    Yuda's style. Nanto Kōkaku Ken (南斗紅鶴拳, South Dipper Flamingo Fist; also can be translated as Crested Ibis Fist) is a style based on long-range, vertical attacks. It can attack a wide vertical range, seems to cause more damage when used for vertical slices, and is said to be so fast that the shockwave from an attack can split an enemy from the back.

    Techniques

    • Denshō Reppa (伝衝裂波, "Legendary Thrust Split Wave") - A mud-splitting wave attack used by Yuda. Unnamed in the manga. Kenshiro later uses this technique against Shū after witnessing it Yuda in battle. In the anime series, Raoh has also learnt the style and uses it against Kenshiro.
    • Kesshō Shi (血粧嘴, "Blood Makeup Beak") - The ultimate Kokaku Ken attack. A technique Yuda was about to performed on Rei before he was killed. In the 2005 Hokuto no Ken: Shinpan no Sōsōsei Kengō Retsuden fighting game, it is assumed to be a psycho crusher-style human torpedo attack.
