- Nanto Jūnin Kumite (南斗十人組手, South Dipper Ten Man Tournament)
- A tournament held by the Nanto school where the challenger must defeat a series of ten Nanto fighters. If challengers from another school fail to complete the trial, they are punished with death.
- Raoh entered a young Kenshiro into the tournament in order to assess his potential, while Souther, the successor to Nanto Ho-oh Ken, supervised it. Shu was Kenshiro's last opponent, and managed to defeat the boy. Despite Souther's order for Kenshiro to die as a result of his loss, Shu refused, blinding himself and sacrificing his vision instead.
- In the Yuria Gaiden spinoff, Shin completes the Nanto Jūnin Kumite before the Nanto Bishop in order to become the official successor of Nanto Koshū Ken.
