A fighter that originally worked for Clyde, in the casino in Episode 13.  He became friends with Akira after Akira beat him in a fight (Clyde forced Akira to fight before he let the gang go). Scary-looking, but a good guy at heart (lijaka).

Legends speak of a great constellation of stars, only visible to those who possess true strength. Having lost his ability to see those stars, Akira walks the earth in search of answers. His quest pits him against powerful fighters like the Koenkan and the mysterious Kage Maru, and lands him in the center of an international conspiracy. For the first time on DVD, come the adventures of Akira, Jacky, Sara and Pai. Facing off with the greatest martial artists from all over the world, all the top characters from the best-selling video game are ready for action!
