Tōki (闘気, Fighting Spirit) is a special type of ki energy used in several martial arts, including Hokuto Shin Ken ,Nanto Sei Ken and Gento Kō Ken . Hokuto Ryū Ken's counterpart called Matōki no Aura (魔闘気のオーラ, Demonic Fighting Spirit Aura) can drive the practitioner insane with evil, turning them into a Majin (魔神, God of Black Magic).

It can be used to launch ki-based attacks that can be used to strike targets (even tiny ones, like the Keiraku Hiko) at long range, or, to defend the user from attack.

An expert user can often radiate Tōki from his own body as an aura (Tōki no Aura)(Fighting Spirit Aura) whilst focusing it for attacks.

Tōki also manifests in the form of illusions, such as a barrage of fists, as demonstrated by Raoh, or a hail of swords, as demonstrated by Rofū.
