: Heart is one of the Four Chief Vassals of the [[King (organization)|King Organization]] led by [[Shin]], along with [[Spade]], [[Diamond]], and [[Club]].

It was said that only ''[[Nanto Seiken]]'' was capable of defeating him through brute force.

: While normally calm and more merciful than his fellow Kingsmen, his personality changes to that of a homicidal maniac at the sight of his own blood, such as when he murdered several of his own men and a bartender after pricking his hand on a shard of broken glass.

He is normally a well-mannered, civil, and calm individual who speaks in a soft tone of voice in contrast to a great majority of the members of KING. He is kind enough to scold his own men for attacking a bartender, and politely let him continue his own work. However, his civil nature will change completely if he sees his own blood, which causes him to uncontrollably enter a state of violent panic & anxiety that causes him to attack the closest person next to him, even if he was acting in a friendly manner before his panic.

==Manga & TV series==
: Heart fought [[Kenshiro]] within Shin's palace at [[Southern Cross]] as the last of the Four Lieutenants. Heart would normally be immune to the effects of ''[[Hokuto Shin Ken]]'', but using the ''[[Hokuto Jūha Zan]]'' technique, Kenshiro was able to penetrate Heart's flesh and cause his body to explode. His iconic [[Danmatsuma|death cry]] was "HIDEBU", a corruption of ''Iteyo'' ("It hurts").
: In the television series, Heart along with the other three lieutenants are addressed as the "Four Jacks", with Heart being addressed as "Heart J". Thus, the "K<span style="color:red;">♥</span>" tattoo on his forehead is replaced by a "J<span style="color:red;">♥</span>" tattoo. He speaks in an effeminate manner when in "calm" mode, but masculine when in "crazed" mode. The battle between him and Kenshiro is set near a valley, in which Heart orders his troops to slaughter a group of escapees from a nearby prison leaving them gravely wounded shortly before fighting Ken. Instead of Shin, it is [[Joker]] who watches the fight and [[Nanto Shōten Ken|throws a playing card]] which cuts Heart's face, sending him into a momentary frenzy before Kenshiro kills him.
==1986 movie==
: In the 1986 movie, Heart's role is changed to being a henchman of [[Jagi]], along with [[Fox]] and [[Jackal]]. In an early movie trailer, his name appears listed as {{nihongo|'''Elephant'''|エレファント|Erefanto}} to go with the naming theme of the Warriors gang. Confronting Kenshiro already in his berserk state, this time at Jagi's hideout, Heart is once again killed by Kenshirō.

: Heart was once a sickly young teenager of 14 called Alfred who ate very little and spent all his time indoors with his pet birds. Alfred was taken care of by his big sister, Sarah, who often encouraged Alfred to eat and work out more. However one day, Alfred's house was broken into by two criminals and Alfred was kidnapped with the intent of being held for ransom.
: Sarah manages to follow the escaping criminals and engages them with a fencing sword, in the confusion, the kidnappers accidentally grievously wounded Sarah, splattering Alfred with her blood(giving Alfred haemophobia in the process), as she tells him to be big and strong. Realizing their ransom plot is now a failure, the kidnappers decide to kill Alfred, but they are instantly killed by a teenage Shin.
: Shin advises Alfred that everyone needs to be strong and stand up for themselves. Following his sister's last wishes and Shin's advice, Alfred resolves to become big and strong, eventually over the years bulking his body to a behemoth size and creating the [[Kenpo Goroshi]] style.

*Whilst Heart is the first character to use the word "HIDEBU" in both the manga and real life, in the Toei anime, the death cry is used by several other characters like [[Zeed]] prior to Heart's arrival likely due to its immense popularity among the fanbase.

*His name being changed to "Elephant" is likely a reference to the behavior of the creatures, as they are normally calm and passive creatures, but become incredibly dangerous when provoked into a blind panic, much like how Heart is usually reasonable and merciful, but becomes a dangerous killing machine when he sees his own blood.
