|family= [[Lui]] (twin sister)
{{translation|'''Lin'''|リン|Rin}}: Lin was a young orphan who lost the ability to speak after witnessing her entire family being murdered by bandits during the aftermath of the [[nuclear war of 199X]].
: In the beginning of the series, she inhabits a small village where she serves prisoners, which is how she meets [[Kenshiro]]. He restores her voice using ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]'' and saves her from [[Zeed|Zeed's]] assault. Lin was never able to forget this act of kindness and followed Kenshiro after he left the village. She falls into the hands of the [[Golan]], who capture young girls to groom for their master race, until Kenshiro saves her once more. Although she is a small girl, Lin displays outstanding compassion and bravery throughout the series, with an unwavering faith in Kenshiro and his ability to save mankind from the horrors of the wasteland.
: After the time-skip following [[Raoh|Raoh's]] death, Lin and [[Bat]] form the [[Hokuto Army]] during Kenshiro's absence, and fight against the oppressive Imperial Army. Lin is revealed to be an adopted child and the twin sister of [[Lui]], the Celestial Empress. Per the precepts of succession, Lin was ordered to be executed by the evil [[Jako|Viceroy]], but [[Falco]] could not go through with it and her to his remaining family. After Jako and his corrupt regime are destroyed by Kenshiro and Falco, Lin is kidnapped by Jako's son, [[Jask]] ([[Tiger]] in the anime) and taken to the [[Shura no Kuni|Land of Shura]]. Kenshiro rescues her from the demons that await him and tells her to return home to her loved ones. However, Lin's feelings for Kenshiro force her to follow him deeper into the island. Lin is captured by [[Kaioh]], who wishes her to carry his child in order to cleanse the tainted legacy of [[Hokuto Ryu Ken|''Hokuto Ryuken'']]. However, failing that, as an act of spite he uses the {{nihongo|''Shikanhaku''|死環白}} vital point, which causes the victim to fall in love with the first person they awaken to. As a result, she falls in love with Bat.: In the final volume of the manga, Bat refuses to live a lie and erases Lin's memory with his limited ''Hokuto Shinken''. Kenshiro also loses his memory during a fateful thunderstorm, and Bat arranges for the two to be reunited while he stakes his own life against [[Bolge]], an enemy from Kenshiro's past. Lin and Kenshiro recover their memories, only to find Bat has been mortally wounded in the fight. As a dying wish, Bat tells Lin to spend her life with Kenshiro, the man she loves. Lin respects his wish, only to have a change of heart and return to Bat's side. To her wonder, she finds Bat has survived, thanks to Kenshiro's powers.
: Lin's introduction remains relatively faithful to the original manga/television series. After she is saved from Zeed by Kenshiro, Lin and Bat follow him on his journey to find [[Yuria]], until Kenshiro leaves them with [[Rei]]. The three of them travel to [[Cassandra]], where they discover Yuria is now in the hands of [[Raoh|Ken-Oh]]. After Rei dies protecting Yuria, Kenshiro arrives and fights Raoh in a violent battle. Lin intervenes at the last second to save Kenshirō's life. Raoh accepts her plea, believing Lin holds a key to the future.
*Lin resembles Reika Shirono from [[Tetsuo Hara]]'s previous work, ''The Iron Don Quixote''.
