Shouki (ショウキ Shōki)

General in the Imperial Capital's army who served the Heavenly Empress Lui along with Falco.

Years before becoming a general, Shouki was also the guardian of his own home village. After the fall of Raoh, Kenshiro embarked on a journey with Yuria where he stumbled upon Shouki's village being attacked by bandits. After Kenshiro had thwarted the bandits, Shouki returned to the village. When he learned of Kenshiro's deed, he decided to reward Kenshiro and Yuria by providing them shelter and allowing them to stay in his hideaway home, where Yuria spent the last years of her life together with Ken.

When Jakoh took over the Imperial Capital by holding Lui captive, Shouki rebelled and attempted to take Jakoh's life. However, his attempt was thwarted by Falco and Shouki was placed in a false state of death. Falco placed Shouki inside a body bag and left him at capital's canal of corpses in the hopes that Shouki would escape the capital alive. However, Jakoh's younger son Sheeno saw through the ruse and stabbed Shouki with his own spear, mortally wounding him.

The wounded Shouki was discovered by the Hokuto Army after floating to the other side of the canal. Before dying, Shouki got to find out that Jakoh's dreaded enemy, the Hokuto Shinken successor, was none other than his old friend Kenshiro.

TV Series

In the anime version of the story, Shouki was given the title of the Red Light General. Shouki faces Kenshiro as a Gento Kō Ken martial artist, although his true identity is concealed behind his helmet. Kenshiro senses no murderous intent from his opponent and smashes the helmet to find out his assailant's identity, where he's reunited with Shouki. Shouki allows Kenshiro to pass and orders his subordinates to do the same, knowing that it would incur Jakoh's wrath. Shouki's killer was changed from Sheeno to the Gento fighter, Boltz. When he meets Kenshiro again before dying, Shouki begs him to defeat the true mastermind behind the Imperial Army, Jakoh.

In the Family Computer video game version of Hokuto no Ken 2, Shōki's role as the Gento General of Red Light is assumed by a completely new character named Bronza. However, Shōki's death is still mentioned in the game's official strategy guide.
