Souther

サウザー

"Holy Emperor" Souther is the sole master of Nanto Houou Ken (South Star Phoenix Style), the most powerful variation of Nanto Seiken. Consequently, he stands as one of the strongest fighters in all of Hokuto no Ken.
Like other Nanto Seiken styles, Nanto Houou Ken is defined by sharp slicing movements intended to damage the external body. However, unlike the others, it lacks rigid stances or movements, with one exception. When facing a worthy opponent, Souther unleashes his ultimate technique, Nanto Houou Ken Ougi: Tenshou Juuji Hou (South Star Phoenix Fist Ultimate Technique: Soaring Cross Phoenix).
Since only one Nanto Houou Ken master can exist at any given time, Souther was compelled to kill his mentor and beloved foster father. This left him bitter and angry, leading him to declare that he has forever rejected the concept of love. He constructs the Holy Cross Pyramid using child slave labor as a monument to his father. Upon its completion, he intends to bury his emotions forever.
"I am the Holy Emperor Souther, Emperor of the Six Sacred Fists of the South Star! No retreat! No mercy! No hesitation!"
