    Leader of a bandit gang, who fights with concealed blades and explosives. Jackal is wary of Kenshirō's true power and uses underhanded tactics to avoid fighting him directly. After murdering Toyo, Bat's adoptive mother, he is hunted down by Kenshirō but escapes into Villainy Prison and tricks the monster Devil Rebirth into believing they are brothers. Kenshirō defeats Devil and then kills the helpless Jackal with a stick of his own dynamite.

    TV series

    In the TV series, Jackal and his gang are underlings working for the King organization. Jackal's fighting-style is also referred to as Nanto Bakusatsu Ken. In this version, Joker blackmails Jackal into releasing Devil Rebirth, in order to kill Kenshirō.

    1986 movie

    Jackal makes a short cameo in the theatrical movie, as a member of Jagi's gang. Jagi kills him after he recoils in horror at his unmasked face.
