: 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'.

: ''~~'Kōryū''' studied~~ [[~~Hokuto Shin Ken]] with [[Ryūken~~]] his old rival, but yielded ~~the~~ succession ~~despite having the stronger style~~ to avoid ~~having~~ the tragic fate of ~~death shared by multiple Hokuto Shin Ken martial artists~~. He is also known as the "Hokuto Dragon." To prevent ~~any~~ knowledge ~~regarding his martial art~~ to ~~be passed on, Kōryū~~ led an ascetic life ~~in the mountains~~, ~~but was later sought~~ out and ~~killed by~~ [[~~Raoh~~]]. ~~He had~~ two sons ~~named~~ [[Zeus]] and [[Aus]] ~~who were spared by Raoh who told not~~ to ~~seek~~ the same ~~tragic path as Raoh and~~ [[Toki]].

: 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.
