    Kiba Daio's right-hand man and informant. Ninja-like and said to be smartest of the Kiba Ichizoku. He is the one who informs Kiba Daiō of Airi's whereabouts. In the manga, he dies before the fight between Ken and Rei after taunting the former and questioning Kenshiro's concern over the captured women. In the anime, Gojiba displays the abiltiy to teleport similar to Joker and showcases great skill with throwing knives. 

    Video Games

    • Gojiba portrait in Hokuto no Ken 3.
      Gojiba shows up as a random enemy simply under the name "Kiba" in Hokuto no Ken 3. His sprite is used again for a game original character, an Asura boss character known as Gatekeeper, who guards Hyo's castle and attacks Kenshiro in a misguided attempt to avenge Sakuya, but is easily killed in battle.

    Notes

    • Gojiba is one of the only characters to show advanced martial arts skill, yet never fight nor have his style named. Though it is reasonable to assume he practices some version of Kazan-ha Kenpo, as everyone else in his family does.
