- Shuu (シュウ Shū)
- The successor of the Nanto Hakurō Ken (南斗白鷺拳, "South Star White Heron Fist") style and one of the Nanto Roku Seiken. He carries the burden of the Star of Benevolence (仁星 Jinsei), who is destined to live his life for the sake of others.
- Shuu was originally Souther's second-in-command and was present during young Kenshiro's battle at the Nanto Junin Kumite. Raoh had brought Kenshiro to the Nanto dojo in order to test his potential, where he would defeat ten Nanto opponents or die trying. When Kenshiro reacted to Shuu's ki, Shuu volunteered to be the final opponent and handily defeated the boy. However, Shuu defied Souther's order of execution and clawed out his own eyes in exchange for Kenshiro's life, believing his potential would surpass them all. Shuu carries the young Kenshiro from the temple and would now learn to see with his heart.
- After the nuclear war, Shuu leads a resistance movement against Souther, protecting the children of the wasteland from the Holy Emperor's wrath. When Kenshiro is defeated and imprisoned by Souther, Shuu's young son, Shiva, sacrifices his life to rescue him. The guerilla hideout is then sieged by Souther and his troops in retaliation. While Kenshiro is still unconscious as he recovers from his wounds, Shuu arranges his escape before challenging Souther himself. However, he is defeated and made to carry the capstone of Souther's Holy Pyramid in order to protect the hostages.
- Shuu dies resting the capstone, but before his death, he miraculously recovers his eyesight and witnesses the grown Kenshiro for the first and final time. When Souther is killed by Kenshiro, the summit of the pyramid leaks Shuu's blood, causing it to collapse under the weight of his sadness.
Trivia
- The path that Shuu makes in order to rest the capstone on Souther´s Holy Pyramid is possibly based on the Via Crucis of Jesus.
