- The leader of the Fang Clan. Master of Kazan Kakuteigi (華山角抵戯, "Huashan Horn Wrestling") style. His Kazan Kogai Koho allows him to turn his body to hard steel. He is known as "Father" (oyaji) to his underlings. He places so much value into his own "children" that when a group of them are killed, he decides to avenge them by killing a group of peasants. He tries to make Kenshirō and Rei fight each other, by kidnapping Airi and then holding Mamiya hostages. However, Kenshiro and Rei trick him into releasing the women by putting themselves in a false state of death. Ultimately, Kenshiro confronts him and kills by striking a pressure point that turn Kiba Daiō's steel body into rust, before finishing him with Ganzan Ryōzan Ha.

Trivia
- Kiba Daiō was originally nameless in the manga. The introduction of Vol. 5 of the Jump Comics edition referred to his character as "Chief of the Kiba Clan" (牙一族・族長 Kiba Ichizoku Zokuchō). The name Kiba Daiō was introduced for the character in the Hokuto no Ken television series and has been used in later subsequent media since. In the guidebook Kyūkyoku Kaisetsu - Seikimatsu Haō Retsuden, he is given the English title of the King of Kiba (also used in the Punch Mania arcade game). In the english version of Hokuto Musō he is instead called Boss Fang.
