Rihaku of the Ocean (海のリハク, Umi no Rihaku): The military leader of the Goshasei, charged with protecting the Last Nanto General. Rihaku engineers a series of booby traps to protect Yuria when Raoh advances on the Nanto Capital. These traps prove to be little threat to Raoh, but Rihaku is saved from certain death by Kenshiro's arrival, where he witnesses Kenshiro's awakening of Musō Tensei, the ultimate technique of Hokuto Shinken. Rikahu later becomes the elder statesman of Lin and Bat's "Hokuto Army".

TV series

In the original TV series, he is shown to be Yuria's caretaker since childhood instead of the unnamed character in the manga (who would later become Dharma in the 2007 Legend of Yuria OVA).

Rihaku is also given his own martial art, Gosha Hasui Ken, in the TV series, which he uses in vain against Raoh after the failure of his death-traps.

Legend of Yuria

In the OVA continuity, Yuria does not meet Rihaku until after she is rescued by the Goshasei from Southern Cross.
