight

    Foresight (先さき読よみ, Sakiyomi) is Suekichi's ability to use his superhuman analytical prowess to study his opponent's movements in real-time. Suekichi can gradually begin to predict his opponent's moves with sublime accuracy to the point where he is then able to exploit them using this knowledge.[11][9][6] Suekichi was also able to correctly identify that Himuro was a Jeet Kune Do practitioner, having initially believed him to be a southpaw, after noticing Himuro's centre of gravity.[12] When he fought Kaolan, his strategy caused him to view the match as a "shogi composition".[13] However, the drawback to his Foresight is that it takes time for him to begin to understand and predict his opponent; he must withstand blows or barely dodge blows to begin to understand and predict, making his fighting style unfit for the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, since there are too many heavy hitters within the Tournament. Other than fighting, Suekichi can also achieve expert-levels in anything he can analyze: when he was in high school, three of his school's experts in boxing, soccer and baseball lost to him.[9]

    Two years after the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament, Kaneda was shown to have developed a new form of foresight that is called "Determinate Prediction", so he can unconsciously force his opponent into using a move that he built a counter to. He comprehensively utilize his opponent's vision, breathing, and timing of their attacks to control their next move. Thanks to this new move, Kaneda was capable of trapping Tokita Ohma in an armbar but doesn't have the strength to hold him down.

    The Kujin Style (紅く人じん流りゅう, Kujin-ryū) is a classical Japanese martial art that derives its roots from battlefield combat and "kaisha kenjutsu" as its focus.[11] Its hand-to-hand techniques assume that both combatants are wearing armor. The style places a heavy emphasis on taking down the opponent and finishing them off and quickly as possible; this is achieved by throwing the armored opponent off-balance using trips and throws and delivering the killing blow with a weapon. As a result, blows are only used in an extremely limited range of situations.[13] While it is not typically suited towards unarmed combat, Suekichi's predictive abilities make its techniques effective.

    Crescent Scythe

    Crescent Scythe (下か弦げん薙なぎ, Kagen Nagi) is the Kujin Style variant of a drop sweep meant to trip and/or unbalance the opponent by sweeping away their standing leg(s).[9]

    Falling Bucket

    Falling Bucket (釣つる瓶べ落おとし, Tsurube Otoshi) is where the user slips through his opponent's attack and grabs the back of their head in one hand and their chin in the other before violently driving their head into the ground using the hand grabbing the opponent's chin. Suekichi used this technique to devastating effect to end his fight with Himuro Ryo.[11]

    Lever Throw

    Lever Throw (梃て子こ外はずし, Teko Hazushi) is a grab to the opponent's punching arm, then turns into a wristlock (holding their wrist with one hand and their fist in another), and follows up with a throw o the ground.[9]

    Overturning Heaven and Earth

    Overturning Heaven and Earth (天てん地ち返かえし, Tenchikaeshi) is performed by grabbing the opponent's punching arm into a wristlock (holding their wrist with both hands), it utilizes the opponent's punching momentum to pull on their arm and throw them overhead before smashing them on to the floor.[9]

    Stance of Yin-Yang Intersection

    The Stance of Yin-Yang Intersection (陰おん陽よう交き差さ構かまえ, Onyō Kōsa Kamae) is a stance that presumably is used to utilize other Kujin Style techniques to their fullest extent.[6]

    Organ Breaker

    Organ Breaker (器官破壊者きかんはかいしゃ, Kikan Hakai-sha) is a technique in which the user focuses on a single vital point to crush with their whole body weight.

    Perfect Determinate Prediction

    Karo Yoshinari (賀露 吉成, Karo Yoshinari; "Yoshinari Karo"), also known as The Giant of the Sea of Japan (日本海の大人道, Nihonkai no Taijinji), is a fisherman who works for Ajiro Fisheries. He represented Ajiro Fisheries as their affiliated fighter during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

    Karo is a bulky heavy-looking older gentleman with an experienced, world-weary expression on his face. He is bald, with many scars littering his dome, has prominent cheekbones and has a thick white moustache which somewhat merges into his thick white beard.

    Karo wears fisherman's dungarees over a white short-sleeved t-shirt and a rope hachimaki on his head

    Karo is a polite, quiet man who seems to have a relaxed outlook on life. He is highly protective of the harbor and will do anything to protect it. History

    Karo is a man of legend among the men of the sea, with incredible stories surrounding him including: strangling a great white shark to death in the sea, single-handedly saving a crew from a sinking ship whilst in a rainstorm, sinking an environmental activist ship that trespassed into Japanese waters by himself and capturing the international terrorist Paul Manson.[2]

    Prior to the tournament, Karo found out about Toyo Electric Power Co.'s plans to close down Ajiro Fisheries and build over their harbour. Being informed of the deal Toyo had given them, Karo was told by Hayami Katsumasa that if he threw his match he would leave their harbour alone. However, later on, an unmarked envelope was delivered to Karo and the despairing man discovered Toyo's true plans for their harbour.[4]

    Karo is man who possesses extreme raw power and durability, being able to nonchalantly take all of Harada Tokujiro's blows before swatting him away[5] and tanking the heavy blows of a powerful Lethwei practitioner of Saw Paing's level.[6] He admits to not being a martial artist and, utilising his 40 years of fishing experience, fights in the same manner he would fish and fight creatures of the sea;[2][6] as a result, Karo launches attacks from unpredictable angles with his huge power. Karo is also a composed and pragmatic combatant, willingly taking a strong blow to the head in order to temporarily 'cure' the landsickness he was suffering from and thus enabling him to fight at full capacity.[7] By Jerry Tyson's judgement, he possesses a trunk on Adam Dudley's level and a sense of balance rivaling that of Sawada Keizaburo. This was shown when he threw a deceptively powerful punch from an unnatural posture on which he was balancing solely on his big toe and, later in the same fight, he moved incredibly quickly using a handstand flip and kicked Saw Paing in the face while in a handstand position, despite being over 165kg.[7] Bear Hug

    He squeezes and crushes his opponent with a powerful bear hug. Karo used this against Saw Paing as his finishing move but was taken down before he could fully execute it.[4]

    Whale Burial

    Whale Burial (鯨葬, Geisō)[2] is a technique performed taking on a stance resembling that of a person throwing a harpoon, in the form of a vicious punch.

(formerly) RELATIVES: Katahara Sayaka (Daughter) Katahara Retsudo (Son)

    Katahara Metsudo (片かた原はら 滅めつ堂どう, Katahara Metsudō; "Metsudo Katahara") is the director of Dainippon Bank and the former chairman of the Kengan Association who currently acts as the Association's advisor

    Metsudo is a distinguished old man with sharp defined facial features, noticeably defined wrinkles, long white hair that flows past his neck, piercing eyes, thick white eyebrows, a white thick moustache and a short thick beard that splits down the middle.

    He is typically seen wearing traditional high-class Japanese robes. Personality

    Metsudo is an extremely confident and wily individual who takes pride in the influential position he has maintained for scores of years. He is very enthusiastic and animated when announcing to others. His jovial person belies an incredible dominating and overwhelmingly presence that is said to feel like he is the supernatural compressed into human form; Metsudo was noted to feel like he was erupting with energy like a volcano with his outlandish pressure still growing despite his age.[4]

    He is shown to be incredibly whimsical and flexible, choosing to rarely enforce rules as long as breaking them makes things more interesting, and showing little regard for his own safety, much to the consternation of his Bodyguards. He relishes challenge, as evidenced by his changes to the tournament rules that put himself at a disadvantage. He enjoys spending time with Association members, fighters, and his relatives, and particularly enjoys the company of foreign visitors, introducing them to elements of Japanese culture, and trying out his heavily accented English.

    While he is the oldest living member of the Kengan Association, he is still often regarded as a newcomer by many members whose ancestors have been in the Association for centuries.

    Metsudo was a kamikaze pilot in World War II, and one of the few who survived his attack. Having been lucky enough to survive, he resolved to see just how far his luck could take him.[3]

    After the end of the war, Metsudo went to a black market run by a yakuza don named Shirai Ryu, and demanded that he let him run the market. By the end of the year, at the age of 25, Metsudo had grown the black market to be the biggest in the Kanto region, and he even stood up to the occupying American soldiers to protect his interests. This gained him not only money, connections, and experience, but also impressed Shirai enough that the latter gave him his Kengan Association membership. Furious that Shirai would hand over his membership to Metsudo, Shirai's deputy Kibayashi Taro hired Kure Erioh to assassinate Metsudo and claim the membership. Metsudo was subsequently attacked by Erioh, but he remained smiling even in the face of inevitable death, confident that he would not die. Sure enough, Shirai arrived to intervene, making Kibayashi call off the hit and letting Metsudo go free. Metsudo then invited Erioh to be his fighter in the Kengan matches.[5]

    Throughout the years that followed, Metsudo rose through the ranks of the Kengan Association with Erioh at his side, the latter gaining the epithet "The Fang of Metsudo", an epithet that would be passed along to all of his main fighters. He founded a company called Katahara Distribution, Inc., which was the company he represented when he eventually called for a tournament for the chairmanship of the Kengan Association. In order to issue this challenge and call for the tournament, he had to sign a contract stating that he would give up his assets, his membership, and even his life if he lost.[3]

    Before the final match of the tournament, he and Erioh reminisced about how far they had come. Metsudo told Erioh for the first time about his past as a kamikaze pilot, and when Erioh asked him to hire his son as a fighter if he died, Metsudo showed him the contract he signed. The two of them had a laugh, then headed to the arena for the final match.[3]

    While the details of the final match are unknown, Metsudo won, and became the new chairman of the Kengan Association. During his time as chairman, he founded or took over Dainippon Bank, the biggest bank in the country, built a personal army mainly consisting of orphans called the Bodyguards, hired four more fighters all dubbed "The Fang of Metsudo" and sired two children with two different women at the age of 70 and 71. His power within the Kengan Association grew day by day, and all those who tried to challenge him failed, deterring future attempts to dethrone him. At the age of 92, his luck has taken him to the point where he has become not only the undisputed ruler of the Kengan Association, but the most influential man in the Japanese political and financial establishment. And yet, this power and influence had grown dull to him, and he yearned for just one thing: for a challenger to appear and give him the same thrill he felt in his youth.

    Katahara Retsudo (片原 烈堂, Katahara Retsudō; "Retsudo Katahara") is the son of Katahara Metsudo, the younger half-brother of Katahara Sayaka and the captain of the Extermination Force.

    Retsudo is a good-looking young man with condescending look in his eyes, neatly styled red hair that falls over the right side of his face and is tied into a single distinct braided plait (which was done by his sister Sayaka),[2] thin dark eyebrows, a lack of facial hair and a distinguishing tattoo of Hebrew script that runs down the left side of his face, running over his left eye.

    Like the Bodyguards that serve his father, Retsudo is always seen wearing a smart formal black suit leaving the top buttons of his white shirt undone. Personality

    Retsudo is a man who is fully confident in his own abilities as well as the abilities of his peers and colleagues. To this end, he can come across as seeming very arrogant and condescending. However, he has a fierce loyalty to his fellow Bodyguards and appreciates when actions are made in their favor, as shown when he rewarded Tokita Ohma for subduing Kiryu Setsuna after the latter had killed some of the Bodyguards.[3]

    He is incredibly protective of his half-sister Sayaka, and disapproves of her revealing outfits and her naiveté with men. This leads his teammates on the Extermination Force to speculate that he has a sister complex; he does indeed have a severe sister complex.[1][2][4][5][6][7]

    Retsu's most prominent trait is his ambition to one day take over the Kengan Association. Like his father, he is very cunning and inteligent, being able to outsmart Gaoh Mukaku and make him give away his affiliation to the Worm. ADVERTISEMENT

    Plot

    Kengan Ashura

    Retsudo was first seen briefly telling the Fang to show them what true strength looked like. With the Kengan Association members arriving at Ganryu Island, Retsudo told his father that all their bases were covered.

    Retsu Katahara is immensely strong, being the only one to come between Kure Raian and Tokita Ohma when they fight.[8] He was able to easily out-do a Bodyguard captain. He effortlessly subdued the Black Messengers with the rest of his squad without breaking a sweat. Even one of the Black Messengers thought that he and the Extermination Force were not even human.[9] Even Kanoh Agito acknowledges Retsudo's strength, stating that he thought Retsudo should have succeded him as Fang of Metsudo.

    Retsu is very proficient in both armed and unarmed Silat, having the same movements as his martial arts teacher Misasa. He was able to easily defeat a man from the Inside with ease, who was stated by Rei Mikazuchi to be very skilled and could take out an average fighter. However, Retsu views himself as a "Jack of all Trades" and a master of none. He also states that he could never beat anyone who's mastered fighting bare-handed.

    In the two years since the tournament, Sayaka has become an official of the Kengan Association, playing an integral role in its administration.[4]

    Sayaka is an extremely beautiful young woman with smooth tanned skin, straight platinum hair that is partially plaited on the left side with long bangs hanging on the right side, red eyes and a voluptuous hourglass figure.

    In the first round, she wears a low-cut, high-slitted dark evening gown. This was later changed to a skirted corset with high boots in the second round, and then a shoulderless, midriff-baring, pencil-skirted leather dress during the final day.

    In the anime, Sayaka is mostly seen wearing a red ankle-length dress that splits at the bottom on the lower left side where it stops to her thigh and white high-heels. ADVERTISEMENT

    Personality

    Sayaka is an enthusiastic and bubbly individual who is very tolerant and open-minded, able to get along with anyone like Yoroizuka Saw Paing or Himuro Ryo without getting easily offended.[2]

    Kiozan Takeru (鬼き王おう山ざん 尊たける, Kiōzan Takeru), also known as The Ozeki Boss (大関おぜき番長ばんちょう, Ōzeki Banchō), is a professional jūryō sumo wrestler and an affiliated fighter within the Kengan matches. He represented Magatanien during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. He had a terrible reputation for always getting into fights, being considered a failure in comparison to his yokozuna older brothers

    Kiozan, befitting of a sumo wrestler, is an extremely bulky, heavy-set individual with an angular face, thin arrogant eyes, short black eyebrows and black hair set into a traditional ponytail with a single strand of hair falling over the left side of his face. Unlike many of his peers and sumo wrestlers in real life, Takeru's muscles are very prominent, even his abdominals, resembling more of a power lifter or even a bodybuilder.

    Kiozan typically has an intense or rather aggressive gaze. He also has multiple wrappings on his arms and elbows, though these seem to change or are simply not visible under his attire. Outside of battle, Kiozan wears a traditional kimono with one arm resting inside it. In battle, he wears a traditional mawashi.

    As an ozeki in Chapter 221 of Omega, Kiozan had become much bulkier, losing muscle definition in favor of a more traditional sumo build. Personality

    Kiozan is a notably arrogant individual who supposedly takes great pride in his style of 'ancient' sumo, considering modern sumo to be a failure. As a man who seeks to fight the strongest and prove his way of sumo is the best, he is easily annoyed and angered when he feels like his pride has been disrespected. After his defeat to Sekibayashi Jun in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Takeru appeared to have become a lot more respectful to his martial art, now taking modern sumo seriously again.[7] ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    Kiozan, a younger brother to distinguished yokozunas over time had his faith in sumo as a martial art diminish, stricken with the belief that with the sumo wrestler's strong body, that restricting such a body to only simple slaps was foolish. In response, he began integrating other strikes into his style and dubbing it "ancient sumo" much to the chagrin of his older brothers who believe Takeru's style to be blasphemous to sumo.[3]

    At some point prior to the tournament, Kiozan annihilated the members of the Manly Kickboxing Gym before easily dispatching its boss, Haga Haruki, a GO-1 Grand Prix heavyweight champion.

    Kiohzan Takeru is an extremely physically powerful professional sumo wrestler. His muscular strength is immense, with his legs being particularly strong, due to being trained from dawn till dusk, 365 days a year. As a result of his incredible leg strength, Kiozan is deceptively fast despite his rather large and heavy build, being able to knock out a champion kick-boxer before the man even had time to react.[3]

    Kiozan is an adept practitioner of sumo techniques. He is able to launch powerful tsuppari (突つっ張ぱり, "thrust") with Kiozan's individual harite (張はり手て, open hand strikes) being capable of breaking teppo poles in half; a single harite left his hand imprinted into the stone arena wall.[8] Before his loss to Jun, Kiozan used a form of "ancient" sumo, a form that doesn't limit the types of techniques he can use; these techniques resemble Kinjite, such as kicking, grabbing the opponent's hair, and striking with a closed fist. Despite the seeming advantages of this form of sumo, it is not properly compatible with a sumo's body type, thus draining Kiozan's stamina a lot faster than usual.[9]

    Two years after the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, after abandoning "ancient" sumo in favor of refining his modern sumo techniques, Yamashita Kazuo noted that Kiozan had been getting more and more powerful by the day.[

    Raging Vigour (激げき旺おう, Gekiō) is a variant of the ramming charge, which involves Kiozan going into the traditional sumo squatting position and then lowering it even further, so his center of gravity is as low as possible, before charging at his opponent at nigh-untraceable speeds to the point where even Kazuo's Fist Eye couldn't follow him. The technique is only possible due to Kiozan's particularly powerful legs (even by a sumo's standards of Makuuchi, who can run 100m in 13 seconds with a body of 150kg), with the charging strike being twice as fast and four times as powerful as normal. The technique has an offensive range of 4.55 meters and, while it limits him to forward motion, his speed in this range exceeds that of even Murobuchi Gozo.[11] Despite its great power, this technique puts strong internal pressure and strain on Kiozan's legs, making him unable to stand up after using it.

    Four years after the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Kiozan seems to overcome it's weakness, as he still manages to fight even after using it. It is now powerful enough to overcome Ohma's Demonsbane

    Gunji is a large man, roughly the same height and size as Takayama Minoru, with squared features, ruffled blonde hair and sideburns, a near-permanent grinning expression and multiple scars on his face. He is always seen wearing a pair of tinted glasses and wears the typical white suit of the Guardians. Personality

    Gunji appears to be a very confident and derisive individual, as seen when he arrogantly mocked Takayama Minoru before fighting him.[2] However, he also appears to be cautious to a degree as he was willing to abandon his position when he thought Hayami's plans were doomed to fail.[3] Plot

    He and Long Min were introduced as Hayami Katsumasa's highest ranked Guardians, mirroring those of Katahara Metsudo.

    With Long having seemingly gone missing for a while, Gunji told him it was time for them to get ready to move.

    Later, after Julius Reinhold was knocked out of the tournament by Wakatsuki Takeshi, Gunji suggested to Long Min that they cut their losses and abandon Hayami as things weren't looking good for them. However Long confidently told Gunji to stay put as everything would fall into place.

    Soon, after the second round had ended, Gunji and the other Guardians began their "revolution". With Gunji in the same room as Hayami and the Kengan Association members, he confidently took on the Bodyguards and Kure Clan members that arrived to oppose them. With Gunji hearing of their side being put on the back foot, he exclaimed that it didn't matter as long as they had Katahara's head. At that, Takayama Minoru stepped up to fight him. In a short fight, Takayama brutally defeated Gunji. ADVERTISEMENT

    Power & Abilities

    Being the top-ranked Guardian, Gunji has won his way through the ranked matches with all the other Guardians and defended his position at the top, highlighting that he is a powerful individual. During Hayami's attempted coup, members of the Kure Clan stated that Gunji has killed four of their members, mentioning he was dangerous even for them.[2] However, he was no match for Takayama Minoru who curb-stomped him in a very short and brutal fight. Gunji's weapon of choice is a sharp katana, and he also carries a police baton as a sidearm.

    Komada Shigeru (駒こま田だ 茂しげる; "Shigeru Komada"), also known as Komada the Deva King (仁に王おうの駒こま田だ, Niō no Komada), is a yakuza and former affiliated fighter of the Nogi Group.

    Shigeru is a tall, physically imposing man with a huge tattoo on his back of a Deva, which is the origin of his nickname "The Deva King". Personality

    When provoked into a fight, Shigeru is easy to enrage. A simple insult from Ohma is enough to set him off. That being said, he's shown to not start fights when unnecessary, an example being his courteous behavior with his future boss, Lihito, contrasting future coworker Ivan Karaev's high temper at the time. ADVERTISEMENT

    Plot

    Shigeru was supposed to be the representative fighter for Hideki Nogi's company, but when Ohma defeated him in an alleyway, he ended up taking his place and got fired.

    Some time after this defeat, having been rejected by eighty different businesses, Komada ended up working under Lihito at the latter's new company, SF Cold Storage alongside Ivan.

    During the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, he and Ivan traveled to Ganryu Island as well. He and Ivan were accosted by some of Katsumasa Hayami's Guardians during the latter's attempted coup, but were saved after Bando Yohei brutally killed them all after being released from his bindings. Power & Abilities

    Shigeru is a powerful combatant who fought with a street brawling style coupled with his inhumanly remarkable strength and endurance. When fighting Ohma, he kicked a concrete wall with enough power to create a hole in it[2] and with just one punch he could seriously injure a regular person. However Komada is not a fast at all, being easily bested by a faster fighter. As shown during his brief scuffle with Ohma, Komada has no issues with fighting dirty

    Kono Haruo (河こう野の 春はる夫お, Kōno Haruo; "Haruo Kohno"), also known as The Destroyer (デストロイヤー, Desutoroiyā), is a Super Japan Pro Wrestler and an affiliated fighter within the Kengan matches. During the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, he represented Nentendo as their affiliated fighter.

    Haruo is easily the biggest fighter in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, with an extremely heavy set, bulky, overweight frame. He has a chubby hairless face, generally squinted eyes and black hair that is neatly combed and parted to each side with a flick of hair sprouting from the top. Haruo wears a pair of circular glasses, as well as a pair of dungarees with the company he is representing, Nentendo, imprinted on the top of it. After his encounter with Sekibayashi Jun, he trades this in for a Super Japan Pro Wrestling t-shirt.

    Haru Haruo when he was Haru When Haruo was still "Haru", he was an extremely tall, muscularly well-defined youth with his hair set into locks that fell either side his head. At that time he wore only a loincloth and weighed an impressive 158kg.[1]

    Two years after the events of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Haruo has grown even larger with his CJW t-shirt barely fitting over his stomach. Jose Kanzaki noted that Haruo gains at least 10kg every tour.[7] ADVERTISEMENT

    Personality

    Haruo is extremely lazy and addicted to computer games and sweets. He seemed disinterested before fighting Akoya, and would have rather played video games. He is easily frustrated when presented with challenges, whether in video games or in fighting, and throws frequent tantrums which require near-constant repairs to his house.

    Haruo, when still "Haru", was a kind and caring person to his village with the villagers seeing him as a symbol of strength and protectiveness. This was shown by how reluctant he was to leave the village after Kono Akio came to recruit him and the tears he shed when he was leaving.

    Two years after the events of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Haruo is a more upbeat and jovial person, having found a new reason for living and training under Sekibayashi Jun and Kurachi Karugo. His voracious appetite has not wavered however, enthusiastically enjoying meal times when they present themselves. He also values his friendships dearly as shown when Jose Kanzaki was beaten on the edge of his life and put in critical condition flying into rage he values his friendship more the Kegan vs Purgatory situation as he along with Sekibayashi decided to sit it out and wait for Jose recovers. ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    Growing up, many legends surrounded Haru, with his most defining one being when he effortlessly cleared his coming of age trial at the age of 15. From this point, in his village, Haru came to be known as the strongest of the Gurkhas and he soon became the village leader. However, when Kono Akio came to recruit Haru, he had a tough time thinking about leaving the tribe. But with the approval of the tribe, a tear stricken Haru left the village to face strong opponents, unaware that Kono Akio had other plans in store for him.[2]

    Upon coming to Japan, Haru was absorbed into the wonders and vices of his new environment, and soon gained a massive amount of weight, began wearing glasses, and became addicted to sweets and video games. This all contributed to the making of his current identity of "Kono Haruo".[2]

    Kono Haruo is extremely physically powerful, boasting incredible physical strength, durability and endurance. His strength is great enough that with just a full-body tackle, he was capable of sending Akoya Seishu hurtling destructively into the arena wall.[8] Even as a teenager, Haruo was already capable of climbing a cliff carrying a live weight of around 480kg with ease.[2] Haruo was also resilient enough to take many of Akoya's attacks before being taken down. Even as he was passing out, he managed to stop the referee and keep fighting using his sheer will.[9] However, despite his great physical endurance, his knees are rather vulnerable due to having to constantly carry his large bulk.[10] Haruo's most impressive physical capabilities are his unprecedented agility and physical speed; considering his incredible size and weight, Haruo moves his 315kg frame with shockingly deft lightness.[8] An example was when he evaded Akoya's kick with a backflip and then tackled him before the latter even had a chance to dodge.[8]

    During the Berserker Bowl, Haruo has shown he has mastered wrestling in a style similar to Sekiyabashi's. He was strong enough to defeat Himuro Ryo with a powerful lariat. It was also shown that Haruo's leg has been permanently damaged from his fight with Akoya, and has become his weak point.

    Haruo has been shown to have become more observant, as seen during Sekiyabashi's fight with Okubo Naoya. Extreme Metabolic Rate

    Haruo apparently has the ability to drastically increase his metabolic rate, enabling him to purge the "toxins" in his body at astounding speed; during his fight against Akoya Seishu, this ability caused him to lose weight at a reality-defying rate.[10] When Haruo's "toxins" were being purged, his physical speed and strength increased causing his attacks to become even stronger. In this state, Haruo was striking with such speed and power that Akoya couldn't counter properly and the attacks were rattling Akoya's bones even with Akoya's notorious defenses.[10]

    Bear Killer

    Bear Killer (熊くま殺ころし, Kuma Koroshi) is a vicious overhand punch. The full effects weren't seen as Akoya dodged before it could strike.[8]

    STATUS: Alive AGE: Unknown[1] BIRTHDAY: May 25th[1] HEIGHT: 164cm[1] WEIGHT: 52kg[1] GENDER: Female AFFILIATIONS: Gold Pleasure Group OCCUPATION: CEO of Gold Pleasure Group RELATIVES: Hayami Katsumasa (Father)[2] Hayami Masaki (Adoptive brother)

    Kurayoshi Rino (倉くら吉よし 理り乃の, "Rino Kurayoshi"), also known as the Queen Bee (女じょ王おう蜂ばち, Joōbachi), is the representative of Gold Pleasure Group, a member of the Kengan Association and the biological daughter of Hayami Katsumasa.

    Rino is an overall beautiful and classy-looking woman with mid-back length blond hair (maroon-colored in anime) that is styled in curly ringlets at the tips where it two hair strands falls past her neck to her sizeable chest with bangs swept to the left side, an hourglass figure and full lips neatly painted with red lipstick.

    She wears an ankle-length sleeveless dress that exposes her chest/back and high heels.

    In the manga, the top part of her dress has flower patterns all over it and she wears light-colored high heels. In Chapter 41, she was seen wearing a beaded necklace with a heart in the middle. Her design in the anime is much simpler where her dress is plain white and her high heels are a yale-blue color.

    Rino is an "alpha female", able to manipulate and make "alpha males" submit to her on a whim. Despite her standing as a Kengan Association member, she has a revulsion towards "unnatural deaths" (such as the deaths caused in the Kengan matches).[2] As a result, whenever one of Rino's fighters lost just a single match, she would "order" them to quit using her power so that they wouldn't die.[2] Plot

    Kengan Ashura

    First appearing facing off against Iwami Heavy Industries in a Kengan match before the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, she watched as her new fighter Mikazuchi Rei nonchalantly defeated Hong Xiao-Hu. With Xiao-Hu refusing to quit, Rino stepped in and used her special ability to negate his ability to suppress his pain, causing him to collapse in agony.

    On the day of the tournament after arriving at Ganryu Island, Rino and Rei are seen watching the matches before Rei's match with Nezu Masami in the first round where Rei instantly knocks out. After the match, Rino congratulates Rei for winning and not killing as he cuddles close to her chest.

    Rino was later seen again with Mion and Otoichi as Rei prepares to fight against Kuroki Gensai. Before the fight, Rei asks for Rino's help by having her hypnotizing him, which she does so and this makes him much faster. As Rei continues fighting even as he starts to weaken, he attempts to use Lightning Flash once more, but Kuroki countered powerfully and Rei was seriously damaged in the process. As Rei uses all his strength, Kuroki retaliates by landing "a full power low strike which was thrown with perfect timing. The impact traveled through the viscera, until it reached the heart.", which marks the final blow and Rei loses consciousness, causing Rino's entire face to be covered in a shadow. As Mion and Otoichi worriedly call out to Rino from behind, she calls out Rei's name.

    After the match, Rino is later seen comforting Rei and tells him that he has fought well. However, Rei denies her words and announces that he would think of a way to defeat Kuroki as he sits up, causing Rino to look at him with a cold stare look on her face as she realizes "that their parting was near."

    Reproductive Instincts

    Known as Reproductive Instincts (性本能, Sei Hon'nō), they give Rino the mysterious and strong power to be able to issue verbal "orders" that transcend simple persuasion and suppress the "ego instincts" of any male, forcing them into servitude; as long as they are "male", they cannot reject her.[3] Rino's "orders" can be split into varying levels: a powerful order is essentially "brainwashing" with the recipient becoming a berserker until they die; however, this level of "order" severely reduces the recipient's rational ability which substantially decreases their ability to cope with the unexpected.[4] As such, a weaker strength of "order" allows the recipient to retain their rationality and reasoning ability.[4] By simply touching Hong Xiao-Hu on the forehead, Rino was able to turn off the man's opiate control making him susceptible to the pain he had been shutting out.[5]

    An anecdote of her tells: once, a drunk man with ties to the yakuza was committing acts of violence at a place she managed. However, once she arrived, she calmed the riot down without resorting to any violence with the yakuza who valued honour over everything breaking down in tears in public. This event is still told as part of the "legend" of Kurayoshi Rino.[5]

    Kure Erioh (呉くれ 恵え利り央おう, Kure Eriō; "Erioh Kure"), also known as The Mighty Demon (強ごう魔ま, Gōma),[6] was the patriarch of the Kure Clan and also the former fighter of former Kengan Association chairman, Katahara Metsudo.

    Erioh was an elderly man with slicked-back silver hair and a wrinkled face befitting his age. He wore traditional Japanese attire rather than more modern clothes, contrasting the rest of the Kure.

    In his youth, his appearance was very similar to his grand-relative Kure Raian. Personality

    Erioh was an upstanding man who was fiercely protective over his family and its reputation, especially in regards to his great-granddaughter Kure Karura.[2] Erioh puts his clan's pride above even its reputation. If need be, he will even put the clan's reputation on the line if it meant lost pride can be recovered.

    Erioh was a lot more vicious and headstrong when he was younger, but age had mellowed him out; now possessing a dignified sense of self as the patriarch of his clan. However, forms of disrespect and slander will bring back the vicious demon that still dwells within.[2] ADVERTISEMENT

    History

    As a teenager, Erioh left the Kure Clan due to a disagreement, and decided to become the top assassin his own way. Shortly after World War II, at the age of 20, he was contracted by Kibayashi Taro, deputy of the Kanto Shirai Group, to kill Katahara Metsudo, and steal his newly-acquired Kengan Association membership. However, just before he could finish his hit, the don of the Shirai Group, Shirai Ryu, intervened, forcing Kibayashi to call off the hit. Impressed by Katahara Metsudo's luck and tenacity, Erioh agreed to become his fighter, to see just how far his luck could take him, and witness the moment it ran out.[7]

    As the first "Fang of Metsudo", Erioh was instrumental in Metsudo's rise to power, winning his first match in mere seconds and going on to be nearly undefeated. However, he did face defeat once, a defeat so crushing that it spurred him to return to the Kure Clan and master their techniques. In the meantime, he got married and had two children.[8]

    Eventually, Metsudo made a bid to become the chairman of the Kengan Association, and entered Erioh as his fighter. Before the final match, Erioh and Metsudo reminisced about how far they had come together. Erioh told Metsudo that he felt like he could die any minute, and asked Metsudo to hire his older son, who was seven at the time, as his fighter if he should die. Metsudo declined, informing Erioh that he signed a contract stating that if he lost in the tournament, he would lose everything - even his life. The two shared a laugh, then headed for the arena to enter the final match.[8]

    While the details of the final match are unknown at present, Erioh won, making Katahara Metsudo the new Kengan Association chairman. He left Metsudo's service at an unspecified time and returned to the Kure Clan, eventually becoming its patriarch.

    Erioh was also responsible for Hayami Katsumasa's acid burn, splashing it on his face after his failed coup.

    At an unknown point in time, Erioh killed Fabio Wu's brother.

    As the patriarch of the renowned Kure Clan, as well as a former Fang of Metsudo, Erioh can be assumed to have once boasted incredible offensive fighting power. How much has waned due to his increasing age is unknown, though he was able to nonchalantly take down some of Hayami Katsumasa's Guardians during the latter's revolution.[9]

    Even with his advanced age, Erioh remained a lethal combatant. While he no longer possessed the strength from his youth, use of weaponry and Removal allowed him to overwhelm and kill both Fabio and Solomon with ease. Kure Clan, Secret Technique: Removal

    Erioh's Removal rate is 100%, being one of the only characters capable of fully releasing their latent power. By the time he fought in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament finals back in his prime, he could only maintain it for around 30 seconds (due to the injuries he had sustained).[8] However, in his elderly age, when he did accidentally begin to use the Removal, the pressure he exuded was strong enough to physically disrupt his immediate environment, suggesting that his Removal is still powerful even at his advanced age.[10]

She is also the younger sister of Kure Raian.[3] In the past two years since the Kengan Annihilation Tournament, Fusui has become the liaison between the Kure Clan and the Kengan Association.

    Fusui is an attractive young woman with a cute face, dainty facial features, a bob of black hair with a large bang that floats in between her eyes, a moderately sized bust and the dark sclera and white irises associated with the Kure Clan. Personality

    Fusui is an honours student at Koyo Academy.[1] She is very up-to-date with the latest trends, and has even been seen texting and aiming her sniper scope at the same time. She appears to be a playful person and enjoys teasing her relatives. She is also very kind to almost everyone around her, she also felt bad for lying to Kazuo about Ohma's survival but kept it secret. Plot

    Kengan Ashura

    Keeping her eye on her target, her relative Henzo came up with food before worrying about why Raian was chosen as the representative, with Fusui agreeing that her brother was crazy. Henzo then asked if their target had made any moves and she replied he hadn't before wondering why their grandfather had ordered them to keep an eye on their 'client' in the first place.

    Later, she observed as the ground team prepared to attack Yamashita Kenzo's house.

    During Hayami Katsumasa's attempted coup, she and Henzo watched as Raian took on Moro, Morooka and some other Guardians.

    She was present with Horio when Erioh sobbed about having no choice but to give Ohma his blessing to marry Karla.

    Power & Abilities

    She is skilled at sniping, shooting and tracking,[1] and was the person chosen to keep an eye on Yamashita Kenzo, using a sniper rifle to do so. Fusui is known to have a Removal release rate of 28%;[5] she is able to use Removal in localised areas of her body, being able to release in her sniping eye

    Hollis is a bulky man with straight black hair left to hang in a bobcut style, strong facial features and a generally stern expression on his face. Personality

    Hollis is a generally serious and discerning individual. However, he retains a polite demeanour when talking to others. ADVERTISEMENT

    Plot

    Kengan Ashura

    Hollis was seen with Erioh and Raian having observed Tokita Ohma's fight against Sekibayashi Jun and then later with the rest of the Kure Clan as Erioh mused on who to send to the Kengan Annihilation Tournament for Under Mount Inc.

    On the S.S. Kengan, he and Reiichi retrieved their younger relative Karura and brought her back to their patriarch. With Erioh not happy about Karura's crush on Ohma, Hollis listened as Erioh raged. Later, Hollis sought out Mikazuchi Rei, asking him why he had entered the tournament even though it clashed with the Mikazuchi Clan's creed. Rei avoided the question, and stated that they should settle whether the Kure or the Mikazuchi were better once and for all. However, before the two could fight, Kurayoshi Rino arrived and Rei promptly left, leaving Hollis in disbelief that he had broken his creed for a woman.

    On the first day of the tournament, Hollis watched with Horio and Reiichi as Raian took on Mokichi Robinson. After Mokichi smashed Raian into the ground, Hollis then warned his relatives that it would no longer be a fight. He then watched as Raian ruthlessly brutalised and fatally defeated Mokichi.

    Hollis is presumably one of the more powerful members of the Kure Clan, to the extent that Katahara Metsudo expected that he, not Raian, would represent their clan in the tournament.[6] While he lacks the raw power that Raian has, it is implied that he is more disciplined and does not resort merely to brute force. His Removal is capable of unlocking 80% of his latent power.[7]

    She wears a smart black waistcoat over a white long-sleeved shirt, with a black tie, a short black skirt and simple dark pumps. Personality

    She appears to be a flighty person with underlying traits of cunning, befitting the surveillance role given to her by Nogi.

    At the end of the tournament, it is revealed she was infiltrating the Nogi Group at the behest of Katahara Metsudo, revealing that she was from the Inside, just like Tokita Ohma, whom she was sent to spy on.[2] Despite all this, she chose to leave Katahara Metsudo to stay with Yamashita Kazuo as she had grown fond of him and his group of friends, claiming that he was still a novice to which she needed to keep her eyes on his actions. Plot

    Kengan Ashura

    When the various Kengan Association members were boarding the ships that would take them to the tournament's venue, she made herself apparent and introduced herself to Yamashita Kazuo, Akiyama Kaede and Tokita Ohma as Kazuo's new secretary. Getting on board the S.S. Annihilation with the others, Rin informed Kazuo about betting on who the five winners of the preliminaries would be. With the preliminaries ending after only 15 minutes, Rin informed Nogi of Kazuo's ability to correctly name all five winners. At that, she and all the other corporation associates from the winning group, all then boarded the S.S. Kengan (but not before witnessing the power of Metsudo's Bodyguards first-hand).

    After arriving at Ganryu Island, Rin and everyone else relaxed and unwound for the first day. The next day, the Kengan Annihilation Tournament began in earnest with Rin watching the first round alongside Akiyama and Kazuo. After Ohma's victory over Inaba Ryo, Rin spied on him as he exited a bathroom with his mouth covered in blood and informed Nogi that Ohma's time was running out.

    On the day of the second round, Rin again watched the tournament's fights alongside Akiyama. During Hayami's attempted coup, Rin was inside the Kengan Dome watching the entertainment with Nogi and Akiyama.

    On the final day, Rin watched the final day of tournament. In the break between the quarter-finals and semi-finals, Rin hurriedly went to retrieve Ohma to go and save Kazuo, as Kiryu had put him in danger. Rin watched the rest of the tournament as Kuroki Gensai and Motorhead Motors were crowned winners.

    Lihito (理り人ひと, Rihito), also known as The Superman (超ちょう人ぢん, Chōjin), is the president of Super Frozen Cold Storage and an affiliated fighter within the Kengan matches. He was the first fighter-president in the Kengan Association's history. Two years later, Lihito was chosen as one of the 13 representatives of the Kengan Association in the Kengan Association VS Purgatory Tournament. Two years after that tournament, Lihito participated in and later became the champion of the Berserker Bowl.

    Lihito is a brute of a man with a bulky, powerful build, a hairless face, messy blonde hair and small blonde eyebrows. He has an animated facial expression, usually beaming with confidence. Personality

    Lihito is a very self-confident person who doesn't have much in the way of nous, being easily tricked into becoming part of Nogi's team to try and win the Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

    He is also a shameless pervert who is always trying it on with women. Akiyama Kaede is one such unfortunate target of his shameless ways. His behavior with her borders on outright harrassment, insistently trying with her regardless of her very openly disliking the notion. History

    At the age of 11, Lihito tore apart his first coin with his incredible grip strength.[9] During his time at Bakata High School, Lihito encountered Sawada Keizaburo for the first time, starting their vitriolic rivalry.[

    Lihito is a physically powerful combatant with impressive physical strength, durability and endurance, being able to continue fighting after Ohma's initial pummeling of him. His brute strength was shown when he managed to break free from Shimoda Saji's supposedly unbreakable submission hold.[11]

    Having trained with Kuroki Gensai in the two years since the Kengan Annihilation Tournament and learned "the basics" of the Kaiwan Style from him,[12] Lihito has markedly improved his fighting prowess. Kuroki mentioned that Lihito's current style was definitely the Kaiwan Style at its base, but was more accurately a hybrid of the "Nakata Ichiro Style" and the Kaiwan Style.[12] Yamashita Kazuo noted that his stance had become more orthodox and compact and his moves had become efficient, being able to string together combinations.[13] Lihito also appeared to have learned some form of foresight from his master, having improved his insight as shown while fighting Falcon.

    Lihito's strength and prowess was acknowledged by two of Purgatory's A-list Gladiators, Liu Dongcheng and Naidan Mönkhbat. Despite his loss, it was speculated by the two that he could potentially had been an A-list Gladiator if he joined Purgatory, or at the very least in the upper echelons of the B-list.

    By the time of the Berserker Bowl, Kuroki described Lihito at the disgression stage of "shuhari". Struggling to coordinate his mind and his instincts, this impacted Lihito's perforamnce against Death Crow Jr in the preliminaries and Saw Paing in their semi-final match. Fighters like Ohma noted that Lihito's attacks were "disjointed". Once Lihito reached the transcendant stage of "shuhari", the connection of his training and his talents properly formed, quickly turning the tides in his stalemate with Saw Paing and won soon after. In the finals match against Koga, Lihito beaten him soundly without taking any damage. He even circumvented the Fist Eye with a feint, and won the match that way.

    Lihito's special technique, Razor's Edge (レイザー・エッジ, Reizā Ejji), came about due to his superhuman pinch grip. Using this immense pinch grip strength on top of his naturally incredible physical prowess, Lihito is able to tear through flesh, bone and even armour just like a razor.[14][12] However, the drawback to the technique is that it requires a large range of motion to allow for the necessary acceleration needed to tear through things;[9] as such, closing the distance or simply blocking the slicing movement is enough to nullify the Razor's Edge. Since his fight with Ohma, he has improved on this aspect, now being able to tear through things with a much smaller range of motion.[15] His technique was strong enough to match against Saw Paing's Hammer of Burma with the latter noting how the former's fingers are tough as they remain unbroken.[16][17] Kuroki Gensai considered this technique to be heaven-sent, and that even he couldn't replicate it.[18]

48. #48Long Min

    Keys: Long Min

    STATUS: Deceased AGE: 29[1] BIRTHDAY: August 3rd[1] HEIGHT: 190cm[1] WEIGHT: 88kg[1] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Worm Toyo Electric Power Co. OCCUPATION: Guardian Worm Agent FIGHTING STYLE: Chinese Swordsmanship Niko Style

    Long Min (龍ロン 旼ミン, Ron Min) was the second-ranked Guardian of Katsumasa Hayami, as well as a loaned member of the Worm.

    Long Min was a tall, youthful man of Chinese descent. He had straight shoulder-length black hair, a single strand of hair always loose, and a subtly arrogant and condescending expression on his face. Like the other Guardians, Long wore a completely white suit with a white tie and shirt. He had a centipede-like tattoo on his left collarbone. Personality

    Long Min possessed an air of composed arrogance about him, never losing his cool in any situation and taking things at his own pace. Plot

    He and Gunji Kito were introduced as Katsumasa Hayami's highest ranked Guardians, mirroring those of Metsudo Katahara.

    Having seemingly gone missing for a while, Gunji told Long it was time for them to get ready to move.

    Later, after Julius Reinhold was knocked out of the tournament by Takeshi Wakatsuki, Gunji suggested that they cut their losses and abandon Hayami as things weren't looking good for them. However Long confidently told Gunji to stay put as everything would fall into place.

    Soon, after the second round had ended, Long Min and the other Guardians began their "revolution". Long and his group encountered Kaolan Wongsawat, Suekichi Kaneda, Adam Dudley and Cosmo Imai in a corridor of the Kengan Dome, noting they had bad luck running into him. At that, he began skilfully and dangerously fending them off with his dao, swinging it in wide arcs. Despite never really being in any real danger, Long suddenly left after being receiving an unknown order. Later, he killed a few more Bodyguards as he escaped and informed his mysterious associate about being unable to retrieve Ohma Tokita and take control of the Kengan Association.

    Before he could escape Ganryu Island, he was killed by Fei Wangfang. ADVERTISEMENT

    Power & Abilities

    As the number-two man of the Guardians, Long Min had consistently defended his position in the Guardians' rankings, overcoming all but Gunji Kito. He was very proficient in the use of a liuyedao, and used the tassel on its hilt to swing it in wide arcs.[2] Long Min claimed that his sword skill is "impenetrable". While fighting against Kaolan, Suekichi, Adam and Cosmo in the corridor of Kengan Dome, he exhibited swinging motions with the dao in a sphere-like range that not even Gaolang or Adam could get past.[3] Despite being number two, Long Min was noted to be leagues more dangerous than Kito Gunji[4] with his true power probably being even greater than Gunji's.[1] Possessing Spirit

    The technique Long Min used to increase his damage output. While in this form, his skin turned red, his hair seemed to float in the air and his heartbeat grew loud enough to be heard from a distance. While this technique is meant to be used as a trump card or last resort, Long Min seemed to use it more liberally to overwhelm his opponents.[5]

    While the Possessing Spirit posed serious drawbacks to the user, Long Min was killed by Wangfang and his superior technique long before he showed the side effects.

49. #49Matsuda Tomoko

    Keys: Matsuda Tomoko

    STATUS: Alive AGE: 22[1] BIRTHDAY: May 4th[1] HEIGHT: 160cm[1] WEIGHT: 48kg[1] GENDER: Female AFFILIATIONS: Koyo Academy Group OCCUPATION: Secretary for Koyo Acadmy Group RELATIVES: Matsuda Kei (Sister)

    Matsuda Tomoko (松田 智子, Matsuda Tomoko; "Tomoko Matsuda") is the board chair secretary of the Koyo Academy Group.

    Tomoko is a nice-looking young lady with black hair set in a bob style with bangs swept to the right side, brown eyes and a mole on the lower left side of her lips.

    She generally wears a conservative smart style of dress, fitting of her position. Personality

    Tomoko is a slightly naive person who is unexpectedly unnerved by the brutality that is environment that surrounds the Kengan matches. She is very perverted and enjoys the manservice provided in the Kengan fights. To that end, she is probably the person who is enjoying the Kengan Annihilation Tournament the most.[1] Plot

    Tomoko was first seen observing the Koyo Academy Group's fighter applicants' battle royale. Finding the brutality of it all a little overwhelming, she noted to Soryuin Shion her surprise that her former teacher Ozu Toshio was the battle royale's examiner. With Shion asking her what he thought of the calm man sitting by himself, Tomoko noted that he was her type. As Ozu attacked the man, Tomoko alerted Shion to the fact that there was one too many people within the arena. As the man casually eliminated Ozu, Shion and Tomoko went down to meet him. Revealing his intentions, the man introduced himself as Kiryu Setsuna before agreeing to become Koyo's affiliated fighter.

    She traveled with Shion and Kiryu as they boarded the S.S. Kengan in preparation to journey to the location of the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. While on board, she was briefly approached by Hatsumi Sen until Shion made him scarce.

    On Ganryu Island, during the one day interim before the tournament's start, Tomoko ogled the countless well muscled men lingering the island as well as fantasising a yaoi situation between Kiryu and Tokita Ohma.

    During the progression of the tournament's first round, Tomoko bumped into Yamashita Kazuo and introduced Kiryu to him. With Mockey Mouse and Honald Duck suddenly appearing, she flipped into fangirl mode, excitedly embracing Mockey. However, she fainted in shock when the person inside Mockey took the costume off.

50. #50Meguro Masaki

    Keys: Meguro Masaki

    STATUS: Deceased AGE: 33[1] BIRTHPLACE: Japan BIRTHDAY: August 25th[1] HEIGHT: 195cm (6'5")[1][2] WEIGHT: 130kg (287lbs)[1][2] GENDER: Male AFFILIATIONS: Toyo Electric Power Co. Umiichi Securities OCCUPATION: Mercenary Affiliated Fighter FIGHTING STYLE: Judo RELATIVES: Meguro Hiroki (Father) Hayami Masaki (Clone/"Younger Brother") KNOWN MATCH WINS: 0 KNOWN MATCH LOSSES: 1[3]

    Meguro Masaki (目め黒ぐろ 正ま樹さき, Meguro Masaki; "Masaki Meguro"), also known as The Crying Man (泣なき男おとこ, Nakiotoko), was a murderous mercenary working under Hayami Katsumasa. Under Hayami's orders, he became the affiliated fighter for Umiichi Securities during the Kengan Annihilation Tournament.

    Meguro was a heavy-set man, with a notably muscular upper body and an overall hunched, bestial posture. He had a messy mop of spiky black hair on his head, psychotic eyes, a dark strip tattooed across the middle of his face from ear to ear and a seemingly permanent open-mouthed grin with his abnormally long tongue lolling out. Meguro wore dark coveralls with the middle tied with rope and he always went barefoot. Before this outfit, Meguro would sport a normal black judogi. Personality

    Meguro could be described as a clinically insane person who had severe sadistic, masochistic and psychopathic tendencies. He greatly enjoyed the act of murder and constantly uttered to himself how he should go about the act, always wondering whether the kill would be better than the murder of his father. His sheer ecstasy when fighting and killing lead him to cry blood, earning him the nickname the "Crying Man". He was also incredibly impatient, which was a weakness of his.[1]

    In his younger days, for a very long time Meguro was able to hide his true nature and he put up an alarmingly gentle, loving façade for thirteen years, with all those around him respecting him for his talent and behaviour. After freeing himself of the burden of hiding his true nature, he since devolved into nothing more than a beast.

    Meguro was the son of judo master Meguro Hiroki, also known as "Meguro the Demon". He started practising judo at the age of 7 and at 12 years of age he won the National Youth Judo Tournament. Unbeknownst to him, his talent and strength was what spurred Arashiyama Jurota to return to the judo world to meet him as his nemesis.

    By the age of 13, Meguro had become his father's dojo's prized pupils; only his father and three others were able to spar with him, and all the other pupils at the dojo were certain that he would be a future star of judo. However, at around this time, Meguro grew weary of keeping up his façade, and serially murdered his fellow pupils and his father by judo-throwing them to death. Immediately after that, he was found by Hayami Katsumasa, who took him off the grid in exchange for taming him to be his pawn. As a result of Hayami's actions the case for Boy M, as the police called him, went cold.[2]

    Meguro was a master judoka who was strong enough to kill many people with a single throw.[2] Even as a child, his grip was strong enough to grip flesh like a gi.[4] He also had an extremely high level of endurance[4] and his speed was outstanding, especially in regards to his size, allowing him to move around with bestial likeness.[6] According to the clone Masaki, while Meguro was less skilled than to Arashiyama Jurota, Meguro was far more terrifying as an opponent.

    Masaki's most unique characteristic was his body's physiological response to pain. At first, it appeared that he had a high resistance to pain, as he was able to shrug off having his eye gouged by Muteba Gizenga and getting kicked hard in the face by Sawada Keizaburo.[6][7] However in truth, whenever Masaki felt pain, his brain responded by flooding his system with opiods (in particular the endorphins), causing the pain to be immediately followed by extreme pleasure.[8] Hayami Katsumasa stated he had also made some adjustments to Meguro's body to boost his ability but cost of his reason
