: A self-proclaimed genius, Amiba trained in [[Nanto Suichō Ken]] under [[Rofū]], but having failed to become successor he turned his attention to [[Hokuto Shin Ken]]. When [[Toki]] refused to share his knowledge with Amiba, he began experimenting by himself and almost killed an elderly man with his efforts. For this blunder he was scolded by Toki and subsequently swore revenge on both Toki and the Village of Miracles.
: The self-proclaimed genius, Amiba was orginally a practitioner of [[Nanto Sei Ken]], but believing he could master any martial art in record time he turned his attention to [[Hokuto Shin Ken]]. He travelled to the [[Village of Miracles]] in order to prove his worth, but when experimenting by himself he almost killed an elderly man with his efforts. For this blunder, he was publicly rebuked by [[Toki]], leaving the humiliated Amiba swearing revenge on both Toki and the Village of Miracles.
:Amiba later teamed up with [[Jagi]], who helped make Amiba resemble Toki and even scarred his back with a club to recreate Toki's scar. Amiba then learned enough [[Hokuto Shin Ken]] techniques from Jagi to successfully impersonate Toki. With the real Toki imprisoned in Cassandra, Amiba tarnished his image and tortured both civilians and martial artists with his experiments.
 
:He performed sadistic "new pressure point tests" on living humans and reported his findings to [[Raoh]]. He also claimed that he could learn any martial art under short periods. He develops a style imitating Hokuto Shinken, which he names {{nihongo|''[[Hokuda Shin Ken]]''|北蛇鍼拳||"Needle Fist of the North Snake"}} in ''Ten no Haō''. Kenshiro finally used ''Zankai Sekihoken'', causing Amiba to involuntarily walk over the edge of a high-rise building.
: 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 pressure point tests", and reported these findings to Raoh. When Amiba was finally exposed as a fraud, [[Kenshirō]] used ''Zankai Sekihoken'', causing Amiba to involuntarily walk over the edge of a high-rise building.
 
==Gaiden material==
: In the manga spin-off [[Rei Gaiden]], it was revealed that Amiba studied [[Nanto Suichō Ken]] under the master [[Rofu]], but ultimately lost the race for successor to [[Rei]].
 
:[[Shirogane no Seija: Toki Gaiden| Toki Gaiden]] covers Amiba's first visit to the ''Village of Miracles'' where he seeks out Toki to improve his already limited knowledge of acupressure. When Toki refuses to teach him and reprimands his conduct, Amiba plots against the village with the [[Zeed| Zeed gang]]. He also conspires with [[Jagi]], who helps him impersonate Toki by teaching him [[Hokuto Shin Ken]] and scarring his back with a club.
 
:In the [[Ten no Haoh]] manga, Amiba introduces his Hokuto Shin Ken imitation style by the name {{nihongo|''[[Hokuda Shin Ken]]''|北蛇鍼拳||"Needle Fist of the North Snake"}}.
