Kobito (コビト)[1], better known as the Giant Hag (でかいババア, Dekai Babā), was a giant underling of Ken-oh who cross-dressed as a seemingly innocent old lady. He lured Kenshirō, Toki and Mamiya to his cabin, attempting to trick the trio into drinking poisoned water. However, Ken easily saw through the "old lady's" ruse, claiming that he has never seen an old woman like him. The Hag tried to attack Kenshiro with pair of swords, but Ken easily thwarted him with a high kick, killing him in the process.

In the anime, the Hag is not as a giant compared to his manga counterpart, although his facial hair gives him away instead. The Hag in the anime was a member of Ken-oh's Special Transformation Unit, which consisted of himself and a group of thugs dressed like old men.

In Hokuto Musou/Ken's Rage, a bunch of them appear in Jagi's story, and are apparently actually female - they fall in love with him. one of the extra challenges pays lip service to the original, however, by having a Giant Hag who is clearly a man in disguise (including the voice), and ambushes the player.
