====Jagi====
[[Image:Jagi.jpg|left|thumb|Hell of a first impression there.]]
Third of the Hokuto Brothers, Jagi was a bad student and skipped out on class occasionally to be a biker, and went into a deep melancholy after some dickheads killed his girlfriend. Needless to say he lost the successorship and was kind of pissed about this, confronting Kenshiro and challenging him. Ken kicked his ass, so Jagi brought a shotgun to a fistfight, and Kenshiro kicked his ass even harder, nearly causing his head to almost explode but Ken relented from delivering the killing blow to allow his head to explode in a shower of gore due to him being unable to kill his brother at the time. [[Ghazghkull Mag Uruk Thraka|This did however, leave Jagi with a giant growth on his head where his brain was suppose to explode from, which he only managed to partially fix with some crude medical implements.]]

The strange thing about this is that, in a way, this was very avoidable.  There is a spinoff manga of questionable canon about Jagi which explained that he chose to practice Hokuto Shinken despite his master insisting that he'd probably die.  Even worse is that he had a love interest in the form of a girl named Ana who managed to actually care for the bastard, who then gets raped and killed, and (thanks to some utterly terrible timing on his behalf) decides to blame Kenshiro for it rather than let him explain it. 

The canon scenario, however, which explains his dislike of Kenshiro and his being one of the Hokuto Brothers, comes from a little known official work that was also used for his backstory scenarion in ''Ken's Rage 2''. Jagi was originally taken in by Ryuken specifically because he had so little; it was Ryuken's hope that, given Jagi's relatively gentle heart and being an underdog himself, he would develop the proper mind-set and become a truly great master of Hokuto Shin Ken. However, in his training, Jagi was ever the last placer - weaker than his brothers, less-able to use the techniques they could manage. He was incredibly clever, and was more willing to fight dirty or even use weapons than they were, but this was seen as weakness by Ryuken. 

He did fairly well in training against the Nanto, and Ryuken praised his skill therefor, but by this point Jagi's heart had grown cold and he had learned to resent his brothers. Realizing that Ken was ''going'' to be the successor, and unwilling to have his fists sealed, and likewise unwilling to have his memories erased, Jagi tried to rally Toki and Raoh over this, but failed to move them with his pleas, leaving him to do the only thing he knew how to do when Kenshiro was named successor - he threatened him at gunpoint. This had predictable results and Jagi left the Hokuto Renkitōza - their training ground - and left to nurse his resentment, now having to wear a mask to hide his hideous visage. He would have been content to live as a bandit at the edge of civilization, but he was spurred into taking his revenge upon Kenshiro by Juda, who convinced Jagi to impersonate him. Jagi did so, disguising himself by scarring himself in a fashion similar to how Shin scarred Kenshiro, and then went around and committing rape, murder, and arson. Suffice to say, Kenshiro tracks him down and fucks his shit up. 

He does, however, have a badass intro and one of the most iconic lines of the entire anime: 

''"SAY MY NAME!!(Ore-no Na-o itte miro!!)"''

It's worth noting that whilst Jagi is a monstrous dick in all works he shows in, he was essentially manipulated into much of it by Juda, and a constant undercurrent of regret seems to underpin his actions in many of the HNK works. A rather interesting scenario is explored in his Dream Mode scenario in ''Ken's Rage,'' wherein he, along with friend and associate Amiba, set out initially to ruin Ken and Toki's names, respectively, only to inadvertently come to the aid of a village under siege and being hailed as heroes in their own right, beloved by a world for their accomplishments. He even manages to defeat Souther, of all people. At first, he's about to run for his life when the Holy Emperor enters the battlefield, but is driven into a rage when Souther asks him who the hell he is. This feat impresses Toki and even Kenshiro, and they acknowledge that he might still have what it takes to be a master of Hokuto Shin Ken. Jagi, uniquely, is only one of two characters to alter his behavior based on this prophecy, preparing to leave town and lay low to lose Kenshiro in order to make the seer's prophecy a reality - [[Grimdark|only to receive, to his horror, the news that Kenshiro has already arrived at his tower, and that his fate is sealed]].
