Amiba (アミバ): The self-proclaimed genius, Amiba was originally a practitioner of Nanto Seiken, but believing he could master any martial art in record time, he turned his sights on Hokuto Shinken. He travelled to the Village of Miracles in order to prove his worth and when experimenting by himself he almost killed an elderly man with his efforts. For this blunder, he was publicly rebuked by Toki, causing the humiliated Amiba to swear revenge on Toki and the villagers.

When Toki was imprisoned in Cassandra by Raoh, Amiba took the opportunity to exact his revenge by impersonating Toki and destroying his reputation. He rearranged his appearance to model Toki, right down to the scar on his back, and tortured martial artists and villagers with cruel "new vital point tests", and reported these findings to Raoh. When Amiba was exposed as a fraud by Rei (who trained with him during his Nanto Seiken days), Kenshiro defeated him with Zankai Sekiho Ken, causing Amiba to involuntarily walk to his death from the top of his palace.

Gaiden material

In the manga spin-off Rei Gaiden, it was revealed that Amiba studied Nanto Suichō Ken under the previous master, Rofu, but ultimately lost the race for successor to Rei.

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"). Toki easily defeats him with Hokuto Ujō Ken but spares his life to prevent more bloodshed. Amiba does not appear in the animated adaptation.

Trivia

Amiba's design was modelled after actor Christopher Lambert.
Amiba's human experimentation resembles that of Dr. Shirō Ishii and his Unit 731. He and his men referring to people as deku (木人形 wooden doll) is similar to Ishii's maruta (丸太 logs).
