Han fights with hurricane-like ''[[Hokuto Ryū Ken]]'' techniques, which are so fast that they cannot be followed by the human eye and cast no shadow. With his life in constant danger of assassination, he claims to have lost count after killing the 100th assassin. Han frequently laments the boredom of his daily life, and would spend his time playing chess against himself. He ends up fighting [[Kenshiro]] after the latter arrives at his castle to rescue [[Lin]], who was brought there earlier by [[Shachi]] as part of his plan to have Han fight Kenshiro. Han is the one who reveals Kenshiro's origin to him during their fight. Following an intense battle, Kenshiro manages to damage his vision and then finishes him with the ''[[Hyakuretsu Ken]]''. | ||

Like his fellow generals, Han was a master of the ''[[Hokuto Ryū Ken]], ''a sister fighting style to Kenshiro's [http://hokuto.wikia.com/wiki/Hokuto_Shinken Hokuto Shinken]. His prowess allowed him to ascend to the esteemed position of Third General of Asura, trumped in power only by Hyo and Kaioh. Han's particular skill lay in his exceptional speed, which was untraceable by human eyes save for exceptionally strong fighters like Kenshiro. Even Shachi, one of the strongest fighters in the Land of Asura and fellow user of Hokuto Ryu Ken, was unable to follow Han's movements during their first encounter. | |||
Han was also shown to be highly resistant to poison, as he drank an entire goblet of poisoned wine without any ill side effects. | |||
