The eldest of [[Ryūken]]'s four adopted sons, '''Raoh''' (ラオウ) is actually the older brother of [[Toki]] and [[Sayaka]] and the younger brother of [[Kaiō]].  His name became synonymous with the star "Bōkyōsei" (Violent Evil Star).   

: Raoh was originally a native from the island of [[Shura no Kuni|Shura]]. After the death of his mother, Raoh was orphaned and sent to the mainland by [[Jukei]], along with his little brother Toki and the baby [[Kenshirō]] to train with Ryuken, the master of [[Hokuto Shin Ken]]. When they met Ryuken, he left Raoh and Toki at the bottom of a canyon and promised he would only adopt the one who made it to the top first. Raoh clawed himself to the summit but carried Toki with him and ordered Ryuken to adopt both of them. Ryuken was moved by this act and agreed, taking Raoh as his apprentice. Raoh trained hard under Ryuken, filled with the desire to become the strongest. He made a promise with Toki that, should he fall victim to his own ambition, his little brother would stop him at any cost.

: As Raoh developed a fierce and terrifying fighting style, Ryuken came to fear his power and greed, choosing Kenshirō as the successor of Hokuto Shin Ken. Subsequently, Raoh broke the 1800 year law of Hokuto by refusing to give up his power. Ryuken tried to stop him from misusing the Hokuto style, but Raoh killed him and left the temple to further his ambition. He assumed the title of Ken-Oh (拳王 '''Fist King''') and amassed an army to conquer the wasteland with terror. Among those to join under his banner were [[Jagi]], [[Amiba]], [[Yuda]] and [[Ryūga]].

: Raoh used the mighty stronghold of [[Cassandra]] as a prison for martial artists, whose secret scrolls he had stolen to perfect the ultimate fighting style. He also kept Toki imprisoned there to prevent him joining forces with Kenshirō. However, Cassandra was destroyed by Kenshirō and Toki was rescued. Raoh launched an invasion on [[Mamiya|Mamiya's]] village, where he fought with [[Rei]] of the [[Nanto Suichō Ken]] style and defeated him with a fatal blow. Kenshirō challenged Raoh for revenge and the two battled to a bloody standstill, after Toki intervened to stop them killing each other. Sometime later, Raoh finally fought with Toki to settle their childhood promise. Toki, weakened by disease, was defeated by Raoh but spared in a rare act of mercy.

: Raoh would later fight against the [[Nanto Gosha Sei]], guardians of the Last Nanto General. When Raoh discovered the General's real identity was [[Yuria]], the love of his life and Kenshirō's fiancée, he marched onwards to claim her for himself. However, he was met by Kenshirō, who had learned the ultimate Hokuto Shin Ken technique - ''[[Musō Tensei]]'' - which overwhelmed him with fear. Raoh managed to escape with Yuria in his clutches and decided that killing her would bring him the despair needed to learn the technique himself. However, at the last moment, he discovered Yuria was hiding a terminal illness, which moved Raoh to tears and stopped him from killing her. Instead, he placed her in a false coma, slowing the spread of disease. This alone was enough for Raoh to learn Musō Tensei and he faced Kenshirō at the [[Hokuto Renkitōza]] for their final duel. After an epic battle, Raoh realized his powers were too weak to defeat Kenshirō, whose soul was strengthened by the blood and tears of his great rivals. Conceding defeat to his younger brother, Raoh proclaimed to have no regrets and sent his life-force into the sky, restoring light to the world.

As a master of [[Hokuto Shinken]], Raoh boasts extraordinary fighting power. In order to punish the martial artists who defy him, he uses the [[Keiraku Hikō|hidden vital points]] to inflict a slow and agonizing death, as shown with [[Rei]]. Raoh also incorporated martial arts stolen from Cassandra into his fighting style and displayed techniques from both ''[[Nanto Sei Ken]]'' and ''[[Rakan Niō Ken]]''.

His ''[[Gō no Ken|Hard Fist]]'' fighting style overpowers his opponent with immense force and enhances his own strength the greater his opponent.
