    A Kingsman who specializes in bōjutsu and wears clown-like makeup. Kenshiro confronts him while he's trying to execute a villager for fun. Kenshiro kills him with the Koushu Hagan Ken (Face Breaking Fist).

    TV Series

    In the anime series, he is the Jack of Diamond. Also different in the anime series, he and his men are forcing a man to aim a bow and arrow at his own son in William Tell fashion. Kenshiro saves the boy by using Nishi Shinku Ha to catch the arrow before it can hit him before sending it back into the shoulder of his father's tormentor, one of Diamond's men.

    Manga

    In the manga, he and his men are killing villagers in order to draw out Kenshiro so they can kill him. He forces a girl to hold up her father who has a noose around his neck to keep him from being hanged, a shout-out to villain Frank's most sadistic act from the old western Once Upon a Time in the West.
