Lin (リン, Rin): Voiced by: Tomiko Suzuki; Lin was a young orphan who lost the ability to speak after witnessing the death of her parents (her older brother in the anime) during the nuclear holocaust. In the beginning of the series, she lives in a small village where she serves prisoners, which is how she meets Kenshirō. He restores her voice using Hokuto Shin Ken and later saves her from Zeed, during a bandit raid on the village. Lin was never able to forget this act of compassion and followed Kenshirō after he left the village. She falls into the hands of the Golan, who captured young girls to groom for their 'master race', until Kenshirō saves her once more. Although she is a small girl, Lin displays outstanding charity and courage throughout the series, with an unwavering faith in Kenshirō and his potential to save mankind from the horrors of the wasteland.

After the time-skip following Raoh's death, Lin and Bat formed the Hokuto Army during Kenshirō's absence, and fight against the oppressive Imperial Army. It is later revealed that Lin was actually adopted as a child, and that she is really the twin sister of Lui, the Celestial Empress. After Jakō and his corrupt regime are destroyed by Kenshirō and Falco, Lin is kidnapped by Jakō's son Jask (Tiger in the anime) and taken to the Land of Shura. Kenshirō rescues her from the demons that await them and tells her to return home to her family and loved ones. However, Lin's feelings for Kenshirō force her to follow him deeper into the island. Lin is captured by Kaioh, who wishes her to carry his child, however failing that, he uses the Shikanhaku (死環白) pressure point, which causes the victim to fall in love with the first person they awaken to. As a result, she later falls in love with Bat. In the final volume of the manga, Bat refuses to live a lie and erases Lin's memory with his limited Hokuto Shinken knowledge. Kenshirō also loses his memory during a fateful thunderstorm, and Bat arranges for the two to be together. Bat also stakes his life against Bolge, an old enemy from Kenshirō's past. Lin and Kenshirō recover their memory, only to find Bat is mortally wounded. As a dying wish, Bat tells Lin to spend her life with Kenshirō, the man she loves. Lin respects his wish, only to have a change of heart and return to Bat's side. To her surprise, she finds Bat has survived, thanks to Kenshirō's Hokuto Shinken.

1986 movie

Lin's introduction remains faithful to the original manga/television series. After she is saved from Zeed by Kenshirō, Lin and Bat follow him on his journey to find Yuria, until Kenshirō leaves them with Rei.

The three of them travel to Cassandra, where they discover Yuria is now in the hands of Ken-Oh. After Rei dies protecting Yuria, Kenshirō arrives and fights Raoh in a violent battle. Lin intervenes at the last second to save Kenshirō's life. Raoh accepts her plea, informing Lin that neither he or Kenshirō will die until she has grown up.

-==Plot overview==
-A young orphan, Lin witnessed the death of her parents (and an older brother in the anime) during the nuclear war and lost the ability to speak due to the shock. In the beginning of the series, she lives in a small village in which [[Kenshiro]] arrives. He restores her voice and later saves her from Zeed after his gang attacks the village. Lin becomes infatuated with him and leaves to search for him. She is rescued again by Ken from the Golan commandos(Club's men in the TV series) and becomes one of the main characters for the remainder of the series.
-After the time-skip following [[Raoh]]'s defeat, she and [[Bat]] form the Hokuto Army during Kenshiro's abscent to fight off the regime of the Central Imperial Capital. It is revealed that she was adopted as a child, and that she is actually the daughter of the Celestial Emperor along with her twin sister Lui, the current Empress. After Kenshiro defeats Jakō, Lin is kidnapped and taken to the Land of [[Asura]], leading to the Asura arc. Kenshiro rescues her from the demons of Asura, telling her to return to her sister (Lui) and the man she loves (believing he is Bat). However, she reveals her true feelings about Kenshiro and decides to stay in Asura to follow him. Kaioh eventually captures her and as a gesture of mockery, pushes the pressure point {{nihongo|Shikanhaku|死環白}}, which causes its victims to fall in love with the first person they see after regaining consciousness. After Kaioh's defeat, she falls in love with Bat as a result of Shikanhaku. It should be noted that if in the anime she wears for the full duration of the series her Hokuto Army marked outfit, in the manga she's forced to drop it during captivity in Asura, and she wears a light robe. During the final story arc, Bat becomes upset at this fact and erases Lin's memories with his limited Hokuto Shinken knowledge. After Kenshiro loses his memory during a thunderstorm, he arranges the two to live together. However, both Lin and Kenshiro regain their memories when Bat is seriously injured during his fight with Bolge, a villain from Ken's past. In the end, she finally recognizes Bat's feelings and chooses to be with him out of her free will rather than Ken.
