Masami Kikuchi

Yuujirou Hanma

Pendukung

Male

The father of Baki and Jack Hanma. He is the strongest creature in the world, and is known to have mastered all styles of unarmed combat. His repertoire apparently includes all of the well-known fighting styles (such as karate, boxing, taekwondo, judo, jujutsu, wrestling, street-fighting, and so on) as well as some more esoteric ones (such as the udonde or uzunde style, an actual system used in the Motobu style of karate). He has been fighting on the battlefields, using only his bare hands, since the age of sixteen, when he fought against both American and Vietcong in the Vietnam War. Since then, it appears that he has obtained respect from the American forces, and has begun fighting as a kind of mercenary for them. It is said that when he stopped fighting for survival but for pleasure the image of the demon's face appeared on his back.

He eventually fights the escaped American convict Dorian in the 'Search of our Strongest Hero' manga series. Dorian manages to cut off Doppo's hand with a strange wire-cutting technique in which he uses a wire blade projected from a lighter. Doppo later avenges this loss when he, Katsumi, and Retsu track Dorian down.

After recovering from that, he is struck in the throat by Jack Hammer and knocked out. He's last shown (still injured), riding with his gang. Shiba makes a surprise return in the Son of Ogre series. At the request of Hanayama Kaoru, Shiba is to be Baki's training partner for the upcoming fight with Yujiro. Kaoru says Shiba must be Baki's partner because Shiba is weak.

Sachiko Kojima

Andreas Regan

Pendukung

A man of immense size, he is over 8 feet tall and weighs over 600 pounds. He is easily the biggest man in the tournament, second only to Andre Andov Garrand, and makes Mount Toba look small. He fights using professional wrestling and loses to Baki in round 1. According to Toba, just one small strike from Regan can knock a person out, and because of it many wrestling promoters got angry at him for ending matches quickly. Baki convinces him to use all of his might which surprises him because no one has ever asked him to use all his power. Andreas Regan is based on pro wrestling legend André René Roussimoff, also known as Andre the Giant. During the credits in the anime's second to last episode, he is seen sleeping during the flight back home.

Oliva Biscuit

Pendukung

An assassin working for the US. He possesses an iron body and is almost invulnerable to anything. He and Yujiro crossed paths while he was sent to assassinate a drug cartel leader. He also has one bizarre technique in which he curls into a perfect sphere of muscle in which he is impervious to attacks, but can uncurl and seize his opponents, 'eating' them "like Pac-Man". He then crushes them with his muscles. His appearance and name are based on former Mr. Universe and three-time Mr. Olympia Sergio Oliva.

Yuusaku Yara

Gouki Shibukawa

Pendukung

Male

Master of the ancient jujutsu arts used by the samurai soldier-warriors of feudal Japan. Is just over seventy years of age, and has trained since prior to World War II, in the "old days" of the martial arts. His art makes use of the martial arts principle of aiki, which uses the opponents' attacks against him. Manages to make it all the way through to semi-finals in the Maximum Tournament series and battles against Jack Hanma. In his third match with Doppo, Goki is shown to act in an insane manner while fighting. He also states that he's killed many people. He later teams up with Baki to face the Japanese convict Yanagi Ryukou in the 'Search of Our Strongest Hero' series. He also has a friendly sparring match with Biscuit Oliva and another match with Mohammad Ali Jr. In the Maximum Tournament, he faces Roger Harlon in round 1, and Shinogi Koushou in round 2 before facing Doppo in round 3 and losing to Jack Hammer in round 4. When not fighting, he's quite eccentric (as well as a bit senile) as he lives the day and fears nothing. Although in the series Goki is said to be a master of the old style of jujutsu, and when he fights Doppo it is said that he represents Jujitsu, most Goki's techniques looks like Aikido, and even Goki himself resembles the Aikido Master Gozo Shioda, founder of the Yoshinkan Aikido.

Hiroshi Naka

Mitsunari Tokugawa

Pendukung

Male

The tournament runner and owner of the underground arena. He is an old man of very small stature, possibly even being a dwarf. While not a fighter himself, he is very knowledgeable about the martial arts and can easily point out several fighting techniques, regardless of whether they are obscure or well-known. He has the final say in each and every one of the battles that take place in his arena. While he usually prefers to keep every fight in order, he will sometimes bend the rules if it means amplifying the fight in some way, even going so far as to threaten one of his own doctors with a knife when they tried to stop the fight between Baki and Jack. He is close personal friends with Doppo and Igari, as well as acquaintances (though not exactly friendly) with Yujiro. He is one of the few people to ever outsmart Yujiro. When Yujiro attempted to upset the balance of his tournament, he had his snipers, who he had secretly stationed around the arena, to shoot him with enough tranquilizer to put down a blue whale. This gives him the very rare achievement of being the only person who has ever knocked Yujiro unconscious. While it is unknown if Tokugawa was once a fighter himself in his early days, his odd antics and physical appearance make him more likely to be nothing more than an eccentric billionaire who prefers to watch fights instead of participating in them. His namesake is clearly based on Ieyasu Tokugawa and Mitsunari Ishida, the opposing commanders at the Battle of Sekigahara. (Source: Wikipedia)

Kaiou Retsu

Kunihiko Yasui

Izo Motobe

Pendukung

Male

Motobe Izo is an old Japanese Jujitsu master. He is a calm and pretty gloomy person, who rarely shows any excitement. At one time, he seemed to have more of an obsession with defeating Yujiro Hanma than most martial artists, but he has never shown to be a match for him.
