Ryuga (リュウガ, Ryūga)
Voiced by: Hideyuki Hori (TV series), Daisuke Sakaguchi (Shin Kyūseishu Densetsu movie series, as a child)
Neither embracing the Hokuto nor Nanto style, he is master of Taizan Tenrōken (泰山天狼拳, "Taishan Celestial Wolf Fist"). Ryūga is of the Tenrō-sei (天狼星) or solitary star of Sirius; the Lone Wolf. His unique Taizan Tenrōken scoops out chunks of flesh from his enemies, letting them experience bitter cold before death. He is the older brother of Kenshiro's betrothed Yuria and the half-brother of Jūza. Having despised the chaos and turmoil that followed the post-apocalyptic world, he joined Raoh believing that his iron fist would establish stability and order back to the world. The Tenrō was a star destined to serve Hokuto. As a result, Ryūga destroyed those who opposed Raoh and set out to challenge Kenshirō in order to discover who was stronger among the two. After attacking Toki to provoke Kenshiro, Ryūga's mentality began to change. Unbeknownst at the time, Ryūga had committed seppuku as penance in case he killed his sister's beloved fiancé. However, Kenshiro proved his strength and defeated Ryūga, who died knowing it was Kenshiro who would save the world and not Raoh.
He appears in the opening flashback in Yuria Den as a child.
