{{Audio|Koshuken.ogg|'''Nanto Koshū Ken'''}} (南斗孤鷲拳, ''South Dipper Lone Eagle Fist''): an orthodox style of [[Nanto Sei Ken]]. It focuses on stabbing and thrusting attacks, seemingly being most useful through direct contact. The style also seems to use flying kicks, as seen during a flashback in both the manga and anime, and as the Nanto Gokuto Ken/Nanto Gokusatsu Ken Ougi (special technique) which uses an air pressure wave/ki to cut and disable the opponent. | {{Audio|Koshuken.ogg|'''Nanto Koshū Ken'''}} (南斗孤鷲拳, ''South Dipper Lone Eagle Fist''): an orthodox style of [[Nanto Sei Ken]].
