Hokuto Ryūken is another rival style of Hokuto Shinken introduced during the latter half of the manga. Hokuto Ryūken is a branch of the original Hokuto family that was formed alongside Hokuto Shinken in the Land of Asura. The Hokuto Ryūken style utilizes 1,109 points of the {{nihongo|'''keiraku hakō'''|経絡破孔||the "destructive [[wikipedia:Meridian (Chinese medicine)|channeling]] points"}} in contrast to the 708 keiraku hikō points of the ''Shinken'' style. The exact differences between the Ryūken style's hakō points and the Shinken style's hikō points are never fully explained. The users of ''Hokuto Ryūken'' are taught to fight with their {{nihongo|"demonic aura"|魔闘気|matōki}}, driving them insane with madness. In the TV series, it is revealed that Hokuto Ryūken was founded by Ryūō of the Hokuto Sōke bloodline, the ancestor of Kaioh, Raoh and Toki. Hokuto Ryūken is also featured in ''[[Souten no Ken]]'', where it is revealed that it was once known as {{nihongo|'''Hokuto Ryūkaken'''|北斗劉家拳||"North Dipper Liu Family Fist"}}, one of the three subordinate branches of Hokuto Shinken.
