Keiraku Hiko
The human body has 708 Keiraku Hikō (経絡秘孔 Meridian Channel Hidden Points, also known as simply Hikō, tsubo or pressure points). These pressure points can destroy a person within. The Hikō can also be used to erase and restore memory, heal, neutralize poisons, paralyze, cripple, mind control, force to speak truth, prolong or shorten lifespan, increase or decrease physical strenght and speed, and even can be used to revive someone freshly deceased. Hikō are used in the martial arts Hokuto Shinken, Seito Gekken, Hokuto Sonka Ken, Hokuto Soka Ken and its derivatives such as Gō no Ken, Jū no Ken, Hokumon no Ken and Hokuda Shin Ken. The Hokuto Ryu Ken counterpart is called Keiraku Hako.
In the anime, when Hikō are struck, electrical sparks emanate from the point of impact.
