Jagi

The second-youngest of the four Hokuto brothers, Jagi (ジャギ) was also the least skilled of them. He used a shotgun to dispense with most of his victims. Enraged at Kenshirō being chosen successor, he attacked him. Kenshirō hit Jagi with the Hokuto Hachimon Kyuudan (Eighth Agony, Ninth Break) technique. However, with Jagi being his stepbrother, Kenshiro could not bring himself to deal the final blow.  Despite this, Jagi's head begins to change shape and become disfigured.  Utilizing his own Hokuto Shin Ken techniques, Jagi was able to counteract any further effects of the attack.  He would later appear with metal implants to keep the swelling down on his head.  The reason for this is that he appears to have a self concious personality about his appearance and suffers from an inferiority complex. With even more hatred for Kenshirō, Jagi convinced Shin into taking Yulia from Ken.  He would speak to a jealous Shin telling him that Kenshiro did not deserve a Nanto woman and that Julia (Yuria) belonged to Shin. Jagi then donned a helmet to hide his hideous face and put seven scars on his chest. He then impersonated Ken and did horrible atrocities in Ken's name. During this period Jagi killed Rei's parents and kidnapped Airi, selling her into slavery. He also learned some Nanto Sei Ken, albeit inferior as Kenshiro noted that his form of Nanto Sei Ken is nothing compared to Shin's, indicating that even against a Hokuto Shin Ken practitioner, Shin would provide a challenge.

Jagi was eventually hunted down and killed by Kenshirō.

After his death, Jagi (quickly forgotten) is usually unaccounted for in the manga when the Hokuto Brothers are mentioned.

Jagi was voiced by Kōji Totani in the TV series, Chikao Ōtsuka in the 1986 movie and David Itō 2007 OVA Yuria Den. He was voiced by Dan Woren in Streamline Pictures' dub of the 1986 movie.

 

Personality

Of the four step-brothers, Jagi is the most narcissistic despite his unappealing appearance prior to his injuries.  This is further reinforced based on the lengths he goes to to keep the swelling down on his head with painful metal implants, the mask that he wears and the painful scars he gave himself to defame Kenshiro.  His style and methods of fighting are dishonorable as evidenced during a training session in the anime in which he spits his signature needles at Kenshiro and claims to be the victor.  As noted by Kenshiro, Jagi uses surprise tactics and deception to fight his opponents much like a ninja would.  His manner of dress and his mask also indicates that his methods resemble that of a ninja.

His personality dictates that any victory comes at any cost, even if it costs his allies.  Through the use of his shotgun, needles, and the use of a gas tank on top of a heliport, this demonstrates to what lengths he will go to in order to win. Even sacrificing children are fair game according to Jagi.

Trivia

Jagi's mask is believed to have been inspired by the manga Sukeban Deka and its TV series, Sukeban Deka II: Shōjo Tekkamen Densetsu.

His "What's my name?" line is attributed to Muhammad Ali, who shouted this to Ernie Terrell.
