    Kubaru (クバル)[1] was a member of Jagi's gang who executed villagers who did not pay tribute to his master. Kubaru would bury certain villagers down to their head and then force other villagers to behead them with his saw. Those that did not comply, he killed with his sledgehammer. However, Kubaru met his comeuppance when Kenshirō arrived at his turf and saw his head in half.

    In the 1986 movie, Rei is the one who kills him instead, although the scene plays out identically otherwise. The name Kubaru was given to him in the computer game Hokuto no Ken Online.
