- Dante (ダンテ)
- A character who only appears in the TV series. A biker gang leader who learned Nanto Seiken with Shin. His style is Nanto Hyakuzan Ken ("South Dipper Hundred Slash Fist"), which focuses on slashing techniques and the use of boomerangs. He has a tendency of kissing his victims after killing them.
TV Series[edit | edit source]
- He blackmails his former partner-in-crime, Duran, into trying to kill Kenshiro by dropping him into a volcano. However, Duran fails and Dante's men take Kanna hostage as leverage against Kenshiro. Duran intervenes to save her only to be murdered as a traitor. An enraged Kenshiro destroys Dante's gang and defeats Dante using the Hyakuretsu Ken, striking the Gusoku (具足) vital point to make him walk helplessly into the lava.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- His design is loosely based on Glenn Hughes of the Village People.
- Dante's mustache, build and hand-gesture when attacking may be references to former professional wrestler Stan Hansen.
