<p style="">'''Tenryū Kokyū Hō''' (転龍呼吸法, ''Art of Dragon's Breathing'') ㊙: A method of breathing that allows the Hokuto Shinken practitioner to tap into their body's full potential.

Use of this technique causes Kenshiro's jacket to burst. He only announces this technique twice during the series, however it is assumed that he uses it every time his jacket explodes when fighting against a strong opponent.</p>
