    Zeed (ジード, Jīdo)
    The leader of the Zeed gang, with "Z-666" tattooed on his head. He is the first villain that Kenshiro faces in the series.

    Fighting Style[edit | edit source]

    Despite being Kenshiro's first opponent, Zeed is never seen fighting in the manga, though he is seen holding an axe at several points.
    Zeed attacks with his fists and tackles with his bare body in the PS1 game.
    In the Musou series, Zeed attacks with dual maces in a style based on raw power. He has the ability to jump high and pound the ground, rapidly bring down his maces to create small quake to knock opponents off their feet, as well as temporarily switch to a crossbow. Zeed is the first of several characters to use the dual mace moveset.

    Manga & TV Series[edit | edit source]

    Zeed and his gang are the first characters that appear in the manga and anime. After he and his men raid Lin's village, he holds Lin hostage, threatening to break her neck if his demands aren't met. He's confronted by Kenshiro, who dispatches him with the use of the Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken.
    In the 17th episode it is revealed that Zeed's gang was an ally of the King's Organization when Balcom is giving a recap of Kenshiro's encounters up to that point.

    1986 Movie[edit | edit source]

    Like the anime and Manga, Zeed (incorrectly called "Zenda" in the English dub), attacks Lin's village and takes her as a hostage. After Kenshiro destroys all his men, he was defeated in a exactly same way as in the manga and anime.

    Toki Gaiden[edit | edit source]

    In this spinoff manga, Zeed is persuaded to attack the Village of Miracles by the vengeful Amiba. Zeed and his gang of thugs launch a night-raid but they are thwarted by the combined efforts of Toki, Juza and the villagers. Toki spares Zeed's life but erases any memory of the village or his encounter with Amiba with the Hokuto Kyomu Shi Dan (北斗虚無指弾, Big Dipper Empty Finger Bullet) technique.

    Video Games[edit | edit source]

    Hokuto no Ken 3 has Zeed, in the vein of Spade, steal Misumi's seeds. Misumi sends Kenshiro to recover the seeds and Zeed is killed in a boss battle.
    Zeed appears in Hokuto no Ken Online. His girlfriend, Jera is also introduced.
    In the PS1 game, Zeed is the first boss. He invades Lin's village searching for Kenshiro to avenge the death of his men.
    Zeed appears as a boss character in Hokuto Muso. Zeed has been slightly redesigned, now having a blonde mohawk with a pony tail and Z-666 tattooed on his shoulders in addition to his forehead. In Legend mode, Zeed is a boss, while in the various dream mode Zeed can be an ally or enemy character.

    Notes[edit | edit source]

    • Zeed appears to lack statistics in the Hokuto no Ken: Kyūkyoku Kaisetsusho: Seikimatsu Haō Retsuden guide.
    • Zeed's "What?" (何?, Nani) reaction to Kenshiro's Hyakuretsu Ken has become an internet sensation since 2016.
    • In the anime, Zeed is the first character to utter the word, "Hidebu" (ひでぶっ), though in the manga, the word was first uttered and popularized by Mr. Heart.
    • Danmatsuma: "Hidebu!"(anime only)
