    Manga & TV Series

    He is the one who informs Kiba Daiō of Airi's whereabouts. He dies before the fight between Ken and Rei after taunting the former and questioning Kenshiro's concern over the captured women.
    In the anime, Gojiba displays the ability to teleport similar to Joker and showcases great skill with throwing knives when threatening Mamiya.

    Video Games

    Gojiba portrait in Hokuto no Ken 3.
    Gojiba shows up as a random enemy simply under the name "Kiba" in Hokuto no Ken 3. His sprite is used again for a game original character, an Asura character known as Gatekeeper, who guards Hyo's castle and attacks Kenshiro in a misguided attempt to avenge Sayaka, but is easily killed in a boss battle.

    Notes

    • Gojiba is one of the only characters to show advanced martial arts skill, yet never fight nor have his style named. Though it is reasonable to assume he practices some version of Kazan-ha Kenpo, as everyone else in his family does.
    • Gojiba is mistakenly refered to as a master of the Axe in the italian dub.
    • Gojiba's anime model sheet reveal his movement was themed after a monkey.
