Han (Hokuto)

Han (ハン) is the third general of Shura Country. He swears to only follow men with "true ambition", thus leading to his loyal service under Kaioh. His life is constantly targeted by his hateful subordinates, yet Han pays them no heed and kills them without a second thought.

Han encounters Rin soon after Shachi wanted to use her as his hostage. When he realizes he is outmatched by the general, Shachi flees with a warning that "Rin" will spell Han's doom. As the youth had predicted, Kenshiro arrives to the scene. Excited to face the Hokuto Shinken style, Han challenges him to a match.

In the heat of their fight, Han reveals his familiarity with Kenshiro's family and the secret of his birth to him. As his opponent drops his guard in shock, Han takes advantage of the opening that is created. His tactic succeeds, but Kenshiro recovers in time to counter Han's blow. On his death throes, Han sneers that Kenshiro will never defeat Hyou and perishes when he falls into a nearby river.
