Toki: Difference between revisions

Toki, along with Raoh and Kenshiro, is from the Land of Asura, where he has two additional blood siblings named Kaioh and Sayaka. Toki and Raoh are actual blood brothers; Raoh and Toki were orphaned when they were children and adopted by Ryuken, who was seeking a student to train. Originally, Ryuken only trained Raoh, while Toki watched on. When a hunter killed Toki's pet dog [[Koko]], Toki demonstrates his fighting ability by pummeling the hunter relentlessly. Realizing that Toki has learned to fight by merely watching his brother, Ryuken began training Toki as well. At that point, Raoh made Toki promise that if he ever followed the wrong path, Toki will try to stop him.

But during the war, Toki was exposed to the nuclear fallout while forced-shutting the jammed doors of the bomb shelter that Ken and Yuria were in. Toki survived for two weeks without food and water, but the nuclear exposure turned his hair white and left him terminally ill. Thus, Toki renounces the succession to the Hokuto Shinken style and becomes a wandering doctor, easing the people's ills.  

Toki wanders into a village full of sick people and heals everyone there. The village became known as the "Village of Miracles" and Toki becomes heralded as a miracle maker. However, Toki is taken captive by Raoh's army and imprisoned at Cassandra, while Amiba impersonates him in an attempt to tarnish Toki's reputation.

Kenshiro rescues him from Cassandra and Toki joins him in his battle against Raoh. Toki attempts to fulfill his promise as an adult, seeking to stop Raoh from using Hokuto Shinken for his own gain. He would have defeated Raoh had it not been for the illness that had debilitated his strength, but as such he was defeated yet spared by his older brother. He would spend his few remaining days healing the sick, until a confrontation with [[Ryūga]] led to his death. As he embraced his death, he told Kenshiro to "turn sorrow into anger."

==Fighting Style==

Toki is a devoted master of [[Hokuto Shinken]] and possesses an intimate knowledge of the [[Keiraku_Hikō| keiraku hikō]]. Despite his pacifism and dedication to medical study, Toki can still use Hokuto Shinken with deadly purpose. His ''Hokuto Ujō Danjin Ken'' attack inflicts a violent death, albeit with a euphoric side effect in the process.

While his brother [[Raoh| Raoh's]] "hard style" meets force with greater force, Toki's {{nihongo|Gentle Fist|柔の拳|Jū no Ken}} uses the opponent's force against them with grace and dexterity. It's because of this natural ability that Toki was originally a frontrunner to become successor.

 

During his showdown with Raoh, it was revealed that Toki also possessed the {{nihongo|Hard Fist|剛の拳|Gō no Ken}} style, which he had sealed away until the final battle. It is revealed though that this style was augmented by pressing a [[Keiraku_Hikō| keiraku hikō]] that granted temporary boost in strength at cost of lifespan, which Raoh did notice.

* Toki's appearance and personality is most likely based on [[wikipedia:Jesus|Jesus Christ]].

* Toki is miraculously alive in the [[[[Hokuto no Ken (Banpresto)]] game, under the identity of The Masked General. This game is not canon and takes creative license with many aspects of the series.
