Fang Clan

The Fang Clan (牙一族) refers to the muscled gang that terrorize Mamiya's village. The members of the gang treat one another as though they were family, calling their fellow member "brother". Their leader is their "father", the Fang King (牙大王). He is the tallest of the gang and addresses his followers as his sons. They are likely not blood kin with one another, however, as the king is more than willing to sacrifice his "sons" for his own safety.

When Kenshiro, Rei, and Mamiya confront them, the king is in possession of Rei's younger sister, Irie. Mamiya attempts to use trickery to save her by targeting the king, but her attempt fails. Holding both women hostage, he orders Rei and Kenshiro to fight to the death for their safety.

Fighting Style
The Fang Clan always attack as a pack and howl like a pack of wild wolves. The fang brothers are armed with dual claws and other weapons to surround their foes. They often try to stick together to support their fellow "brothers". While they aren't too impressive by themselves, they synchronize their attacks and make them hard to beat as a group.

The Fang King's special ability hardens his skin as though it were steel and dulls the damage from normal blows. When he uses this technique, his skin turns a dull blueish tint. He can't completely protect his internal organs or pressure points from damage.
