{{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 as an aura whilst focusing it for attacks. It can be used to launch ki-based attacks that can be used to strike the '''[[Keiraku Hiko]]''' at long range, or, to defend the user from attack, in the form of an illusion of fists, 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]].
