: The self-proclaimed genius, Amiba was originally a practitioner of ''[[Nanto Seiken]]'', but believing he could master any martial art in record time, he turned his sights on ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]''. He travelled to the [[Village of Miracles]] in order to prove his worth and when experimenting by himself he almost killed an elderly man with his efforts. [[Toki]] intervened to save the man, slapping Amiba aside, and afterwards he advised him not to practice a martial art he has yet to master. Amiba was left humiliated by the incident and swore revenge on Toki.

: When Toki was imprisoned in [[Cassandra]] by [[Raoh]], Amiba took the opportunity to exact his revenge by impersonating Toki and destroying his reputation. He rearranged his appearance to model Toki, right down to the scar on his back, and tortured martial artists and villagers with cruel "new vital point tests", and reported these findings to Raoh. When Amiba was exposed as a fraud by [[Rei]] (who trained with him during his Nanto Seiken days), [[Kenshiro]] defeated him with ''[[Zankai Sekiho Ken]]'', causing Amiba to involuntarily walk to his death from the top of his palace.

==Fighting style==
: Amiba was originally a student of Nanto Seiken but due to his capricious nature he dropped the style in order to become a master of Hokuto Shinken. As a result of his gruesome vital point research, he was able to enhance the abilities of his own minions - granting them immense speed and strength. During his fight with Kenshiro he revealed the ultimate secret of his ''Amiba-style Hokuto Shinken'', striking his own vital points to drastically increase his muscle mass - which backfired and caused his hands to explode.

: In the manga spin-off ''[[Rei Gaiden]]'', it was revealed that Amiba studied ''[[Nanto Suichō Ken]]'' under the previous master, [[Rofu]]. During a flashback to their training years, Amiba conspires with [[Yuda |Yuda]] in a plot to assassinate Rei and become successor of the style.

: ''[[Toki Gaiden]]'' covers Amiba's original visit to the Village of Miracles, where he seeks out Toki to improve his limited knowledge of pressure points. When Toki refuses to teach him and reprimands his later conduct, Amiba plots against the village with the [[Zeed| Zeed gang]], whose attack is thwarted by the combined efforts of Toki, [[Juza]], and the villagers. He then joins forces with [[Jagi]], who helps him impersonate Toki by teaching him Hokuto Shinken and scarring his back with a club. After Toki is detained by Ken-Oh and his forces, Amiba infiltrates the village posing as him and begins his reign of terror, until he is ultimately killed by Kenshiro.

: In the ''[[Ten no Haoh]]'' manga, Amiba returns to the Village of Miracles after his original clash with Toki and attacks him with his ''Hokuto Shin Ken'' imitation style, {{nihongo|''[[Hokuda Shin Ken]]''|北蛇鍼拳||"Needle Fist of the North Snake"}}. Toki easily defeats him with ''Hokuto Ujō Ken'' but spares his life to prevent more bloodshed. Amiba does not appear in the animated adaptation.
