Shachi

Shachi (シャチ) is a resident of Shura. When he was fifteen, he was reluctantly abandoned by his father, Akashachi, after an unsuccessful invasion of the island continent. Through sheer willpower to live, he was able to defend himself against the ruthless residents, slowly adjusting to the new land. He eventually met and fell in love with Leia, abandoning his dreams of leaving the island in order to protect her. She encouraged him to learn the values of virtue, leading him to seek tutelage under the local Hokuto teacher, Jukei.

Armed with the fearsome techniques of Hokuto Ryuken, Shachi became feared as "Rasetsu", a demon that devours Shura. His new power gave him a ruthless side that led him to drive Leia away - or so Shachi wanted her to think. In truth, he had intentionally driven Leia away from him in order to spare her the pain of grief should he fall in his quest to bring order to the land. Although Shachi knew of the legend of Raoh, he refused to wait for the distant savior, instead hoping to achieve peace through his own hands.

When he learns of Kenshiro's arrival on the island, Shachi plans on using the successor of Hokuto Shinken to defeat the rival forces on Shura. By doing so, Shachi believes he can reign supreme and provide the grandiose protection he thinks Leia needs. He thinks Kenshiro is nothing but a pawn until he learns that Hyou is Kenshiro's biological brother. Shachi feels that protecting family ties is more precious than life, risking his life to save Kenshiro on more than one occasion. He prevents the brothers from fighting from one another throughout the story, and he is the one to reveal the truth to Kenshiro.

After Hyou recovers his memories, Shachi and Leia swear to protect the temple housing the secret technique of the Hokuto ancestors. Kaioh ambushes them and Shachi exerts himself to guard Leia and the secret technique. Though he fights bravely, he is mortally wounded by Kaioh. Shachi's courage revives the spirits of the noble Hokuto founders, and the ghosts' enmity frightens Kaioh away from the temple. Proud to have saved those precious to him, Shachi succumbs to his injuries soon after.
