[edit] Story
Approximately 15 years old, he is a wandering thief and an orphan. For several years he resided in a small villiage, but when the water supply began run out he left so that the younger orphans could have what was left. While wandering he is captured and imprisoned by Rin's villiage, which is where he meets Kenshiro. Impressed by the strength of Kenshiro, he tags along with him, believing that this way he won't have any trouble finding food.
Rather cowardly, he plays only a minor part in the beginning of the series. Years later (what corresponds to the anime Hokuto no Ken 2), he is one of the leaders of a band of resistants (the Hokuto Army) fighting against the Gento Empire. He has become an expert in martial arts and also has fallen in love with Rin, whom he protects without hesitation.
Much later, he will try to sacrifice himself for Kenshiro, but Kenshiro will save him.
