    Toki Gaiden covers Amiba's first visit to the Village of Miracles, where he seeks out Toki to improve his limited knowledge of vital points. When Toki refuses to teach him and reprimands his conduct, Amiba plots against the village, first with the Zeed gang, and then conspires with Jagi, who helps him impersonate Toki by teaching him Hokuto Shinken and scarring his back with a club. While Toki is detained by Ken-Oh and his forces, Amiba infiltrates the village posing as Toki and begins his reign of terror, until he is killed by Kenshiro.
    In the Ten no Haoh manga, Amiba returns to the Village of Miracles and attacks Toki with his Hokuto Shin Ken imitation style, Hokuda Shin Ken (北蛇鍼拳, "Needle Fist of the North Snake").
