    Shuren is a member of the Nanto Goshasei and leader of the Crimson Army. He uses a special martial art which manipulates phosphorous to destroy adversaries with deadly flames.
    After the death of Hyūi, his "brother star", Shuren mobilized his Crimson Army against Ken-Oh's forces to exact his revenge. Shuren pre-emptively attacked Ken-oh's army by launching innumerable arrows at them as they approached the valley. Afterwards, Shuren fought against two of Ken-Oh's best trained warriors before challenging the man himself. Shuren launched himself at Ken-Oh, however both his right hand and right leg were shattered in vain. With one last stand, Shuren engulfed himself in flames and performed a kamikaze attack. However, this was futile in the face of Raoh's strength, who twisted Shuren's neck and crushed his head into ashes.

    TV Series

    In the anime series, Shuren holds a funeral pyre for his fallen comrade Hyūi by burning down his castle to ensure there is no turning back for him and his army in their upcoming battle with Ken-Oh.
    He also fights against one of Ken-Oh's invasion forces before challenging the main army.

    Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu Hokuto no Ken

    In the OVA Yuria Den, Shuren teams up with Fudoh and Hyūi in their mission to capture Rei for the Last Nanto General.
    In Raoh Den: Gekitō no Shō, there is a shorter version of Shuren's fight with Raoh. He launches a fireball at Raoh before flying at him head-on. Raoh easily deflects the attack, causing Raoh to burst into flames.
