Souga (ソウガ, Sōga)

A childhood friend of Raoh from the Land of Shura and master of Sūzan Senpū Kyaku (嵩山旋風脚, "Songshan Whirlwind Kick"). Also, known as Souga the Swift Foot (韋駄天のソウガ, Idaten no Sōga) because of his speed. He and his younger sister Reina left their homeland to join Raoh's army, with Souga becoming a military strategist. They became Raoh's most trusted followers and Souga even sacrificed his right leg at Cassandra to protect Raoh's conquest, replacing it with a prosthetic.

Souga was later dealt a fatal blow by Gaiya, sentencing him to only two months to live.

Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu

In Raoh Den: Junai no Shō, Souga allows an assassin into Raoh's quarters, causing Raoh to kill him for treason. The heartbroken Reina later discovers this was a plot hatched by her brother and Raoh to discipline the soldiers, as Souga was already dying of his previous affliction.

Trivia

Soga's Senpu Kyaku technique is possibly the basis of one of Ryu and Ken's signature moves (the Tatsumake Senpu Kyaku) from the Street Fighter video games.
