- Club (クラブ Kurabu)
- A minion of Shin who fought using long steel claws.
Appearance
He is a lean, muscular man who has long limbs, no eyebrows, a tattoo of the letter K, representing KING (changed to J, for Jack, in the anime) above his namesake suit on the upper-right part of his face, and a Blond (red in the anime) Mohawk.
He wears very little clothing (although he is depicted as wearing a pair of pants in the anime) besides a harness that has spikes on the upmost straps, armored gloves with built-in claws, a pair of trunks that have studs on the front underneath a belt with two tassets attached to it, and an armored pair of boots.
Personality
Club is best described as an ultra-sadistic maniac who not only disregards the value human life, but holds no respect for it as a whole, his disrespect being so great that he will even speak ill of the dead, as he called Spade and Diamond idiots for apparently neglecting their training.
He possesses a notable tic of licking the blades of his claws.
He is also an incredibly prideful person, as he refers to his foes as insects and worms, although his pride is not big enough for him to resort to begging and even betraying his own allies when in the face of death, as Kenshiro was able to successfully interrogate him for the location of Shin.
Recollection of Heavy Metal
- Club and Diamond starred in the short story Recollection of Heavy Metal. It is revealed that the two were members of a heavy metal band and that Club's real name is Kōhei Shimatani (島谷こうへい).
Ten no Haoh
- Club makes a brief appearance in Ten no Haoh when Reina and Ryuga go to Southern Cross to kill KING. Club attacks Ryuga with his claws, but Ryuga easily defeats him. However, as Ryuga is about to kill Club, Juza intervenes and Club realizing he is outmatched, takes this opportunity to retreat.
Rei Gaiden
Alongside the other lieutenants of KING, he was present when Shin announced that Lady Eva was dead. Later, he accompanied his lord to observe the fight between Rei and Rofu.
Manga & TV Series
Determined to get revenge for Diamond's death to Kenshiro, Club practiced his brutal Tōrō Ken fighting style on captured peasant men after challenging them to one-sided death-matches in his arena in Southern Cross.
In the anime, he fights caged matches against anyone who tries to escape Dorado City. Kenshiro kills him by striking the vital point Meimon (Gate of Life), which snaps his spine in half.
Character Rating
From Hokuto no Ken: Kyūkyoku Kaisetsusho: Seikimatsu Haō Retsuden.
- Level: E
- Power: 1
- Speed: 2
- Skills: 2
- Looks: 1
- Charisma: 1
Notes
- Jack of World Heroes closely resembles Club. Similar to Club, Jack has the habit of licking the blades of his claws.
- He seems to be the inspiration for a common enemy named "Nail Mohawk" from the PS2 game, God Hand, given that these enemies bear an all around similar appearance to him, wield claws, and also have a taunt where they lick their claws.
