Keiraku Hiko
The human body has 708 Keiraku Hikō (経絡秘孔 Meridian Channel Hidden Points, also known as simply Hikō, tsubo or pressure points). These pressure points can destroy a person within. The Hikō can also be used to heal. Hikō are used in the martial arts Seito Gek Ken, Hokuto Shin Ken, Hokuto Sanka Ken and its derivatives such as Gō no Ken, Jū no Ken, Hokumon no Ken and Hokuda Shin Ken. The Hokuto Ryū Ken counterpart is called Keiraku Hakō.
In the anime, when Hikō are struck, electrical sparks emanate from the point of impact.
