Story[]
Garou: Mark of the Wolves[]
Hokutomaru is the only pupil of Andy Bogard, who has lived most of his life in remote mountains. Andy retired from the fighting scene to teach Hokutomaru. When Hokutomaru was about to complete his training, Andy sent him to Second Southtown so he could enter the "King of Fighters: Maximum Mayhem" tournament. Hokutomaru failed to win the tournament, but he made his master proud, so Andy sent him a letter saying that he doesn't see Hokutomaru as a student but as a rival.
Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves[]
After the previous tournament, Hokutomaru traded his home in the mountains for the bustling metropolis that is South Town—with Terry's help, that is. Despite having to grapple with the ups and downs that is "life in the city," the fledgling Shiranui fighter spends a great deal of time wondering how to use his abilities to help those around him. With the latest tournament now close at hand, Hokutomaru decides it's the perfect opportunity to see how he has grown.
Powers[]
- Pyrokinesis - Using his ninja powers, Hokutomaru can throw fire tinted kunai and shuriken and envelop his body in fire (he burns himself sometimes). Using exploding devices or maybe his pyrokinetic powers, Hokutomaru can also teleport.
Fighting Style[]
His fighting style is considered by some an amalgam of Andy and Mai's fighting styles. He uses Andy's Kuhadan and Mai Shiranui's weapon throwing. He is quick and unpredictable, having some of the fastest attacks in the game.
Personality[]
Hokutomaru is a boy who grew up in nature; his best friends are the mountain monkeys near his training grounds. He knows nothing of the civilized world, being excited and confused by life in a big city. He is a brash kid who doesn't like to be treated as a child. He's very noisy and often acts before thinking, but he has a strong will. Though he is obedient to his master and admires Andy, Hokutomaru clashes with his "big sister" Mai.
In City of the Wolves, Hokutomaru wonders how he can best use his skills to help those around him, as he's grown quite fond of Southtown and intends to help out everybody as best he can.
