Zuikou is a bald, muscular older man who formerly served as the master of the dojo where Ukon trained. When his disciple turned to the Dark Side, he was so consumed by guilt that he became a Buddhist monk. First seen collecting alms on the street, he offers the trio free room and board in exchange for help cleaning the temple. Jin becomes suspicious of his fast reflexes, and he admits to his warrior past. He tells them Shouryuu's story and explains the nature of the fatal technique to Mugen.
Spoiler
Engaged in prayer throughout the final fight, his rosary breaks when Shouryuu is killed. He softly repeats his student's name in memorial.
