'''Gee''' (ジイ, ''Jii''), '''Eye''' (アイ, ''Ai''), and '''Joe''' (ジョウ, ''Jō'') were three men from the West Central Area that went out to investigate rumors of [[Kenshiro]]'s grave. Gee was killed by [[Zorba]] and Eye was killed by [[Zaruji]]. Joe falls off a cliff, but survives to tell of the grave he discovered, however he was killed by the Imperial Executioner.
{{nihongo|'''Jii'''|ジイ}}and {{nihongo|'''Ai'''|アイ}} were two men who accompanied [[Joe]] while he was investigating rumors of [[Kenshiro]]'s death. After finding a gravestone engraved with the symbol of the [[Hokuto Shichi Sei]], the three men were ambushed by [[Zorba]] and [[Zaruji]], who were spreading rumors of Kenshiro's death to lure rebels into the gravestone and kill them. Jii was killed by [[Zorba]] and Ai was killed by [[Zaruji]]. Joe survives after falling off a cliff, but he was later killed by the [[Imperial Executioner]].
The names of the three men referenced Hasbro's popular '''G.I. Joe''' toyline. Gee and Eye appeared exclusively in the anime series and only Joe appeared in the manga, although he was originally nameless. [[wikipedia:Toei Animation|Toei Animation]], the studio that produced the ''Hokuto no Ken'' anime series, were also the studio that animated the ''G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero'' animated series.  
 
While Joe appeared in the manga as an unnamed character, Jii and Ai were created for the anime. The names of the three men are a phonetic reference to [[wikipedia:Hasbro|Hasbro]]'s popular ''[[wikipedia:G.I. Joe|G.I. Joe]]'' toyline. [[wikipedia:Toei Animation|Toei Animation]], the company responsible for the ''Hokuto no Ken'' anime, also animated the ''[[wikipedia:G.I._Joe:_A_Real_American_Hero_(1985_TV_series)|G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero]]'' animated series for Sunbow. Jii was voiced by [[Michitaka Kobayashi]] and Ai was voiced by [[Kōzō Shioya]].
