Revision as of 21:36, 25 January 2011 by 94.38.13.30 (talk)

Ein (アイン, Ain) was a famed tracker and a headhunter who fights with an unorthodox street fighting style (ケンカ拳法, Kenka Kenpō). He is hired to capture Kenshiro, but after a brief fight with Ken, he begins to respect him. He has a daughter he protects with his very life and is the reason why he earns money. He sacrifices his own life just to rescue Bat, Myu, Lin and Lui because he felt he owed Kenshiro one. Kenshiro is given Ein's gloves by Asuka after his death in which he was seen wearing throughout the rest of the series (as well as in the OVA series New Fist of the North Star). In the manga, he has black hair and is vaguely similar to the late, great actor James Dean.
