Geira (ゲイラ)

A fat boss of a head hunting agency, he hires Ein to capture Kenshiro, but instead, Kenshiro appears in front of his headquarters. So lazy that he wishes he didn't even have to breathe. Attempts to hypnotize Kenshiro by using two pendants and bad breath but is unable to, being struck by Ganzan Ryozan Ha. He killed by stopped his breathing with the pressure point Zenha.

Appearance

Geira is an incredibly overweight, bald man who has a wide mouth, a double chin, and a flabby body. He goes completely shirtless, wears a plus-shaped collar on his neck, golden wrist bands, puffy pants, and genie-like shoes.

In the anime, his appearance was slightly changed, as he now has a full head of teal-blue hair, and now also wears a bow tie as well.

Personality

Geira is an incredibly lazy man, on top of being a lecherous and hedonistic pervert as well. He is in fact so lazy, that even the concept of breathing enrages him.

TV Series

In the anime, his appearance was altered to not look like Jabba the Hutt, making him more similar to Danny De Vito. He was also given hair.

Video games

The Manga version of Geira, although unnamed, is also used for Sega Genesis video-game of Hokuto no Ken 2. There is an anime style illustration of his manga design in the manual. In the western port Last Battle, his skin is pale green, his blood is blue and he is called "the butcher."

Shin Hokuto Muso features an unnamed generic general with Geira's dialogue and scenes. Though he refers to hypnotism, the generic version of Geira fights with a weaker version of Kenpo Goroshi like the other fat generals.

Trivia

His appearance, lecherous personality, tendency to snack on bugs, and his role as an antagonist who relies on bounty hunters are all a reference towards the Star Wars character Jabba the Hutt.
His death by asphyxiation, then bodily self destruction is an example of the countless times that Kenshiro has doled out an ironic punishment to an enemy, as Geira states he finds even breathing to be too much of an effort.
