Ryu

Ryu (リュウ, Ryū) is the orphaned son of Raoh. He was raised by Hakuri and his wife after Raoh's death. At a young age, he already shows his wit and bravery and possesses his father's eyes. When the Hakuris are killed by Kōketsu's men, Kenshiro becomes his personal mentor in order to help him avenge his adoptive parents. After Kōketsu is defeated, he accompanies Kenshiro to the kingdoms of Sava and Blanca, helping Ken in his many ordeals. Having witnessed the sorrows of the likes of Asam and Baran, Kenshiro leaves Ryu under the care of Balga, promising to meet him again when the time comes to decide the next Hokuto Shin Ken successor.
