-: 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 minions - granting them inhuman 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.
+: Amiba was originally a student of ''Nanto Seiken'', but later 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 minions - granting them inhuman speed and strength - and perform basic Hokuto techniques with enough precision to fool Kenshiro into thinking he was actually Toki. However, Amiba's abilities pale in comparison to a true master of ''Hokuto Shinken'', which he discovered quite painfully when Kenshiro got over his regret and dedicated himself to stopping "Toki" from hurting the innocent.
+: During his studies, Amiba discovered several new vital points, including one that can paralyze a person and others that drastically increase the subject's muscle mass - however, the latter backfired and caused his hands to explode. It is unclear if this was due to Amiba's incomplete understanding of the points, or simply an error he made due to his increasing anger and desperation to defeat Kenshiro.

 *Amiba's design was modelled after actor [[w:c:highlander:Christopher Lambert|Christopher Lambert]].
 *Amiba's human experimentation resembles that of [[wikipedia:Shirō Ishii|Dr. Shirō Ishii]] and his [[wikipedia:Unit 731|Unit 731]]. He and his men referring to people as ''deku'' (木人形 ''wooden doll'') is similar to Ishii's ''maruta'' (丸太 ''logs'').
+*In the original manga, Amiba is able to fool Kenshiro with his "Toki" disguise despite having dark hair (by this point, the real Toki's hair had turned white from radiation sickness). The 1984 anime fixes this by giving Amiba white hair in his "Toki" appearance, while also revealing him to have had blonde hair prior to his "makeover".
