Hyou is the Second Rashou. He is a descendant of the main Hokuto bloodline and Kenshirou's true older brother. After being separated from Ken as a child, his memories were sealed away by Juukei, the scar on his forehead being the result of this. Hyou was favored by Juukei over Kaiou due to his bloodline, but plays a subordinate role to Kaiou in the present.
Unlike Kaiou, Hyou is initially portrayed as a more benevolent ruler until he goes insane and turns evil after Sayaka's death. He returns to his normal self after fighting Ken and regains his lost memories. He rescues Lin from the Warriors of Asura while Ken fights against Kaiou.
