- Military General of the Goshasei. Rihaku engineers a series of fatal traps to protect Yuria from the advancing Raoh. Raoh easily overcomes these traps, but Rihaku is saved by Kenshirō's arrival. He bears witness to Kenshirō's activation of the Musō Tensei technique, the ultimate technique of Hokuto Shinken. Rikahu later becomes the elder statesman of Lin and Bat's "Hokuto Army" after Ken leaves with Yuria.
