Name: Shin Description: Master of the unarmed "Nanto Koshu Ken" style, where rapid attacks are used to slash the opponent's joints, leaving them defenseless. "Nanto Koshu Ken" is a form of Nanto Seikan, which allows the user to cut and rend flesh with sweeps of the palms and fingers. Once Kenshiro's friend, he grew jealous of him because of Yuria's love towards him. After the apocalypse happened, Shin defeated Kenshiro and kidnapped Yuria, bringing her back to his city, Southern Cross. While he's egotistical and ruthless on the outside, he only wants Yuria to love him back. After her suicide, Shin now searches for a new flame. History: Shin secretly desired Kenshiro's fiancée, Yuria, ever since they first met. After the nuclear war and the death of Master Ryuken, Shin was goaded by Jagi into confronting Kenshiro and taking Yuria for himself. Shin challenged Kenshiro and paralyzed him with the Nanto Gokuto Ken technique before engraving seven scars in the shape of the Big Dipper on his chest to coerce Yuria into swearing her love for him.

During the following year, Shin and his army conquered the former Kantō region. He assumed the title of KING and built Yuria the city of Southern Cross to win her affection. However, his continued atrocities only drove her to commit suicide by leaping from the palace balcony. Yuria survived due to the intervention of the Nanto Goshasei, who arrived at Southern Cross to save Yuria from Raoh's imminent invasion. Shin entrusted Yuria to the Goshasei's custody and allowed his reputation to be tarnished by pretending he was her murderer (since he is responsible for her near death).

It was after this that Kenshiro infiltrated Shin's headquarters and the two fought once more. Driven by Shin's words after their first battle, Kenshiro defeated him. Fighting style: Shin is a master of Nanto Koshū Ken (unnamed in both the manga and anime), which focuses on the use of hand thrusts to stab his enemies. His stabbing power is such is that he could penetrate through Heart's body, infamous for its ability to absorb fists and render them useless. Shin can also employ kicks in his style which allow him to slice tendons. The 1980s anime extended the style with knife hand slices, and rapid punch techniques, the latter of which could counter muscle hardening techniques, by causing cracks. His thrusts could also activate pressure points causing enemies to explode. Shin is a very powerful fighter, causing Kenshiro's first known defeat, while sustaining little to no injuries. According to Shin himself, his own desire for Yuria empowered him by giving him the drive needed to overcome Kenshiro while the latter lacked any of it and was arguably hesitant to fight against his friend. After Kenshiro developed an ambition of his own to fuel his power to save Yuria, Shin found himself on the receiving end of Kenshiro's attacks for most of the fight. When he pretended to kill Yuria to deprive Kenshiro of his motivation, Kenshiro's anger empowered him further, at which point Shin was no match for the Hokuto Shin Ken successor. Techniques: Nanto Gokuto Ken (South Dipper/Nanto Hell Slaughter Fist) - A leaping attack that cuts through his opponent's tendons. In the series, Shin uses a tamer version of the move to weaken Kenshiro and create the seven starred scar on Kenshiro's chest. Nanto Senshi Kanshu (South Dipper Thousand Torn Piercing Fist) - an original move created for the game. Shin pierces his opponents so quick that the eye cannot catch his movements. Nanto Renki Tsuha (South Dipper/Nanto Vibrant Wave) - a game original. Shin stands upright and waves one of his hands to his front. His hand traces a beam of energy across the ground, which erupts into an explosion moments later. Enemies hit by the attack will additionally be entrapped in a yellow aura for Shin to explode on whim. Dokuja Senketsu (Venomous Snake Drilling Hole) - a game original. Ducking low for a moment, Shin spins himself upright to pierce his hand into his enemy's torso. He seems to pump a golden aura into them and they break apart seconds later. Cannot be blocked. Mumyou Fusatsu Jin (Avidya Measured Killing Column) - a game original. Shin powers up before he smashes the ground with his fist. At first, it seems like nothing happens. Five seconds later, a large cross shaped aura grows from the impact of his fist and emits a geyser of energy. Those within the cross's glow are damaged. Cannot be blocked. Nanto Sei Zan Sou (South Dipper/Nanto Misery Edge Claw) - a game original. Performs a mighty swipe of his fingers in front of him, cutting apart those within his range. Nanto Moushuu Shee (South Dipper/Nanto Brutal Vulture Dive) - a game original. Launching his foes into the air with a dynamic flip kick, Shin stays aerial and rapidly stabs several foes below him with hands. He ends the chain by twirling in the air, slicing foes within the range of his fingertips. Nanto Shuyaku Soushu (South Dipper/Nanto Cruel Vulture Twin Hand) - a game original. Hopping into the air, Shin mimics the posture of a diving bird. He lands while hunched low, rising his hands in a joined position to fire a straight beam of energy forward. Hakushu Koushi (White Condor Crimson Lips) - a game original and one of his legendary moves. Shin surrounds one of his hands in a golden aura. It straightens as though it were a blade and Shin uses the same enhanced hand for a forward thrust. Shin Youshou Ha (Divine Eagle Floating Destruction) - One of Shin's Legendary Techniques and a game original technique. Spreading his arms apart and forming his body in the shape of a cross, Shin becomes aerial as he radiates a golden aura. Nearby enemies are slaughtered by the rays. Nanto Kaketshu Juji Sou (South Dipper/Nanto Bloody Cross Burial) - a game original and one of Shin's Legendary Techniques. Shin hovers high into the air. He slices the ground below him twice, forming a destructive cross shaped aura beneath him.
