Souga (ソウガ, Sōga): First appearing in the True Savior Legend series, Souga is a childhood friend of Raoh from the Land of Asura, and master of Sūzan Senpū Kyaku (嵩山旋風脚, "Songshan Whirlwind Kick"). He and his younger sister, Reina, left their homeland to join Raoh's conquest, with Souga becoming a military strategist. His ultimate wish is to unite Raoh with the other two Hokuto brothers (Toki and Kenshiro) to achieve supremacy.

Already dying of an affliction, Souga stages a fake assassination attempt on Raoh's life and dies by his leader's hand, to discipline the troops who were growing complacent. The details of this plot are revealed to Reina in a letter written by her brother, where she learns that Raoh and the assassin were both in on the act.

Ten no Haoh

The Ten no Haoh spin-off covers Souga at the beginning of Raoh's rise to power. He has the nickname Souga the Swift Foot (韋駄天のソウガ Idaten no Sōga) but loses his right leg to a trap at Cassandra whilst helping Raoh and Reina escape, and replaces it with a mechanical prosthetic. After meeting Ryuga, he abandons his humanity and becomes more ruthless for the sake of Raoh's conquest. Souga is dealt a fatal blow during a battle with Gaiya and sentenced to only two months to live.
