Shū (シュウ, Shū): The successor of the Nanto Hakurō Ken (南斗白鷺拳, "South Star White Heron Fist") style and one of the Nanto Roku Seiken. He carries the burden of the Star of Benevolence (仁星, Jinsei), who is destined to serve and protect the future generation.

Shuh was originally Souther's second-in-command and was present during young Kenshiro's battle at the Nanto Junin Kumite. Raoh had brought Kenshiro to the Nanto dojo in order to test his ability, where he would have to defeat ten Nanto opponents or be killed. When Kenshiro reacted to Shuh's ki, Shuh volunteered to be the final opponent and handily defeated the boy. However, realizing that Kenshiro's potential would outshine them all, Shuh's Star of Benevolence was awakened and he defied Souther's orders to execute the boy, clawing out his own eyes in exchange for Kenshiro's life. Shuh carries the young Kenshiro from the temple and from that day forth learned to see with his heart.

After the nuclear war, Shuh leads a resistance movement against Souther, saving the children of the wasteland from the Holy Emperor's wrath. When Kenshiro is beaten and imprisoned by Souther, Shuh's young son, Shiva, sacrifices his life to rescue him. The guerilla hideout is then attacked by Souther and his troops in retaliation. As Kenshiro is still unconscious while recovering from his wounds, Shuh arranges his escape before challenging Souther himself. However, Souther slices the tendons in his legs, crippling his Nanto Hakuro Ken, and forces Shuh carry the capstone of Souther's Holy Pyramid in order to protect the hostages.

Shuh dies resting the capstone, but before his death, he miraculously recovers his eyesight and witnesses the adult Kenshiro for the first and last time. When Souther is subsequently killed by Kenshiro, the summit of the pyramid leaks Shuh's blood, causing it to collapse under the weight of his sorrow.

Trivia

The path that Shuh makes in order to rest the capstone on Souther´s Holy Pyramid is possibly based on the Via Crucis of Jesus.
In Rei Gaiden, Shuh is revealed to have a goatee in Rei's flashback rise to successorship of Nanto Suicho Ken, and in events transpiring shortly before Rei's first appearance in Hokuto no Ken, has sported scruffy facial hair, contrary to his clean-shaven appearance in Hokuto no Ken.
