- Leader of a bandit gang, who fights with concealed blades and explosives. Jackal is wary of Kenshiro's true power and uses underhanded tactics to avoid fighting him directly. After murdering Toyo, Bat's adoptive mother, he is hunted down by Kenshiro but escapes into Villainy Prison and tricks the monster Devil Rebirth into believing they are brothers. Kenshiro defeats Devil and then kills the helpless Jackal with a stick of his own dynamite. In the television series, Jackal's fighting style is identified as Nanto Bakusatsu Ken (South Dipper Explosive Murder Fist) and he takes his orders from the King organization.
- In the 1986 movie, Jackal makes a brief cameo as a henchman working for Jagi. However, when he's horrified by the sight of Jagi's disfigured face, Jagi kills him in retaliation.
