{{nihongo|'''Shin'''|[[wikipedia:ja:シン (北斗の拳)|シン]]}} is the successor of {{nihongo|''[[Nanto Koshū Ken]]''|南斗孤鷲拳||"South Dipper Lone Eagle Fist"}}, one of the martial art styles within the [[Nanto Rokusei Ken]]. He bears the destiny of the {{nihongo|Star of Martyrdom|殉星|Junsei}}, who is destined to live and die for love.

==History==
Shin secretly desired [[Kenshiro]]'s fiancée, [[Yuria]], ever since they first met. After the nuclear war and the death of Master [[Ryuken]], Shin was goaded by [[Jagi]] into confronting Kenshiro and taking Yuria for himself. Shin attacked and paralyzed Kenshiro with ''[[Nanto Gokuto Ken]]'' before engraving seven scars in the shape of the Big Dipper on his chest as a reminder of his defeat, leaving him to die in the wasteland.

During the following year, Shin and his army conquered the former [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kant%C5%8D_region Kanto region]. He took the name of [[King (organization)|KING]] and built Yuria the city of [[Southern Cross]] to win her affection. However, his continued atrocities only drove her to commit suicide by leaping from the palace balcony. Yuria survived thanks to the intervention of the [[Nanto Goshasei]], who arrived at Southern Cross to save Yuria from [[Raoh|Raoh's]] imminent invasion. Shin entrusted Yuria to the Goshasei's custody and allowed his reputation to be tarnished by pretending he was her murderer.

It was after this that Kenshiro infiltrated Shin's headquarters and the two fought once again. Driven by Shin's words after their first battle, Kenshiro defeated him and struck his vital points in the shape of Shin's emblem - the 'Bloody Cross'. Maintaining that Yuria had died, Shin refused to perish by Ken's hand and took his own life by leaping from the palace balcony, as Yuria did before him. After the battle, Kenshiro buries his fallen rival out of respect for the love they shared for Yuria.

==TV series==
In the TV series, Shin's empire is notably larger compared to the manga. In addition to his four lieutenants ([[Heart]], [[Spade]], [[Diamond]], and [[Club]]), it also includes the [[Golan|God's Army]] organization, [[Jackal|Jackal's]] gang and a host of subordinate groups. After Kenshiro continued to defy his forces, Shin assembles his remaining troops and sends them on an all-out assault against Kenshiro as he approaches Southern Cross. After Kenshiro is presumed dead, [[Balcom]] seizes the opportunity to plot a mutiny against Shin, and although Shin defeats him, the city is destroyed in the chaos. With Shin vowing to build another Southern Cross, Yuria decides to commit suicide from the palace balcony and prevent the violence repeating itself.

==1986 movie==
: In the 1986 movie, Yuria mentions that Kenshiro and Shin grew up together and had a brotherly friendship. Shin's army is defeated by Raoh's troops who invade Southern Cross before Kenshiro's arrival - whilst Shin is defeated off-screen by Raoh himself. When Kenshiro finally arrives, Shin is already dying from his previous fight with Raoh, but in his final moments he reveals that Raoh has taken Yuria to [[Cassandra]].

==[[Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken: Kenshirō Den|Kenshirō Den]]==
: The 2008 movie ''[[Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken: Kenshirō Den|Kenshirō Den]]'' introduces Shin's Nanto Koshū Ken predecessor, [[Fugen]], as well as Shin's former training partner, [[Jugai]], who was said to be of equal ability.
