: Appearing in the spinoff manga, ''[[Rei Gaiden]]'', Rofu was the previous ''[[Nanto Suichō Ken]]'' successor and [[Rei|Rei's]] master. Rofu trained in the art alongside his future wife, [[Linley]]. He perfected a "hard" style, while she mastered a "soft" style. Rei believed Rofu had died during the [[nuclear war of 199X|nuclear war]], but he survived and killed [[Eva]] to become the king of [[Asgarðr]].

 

 

Rofu shares many similarities with [[Raoh]]: like him, he makes use of a fighting style based mainly on brute strength, the violence of the blows and the lack of elegance (in contrast to the elegant one of his wife, a difference that seems to recall that between the fighting style of Raoh and [[Toki]]), as well as some techniques based on Ki that are very reminiscent of those of Hokuto Ryuken, has ambitions to conquer the whole world (in fact, like Raoh, he calls himself "The conqueror of the sky", and uses a recurring phrase, that is "I will hold the sky in my fist"), he gave up love for his desires to conquer but unconsciously he never abandoned him, and also his clash with Linrei in which he attacks her and is wounded before killing her recalls the clash between Raoh and [[Ryuken]]). Like Raoh, he is also seen riding a huge horse, which in his case has white fur. He also has similarities to [[Souther]] and [[Kaioh]] (due to the death of a loved one - killed by him, as in Souther's case - he renounced love) and his deathbed redemption is reminiscent of Kaioh's, which includes his mistakes after being defeated by Kenshiro.
