Amiba: Difference between revisions

: The self-proclaimed genius, Amiba was originally a practitioner of [[Nanto Sei Ken]], but believing he could master any martial art in record time he turned his attention to [[Hokuto Shin Ken]]. He travelled to the [[Village of Miracles]] in order to prove his worth, but when experimenting by himself he almost killed an elderly man with his efforts. For this blunder, he was publicly rebuked by [[Toki]], leaving the humiliated Amiba swearing revenge on both Toki and the Village of Miracles.

: When Toki was imprisoned in [[Cassandra]] by [[Raoh]], Amiba took the opportunity to exact his revenge by impersonating Toki and destroying his reputation. He rearranged his appearance to model Toki, right down to the scar on his back, and tortured martial artists and villagers with cruel "new pressure point tests", and reported these findings to Raoh. When Amiba was finally exposed as a fraud, [[Kenshirō]] used ''Zankai Sekihoken'', causing Amiba to involuntarily walk over the edge of a high-rise building.

: In the manga spin-off [[Rei Gaiden]], it was revealed that Amiba studied [[Nanto Suichō Ken]] under the master [[Rofu]], but ultimately lost the race for successor to [[Rei]].

:[[Shirogane no Seija: Toki Gaiden| Toki Gaiden]] covers Amiba's first visit to the ''Village of Miracles'' where he seeks out Toki to improve his already limited knowledge of acupressure. When Toki refuses to teach him and reprimands his conduct, Amiba plots against the village with the [[Zeed| Zeed gang]] and also conspires with [[Jagi]], who helps him impersonate Toki by teaching him [[Hokuto Shin Ken]] and scarring his back with a club. While Toki is detained by Ken-Oh and his forces, Amiba infiltrates the village posing as Toki and begins his reign of terror.

: In the [[Ten no Haoh]] manga, Amiba introduces his Hokuto Shin Ken imitation style by the name {{nihongo|''[[Hokuda Shin Ken]]''|北蛇鍼拳||"Needle Fist of the North Snake"}}.

*Amiba's design was modeled after actor [http://highlander.wikia.com/wiki/Connor_MacLeod Christopher Lambert].

*Amiba's human experimentation resemble that of [[wikipedia:Shirō Ishii|Dr. Shirō Ishii]] and his [[wikipedia:Unit 731|Unit 731]]. He and his men referring to people as ''deku'' (木人形 ''wooden doll'') is similar to Ishii's ''maruta'' (丸太 ''logs'').
