    : The Second [[Rashō]] and [[Kenshiro|Kenshiro's]] biological older brother. As a child, he entrusted [[Raoh]] to protect his baby brother when they were leaving the country, while Hyoh remained in [[Shura no Kuni|Shura]] to learn ''[[Hokuto Ryūken]]'' from his master, [[Jukei]]. Hyoh was infused with knowledge of the original ''[[Hokuto Sōke no Ken]]'' style as a child, but Hyoh refused to use this style, preferring for Kenshiro to learn it in his place. Because of Hyoh's compassion for his brother, Jukei attempted to erase his memory of Kenshiro to prevent any weakness, leaving a small x-shaped scar across his forehead. An event that Jukei would later come to regret.

    : However, Hyoh only pretended to have his memory erased from Jukei, who had hesitated at the last movement. In reality, his memories were sealed by [[Kaioh]] after he learned the truth about his heritage and destiny. After the nuclear holocaust, Kaioh became the new ruler of Asura, with Hyoh becoming his second-in-command. Over the next few years, Hyoh gained a reputation as a powerful but relatively compassionate ruler, causing the people of Asura to regard him favorably compared to the other Rasho.


    : In reality, Hyoh only pretended to have his memory erased from Jukei, and it was a young [[Kaioh]] who actually erased Hyoh's memories after learning the truth. After the nuclear holocaust, Hyoh let Kaioh become the new ruler of Shura, while Hyoh settled for being his second-in-command. Hyoh is romantically involved with Kaioh's sister, [[Sayaka]], but Kaioh murders her in cold blood and frames Kenshiro, unleashing the full power of Hyoh's [[Matōki no Aura|Matōki]].

Before he can do so, however, he is confronted by Jukei, who announces that he has come to unseal Hyoh's lost memories in order to stop Kaioh - Hyoh's memories contain the knowledge Kenshiro needs in order to overcome Raoh's demonic brother. Unfortunately, Kaioh proved to be one step ahead of his former master; when he sealed Hyoh's memories, he also pressed vital points that would render Jukei's technique ineffective.

    • Power: 4
    • Speed: 5

    Trivia

    • Hyoh's forehead scar was believed to have inspired the Hyūga clan forehead seal in Naruto. However, this has proven to be untrue, as the Hyuga Clan forehead seal from the original Naruto manga in Japan resembled the Buddhist manji () swastika which is often confused with the Nazi Hakenkreuz. As such, it was edited to an X symbol due to political correctness.
    • While it is known that the series takes inspiration from Mad Max, Hyou's outfit in the manga and video games are similar to outfits worn by Grandmaster Melle Mel & The Furious 5, and to their portrayal on the 1984 breakdancing and street art drama film Beat Street, where their contribution of song Beat Street Breakdown and onstage wardrobe for the finale performance piece highlighted the once tense urbanizing atmosphere of the 1980s and the Cold War.
