- Mount Ryujin Guardian (竜神山の番人 Ryūjin san no bannin)
- A wild man who wears a bearskin and prevents intruders from reaching Dragon & Patra's hideout on Mount Ryujin.
Appearance
- He is an unkempt looking pale-skinned, brown-haired man who has a wrinkly, aged face, with round eyes, a unibrow, a big bushy beard and sharp teeth that form an underbite when his mouth is closed.
- He wears the skin of an animal that could be some sort of large feline or a bear, which is colored purple, and also wears yellow bandages around his forearms and calves, with no shoes.
Personality
- Not much is known about his personality, as instead of speaking, he communicates in shrill battlecries and grunts, but he is shown to be loyal to Dragon & Patra, as he guards the woods that lead to their hideout from any intruders.
- He has something of a temper, which proves to be his undoing when he gets frustrated from Ken dodging and defeating his attacks, and recklessly tries to attack him with his daggers after multiple attacks.
Abilities
- Despite his savage appearance, he is shown to be a tactical and crafty fighter who specializes in a Ninjutsu fighting style, as he uses strategies like trying to take Kenshiro by surprise by throwing shuriken at him, then pulling off multiple hit-and-run attacks to try and overwhelm him.
TV Series
- He ambushes Kenshiro in the woods, attacking him with a variety of weapons, such as shurikens, grenades, a whip and knives. Kenshiro disables his arms with the Kyōsei (竅星) vital point and uses him as a guide to the summit of Mt. Ryujin. During the ascent, Dragon appears and punishes the guardian for leading Kenshiro to their hideout by setting him ablaze and making him plummet to his death.
