The second-youngest of the four Hokuto brothers, Jagi (ジャギ) was looked down on for his underhand tactics, which dictated victory at any cost, such as relying on a shotgun or spitting needles. His desire to cheat was only rivalled by his contempt for Kenshirō, his younger adoptive brother. Jagi believed that younger siblings must respect their elders and that it would be disgraceful for a younger brother to surpass him.

Hearing the news that Kenshirō was named successor, an outraged Jagi confronted him and ordered him to step down. Failing that, Jagi tried to kill him but was defeated, only to be spared at the last moment. Escaping with a disfigured head, Jagi had to use metal implants to relieve the swelling and adopted a helmet to hide his now hideous face. He exacted his revenge by manipulating Shin of the Nanto Sei Ken into defeating Kenshirō and kidnapping his fiancée Yuria. Shin had always loved Yuria from afar, and Jagi convinced him that Kenshirō wasn't worthy of protecting her in the violent wasteland.

Jagi also attempted to defame Kenshirō by impersonating him, intentionally scarring himself to replicate the seven scars on his chest. He terrorized villages in Kenshirō's name, killed Rei's parents and kidnapped his younger sister Airi, selling her into a life of slavery. Kenshirō finally caught up with Jagi who was outmatched and outfought. He even tried his own style of Nanto Seiken, which Kenshirō remarked was 'slow' and an insult to Shin's style. Kenshirō insisted that an ugly death befitted Jagi, before obliterating him once and for all.

After his death, Jagi is usually unaccounted for in the manga when the Hokuto Brothers are mentioned.

Trivia

Jagi's mask is believed to have been inspired by the manga Sukeban Deka and its TV series, Sukeban Deka II: Shōjo Tekkamen Densetsu.

His "What's my name?" line is attributed to Muhammad Ali, who shouted this to Ernie Terrell.

-The second-youngest of the four Hokuto brothers, {{nihongo|'''Jagi'''|ジャギ}} was also the least skilled of them. He used a shotgun to dispense with most of his victims. Enraged at [[Kenshirō]] being chosen successor, he attacked him. Kenshiro defended himself and was preparing to finish Jagi with the Hokuto Hachimon Kyuudan (Eighth Agony, Ninth Break) technique, but with Jagi being his stepbrother Kenshiro could not bring himself to kill him.&nbsp; Despite this, Jagi's head became disfigured from Kenshiro's first attack. Utilizing his own Hokuto Shin Ken techniques, Jagi was able to counteract any further effects of the attack, and would later appear with metal implants to protect the swelling on his head.&nbsp; The reason for this is that he appears to have&nbsp;a self concious personality about his appearance and suffers from an inferiority complex. With even more hatred for Kenshirō, Jagi&nbsp;convinced [[Shin]] into taking [[Yulia]] from Ken. He professed to Shin that Kenshiro was unworthy of a Nanto woman and that only Shin could protect her. Jagi then donned a helmet to hide his hideous face and put seven scars on his chest. He then impersonated Ken and did horrible atrocities in Ken's name. During this period Jagi killed [[Rei]]'s parents and kidnapped [[Airi]], selling her into slavery. He also appropriated [[Nanto Sei Ken]], however his [[Nanto Jarō Geki]] technique was so inferior that Kenshiro remarked on its slowness and that it was an insult to Shin's [[Nanto Sei Ken]]. Jagi was eventually hunted down and killed by Kenshirō, who remarked that a gruesome death befitted him.

-== Personality ==
-Of the four step-brothers, Jagi is the most reprehensible and dishonourable.&nbsp; He uses metal implants to subdue the violent swelling on his head, and also inflicted seven scars on his own body in order to imitate and defame Kenshiro. This epitomizes the true extent of Jagi's vendetta against his younger brother.&nbsp; His style and methods of fighting are dishonorable as evidenced during a training session in the anime in which he spits his signature needles at Kenshiro and claims to be the victor. As noted by Kenshiro, Jagi uses surprise tactics and deception to fight his opponents much like a ninja would. His manner of dress and his mask&nbsp;also indicates that his methods resemble that of a ninja.
+Jagi also attempted to defame Kenshirō by impersonating him, intentionally scarring himself to replicate the seven scars on his chest.

+After his death, Jagi is usually unaccounted for in the manga when the Hokuto Brothers are mentioned.
-His personality dictates that victory comes at any cost, even at the cost of one's allies.&nbsp; Through the use of his shotgun, needles, and the use of a gas tank on top of a heliport, this demonstrates to what lengths he will go to in order to win. Even sacrificing children are fair game according to Jagi. His fighting style is dirty and uses Hokuto Shinken in combination with weapons.
