- Gaira (ガイラ Gaira)
- A minion of Jagi who only appears in the anime. He claimed to have learned Hokuto Shinken from his master.
TV Series
- Angry about Kenshiro ignoring his challenge by simply elbowing him in the face, Gaira tried to strike Kenshiro with a Hokuto Zankai Ken. When he counted to ten, it was himself that exploded, unaware that he was counting down to his own death the whole time.
Trivia
- Danmatsuma: "Ohhh nooo!"
- In the Italian dubbing, Gaira says he wants to be Kenshiro's sidekick, which is contrary to him attacking Kenshiro.
- In the original manga, a separate minion of Jagi named Gisatsu tries to use his own self-taught imitation of Hokuto Shin Ken. Gisatsu does appear in the anime, but never tries to use any martial art on Kenshiro. The scene of Kenshiro elbowing Gaira is identical to the manga's equivalent scene with Gisatsu.
- His English language actor, Matthew Mercer, would later go on to voice Rei in the English version of the video game Hokuto Musō.
