: A master of ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]'' who once trained alongside [[Ryuken]], his old rival, but yielded succession to avoid the tragic ~~destiny~~ of [[Isshi Sōden]].

: A master of ''[[Hokuto Shinken]]'' who once trained alongside [[Ryuken]], his old rival, but yielded succession to avoid the tragic fate of [[Isshi Sōden]]. Koryu is also known as the 'Hokuto Tiger', while Ryuken was called the 'Hokuto Dragon'.

: To prevent passing down his knowledge, he retreated to the mountains and led an ascetic life. However, [[Raoh]] seeks him out as his comeback opponent after his first fight with [[Kenshiro]]. Koryu fights reluctantly and tries to seal Raoh's fearsome power with a suicide attack called the ''[[Shichisei Massatsu]]'' (Seven Star Obliteration). Raoh breaks Koryu's hands off with a single punch and pummels him to death.

: After the fight, Raoh meets Koryu's two sons, [[Zeus]] and [[Aus]], and spares their lives after they attempt to avenge their father. As a parting gift, he tells them to choose different paths or face the same fate, a foreshadowing to his impending battle with [[Toki]]. In the manga, [[Zengyo]] (Koryu's servant) brings news of his master's death to [[Kenshiro]] and Toki.
