Luo Hucheng

Luó Hŭchéng (traditional Chinese: 羅虎城; Wade-Giles: Lo Hu-Ch'eng; Japanese: Ra Kojō)

A diminutive National Revolutionary Army general and ally of Zhang Lieshan.

He is brought with the promise of control over Shanghai's underworld to kill Pan Guanglin and later confronted by Kenshiro Kasumi, who struck a pressure point on him that if someone (or even himself) would say his name he would die. The first time he purposely mispronounced his own name but later at the fight between Kenshiro and Lièshān he said it correctly, dying.

His death led to Kuomintang, China's ruling political party of which the NRA is the military arm of, hiring Biāo Báifèng to challenge Kenshiro in a duel; while the top-echelon KMT officials do not think much of Luó, either, and consider the circumstance behind Kenshiro's actions to be sufficiently-honorable, they also unanimously agree that the assassination of a NRA general cannot go unpunished. Chiang Kai-Shek, the supreme commander of the NRA and having overruled an earlier proposal of deploying Juntong assassins against Kenshiro, thus declares to his officers that China must "answer martial arts with martial arts".
