Ryuo

Ryūō is one of two overarching antagonists in the Fist Of The North Star franchise. He is a son of the Hokuto Sōke clan who lived in the Land of Asura sometime around the 2nd or 3rd century.

Biography[]

Born to a woman named Ōka on the same day as Shuken (the son of Shume, Oka's sister), high priests forbade the existence of two male heirs to the clan, so they left Ryuo and Shuken exposed to a pack of starving wolves so that the surviving child.

He would be handed the task of developing the clan's ultimate martial art. Due to Shume's, interference in the ritual, Ryuo was the original chosen successor, but lost the title after Oka offered herself as a sacrifice so that Shuken would grow up to be the successor (with Ryuo in a subordinate role). Growing up as a lost man due to the lack of motherly love, Ryuo and all of his descendants di lui (Kaioh, Raoh, Toki and Saiyaka) were fated to seek that lost love in their lives.

In the anime, it is explained that he left the clan to found the Hokuto Ryuken. In the manga this is never said, also because the prequel Fist Of The Blue Sky retcons the story explaining (and contradicting the anime) that the Ryuken was the original Hokuto, and that the Shinken is an evolution of it.
