(南斗孤鷲拳, South Dipper Lone Eagle Fist): An orthodox style of Nanto Seiken practiced by Shin, which uses stabbing/thrusting attacks, seemingly most dangerous in close quarters. It also has the ability to perform flying kicks, as shown in flashbacks in both the manga and anime, and the Nanto Gokuto Ken/Nanto Gokusatsu Ken attack, which uses air pressure to disable an opponent's limbs.
This branch of the Nanto Seiken was originally unnamed in the manga and anime. The designation Nanto Koshū Ken was first used in the 1986 publication Hokuto no Ken Special: All About the Man and has been used in every official Hokuto no Ken source since then. Shin announces its name for the first time in the video game Hokuto no Ken: Shinpan no Sōsōsei Kengō Retsuden.
Practitioners
Techniques
㊙ = An "Ōgi" (奥義 secret) technique.
Nanto Gokuto Ken (南斗獄屠拳 South Dipper Hell Slaughter Fist): A flying kick which maims the enemy by slicing the tendons in their arms and legs.
Nanto Senshuryū Geki (南斗千首龍撃, South Dipper Thousand Dragon Head Attack): A rapid stabbing motion that Shin opened with against Kenshiro during their rematch. It was unnamed in the manga, but credited in the anime series.
Nanto Hien Zan (南斗飛燕斬, South Dipper Flying Swallow Slash): A powerful flying kick used by Shin against his rebelling thugs in Episode 21 of the anime series.
Nanto Hiryū Ken (南斗飛竜拳, South Dipper Flying Dragon Fist) ㊙: A series of rapid punches used by Shin against General Barcom in episode 21 of the TV series to counter a technique that gives Barcom the strength of steel. The result of the attack makes his enemy crack all over like rock before Shin deals a finishing blow. It is modeled on Kenshiro's own Hokuto Hyakuretsu Dan from the second chapter of the Hokuto no Ken manga pilot, which in turn was the prototype for Kenshiro's trademark technique, the Hokuto Hyakurestsu Ken.
- Nanto Shishū Zan (南斗施鷲斬, South Dipper Bestowing Eagle Slash): Shin won his successorship at the Nanto Jūnin Kumite with this flying strike. Appears in the Yuria Gaiden manga.
