Shura no Kuni (修羅の国 Land of Asura) is a country in Hokuto no Ken and Souten no Ken. It is the birthplace of the Hokuto and Gento Kō Ken martial arts. Once a part of China, Shura no Kuni became a violent country ruled by warlords. Male Shura receive a spartan upbringing, learning only how to fight and kill. Only 1% of Shura boys reach adulthood.
