    Luó Hŭchéng (traditional Chinese: 羅虎城; Wade-Giles: Lo Hu-Ch'eng; Japanese: Ra Kojō) Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: convert: command not found Error creating thumbnail: /bin/bash: line 1: convert: command not found

    A diminutive National Revolutionary Army general and ally of Zhang Lieshan.

    Appearance[edit | edit source]

    He is a very small dark-haired man with a gaunt, mousy face, a prominent nose, large pointed ears, and beady eyes. He has a very strangle hairstyle that's almost completely smooth, with a spike on the top and also having sideburns and a friendly mutton chops beard.

    Personality[edit | edit source]

    He is a very prideful man who is very sensitive over his short stature, as pointing it out will infuriate him to the point where he will attack the offending party without hesitation. He is also good at faking emotions, as he did an incredibly convincing performance where he pretended to respect a soldier with a scar on his face, complimenting it by telling him that it's greater than any medal that could be awarded while in actuality he didn't care at all.
    In spite of being a member of the National Revolutionary Army, he doesn't actually care about it's ideals or beliefs in spite of being a source of hope for it's members and sympathizers, as he is an incredibly greedy little man, and would gladly join up with the Communist Party if it meant he could profit off of it.

    Abilities[edit | edit source]

    He can raise his voice to incredible volumes to the point where he can shatter glass, which he uses primarily to give himself an incredible presence that creates the illusion that he's bigger than he actually is, which, combined with his acting skills, gives him an incredible amount of charisma. Aside from that, he can move with extreme speed to the point where he disappears, and even Ken had trouble with how fast he was moving and had to rely on his sense of smell and reflexes instead.
    As a general of the National Revolutionary Army, he has authority over all lower ranking members by default.

    History[edit | edit source]

    He is brought with the promise of control over Shanghai's underworld to kill Pan Guanglin and later confronted by Kenshiro Kasumi, who struck a pressure point on him that if someone (or even himself) would say his name he would die. The first time he purposely mispronounced his own name but later at the fight between Kenshiro and Lièshān he said it correctly, dying.
    His death led to Kuomintang, China's ruling political party of which the NRA is the military arm of, hiring Biāo Báifèng to challenge Kenshiro in a duel; while the top-echelon KMT officials do not think much of Luó, either, and consider the circumstance behind Kenshiro's actions to be sufficiently-honorable, they also unanimously agree that the assassination of a NRA general cannot go unpunished.
    Chiang Kai-Shek, the supreme commander of the NRA and having overruled an earlier proposal of deploying Juntong assassins against Kenshiro, thus declares to his officers that China must "answer martial arts with martial arts", which the rest of KMT leadership concurs.
