{{Translation|'''Tōki'''|闘気|Fighting Spirit}} is a special type of [[wikipedia:Qi|ki]] energy used in several martial arts, including [[Hokuto Shin Ken]], [[Hokuto Sanka Ken]], [[Nanto Sei Ken]] and [[Gento Kō Ken]]. It can be used to launch ki-based attacks that strike targets (even precise ones, like the [[Keiraku Hiko]]) at long range, or to defend the user from attack.


It usually irradiates from the users' body whilst focusing it for attacks. It can be used to lauch long-range ki-based attacks, or to defend the user from attack, as demonstrated by Raoh.
An expert user can often radiate tōki from his own body as a Fighting Spirit Aura ([[Tōki no Aura]]) whilst focusing it for attacks. Tōki also manifests in the form of mirages, such as a barrage of fists, as demonstrated by [[Raoh]], or a hail of swords, as demonstrated by [[Rofu]].
 
[[Hokuto Ryū Ken|Hokuto Ryū Ken's]] counterpart called [[Matōki no Aura]] (魔闘気のオーラ, Demonic Fighting Spirit Aura) can drive the practitioner insane with evil, turning them into a Majin (魔神, God of Black Magic).
