- Zarqa (ザルカ Zaruka)
- The Captain of Ken-Oh's Royal Guard. He appears with Qasim after the death of Warden Uighur to thwart Kenshiro from meeting the imprisoned Toki. In order to repay their debt to Kenshiro for liberating Cassandra, Raiga and Fuga rush ahead to release Toki. However, they are caught in a booby trap set by Zarqa and Qasim, who torture the two rebels to death but are unable to stop them creating a path for Kenshiro.
- Initially, Zarqa tries to kill Kenshiro in hiding but his shurikens are easily caught. After giving his location away, he attempts his Shuchō Shokei Tōjutsu (首長処刑刀術, Shiek Execution Fencing) style, which involves approaching the enemy while spinning an Arabian-style scimitar. Kenshiro defeats him with a single kick and stabs him in the head with his own blade to silence him.
TV Series
- In the anime, it is an original character, Burg, who kills Raiga and Fuga, instead of Zarqa and Qasim.
Trivia
- Avu from the Konami fighting game Martial Champion appears to be based off of Zarqa in stature and weapon choice, although his facial features more resemble Qasim's.
