Raoh

Raoh (ラオウ, Raō) is a fictional character in the manga series Fist of the North Star created by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara. He is the eldest of four honorary brothers (including the protagonist Kenshiro) who trained in the ancient assassination art of Hokuto Shinken. Following his introduction in Chapter 42 of the original manga, Raoh serves as Kenshiro's primary rival and adversary during a great portion of the series, being in the case, the main antagonist of Fist of the North Star, having already taken the mantle of Ken-oh (拳王, Ken'ō; Fist King), a tyrannical warlord that seeks to dominate the post-apocalyptic world. In contrast to Kenshiro's title as the "Savior of Century's End", Raoh is commonly referred as the Supreme Ruler of the Century's End (世紀末覇者, Seikimatsu Hasha) within the story. Following the conclusion of his story arc, Raoh plays a significant role in the remaining chapters of the manga. He would also go on to play a major role in subsequent books and anime adaptations that were published after the original manga and its original anime. He serves as a central character in The Legends of the True Savior movie series and was the protagonist in his own spinoff manga and anime series Legends of the Dark King.
