Sho Hyuga

Sho Hyuga (, Hyūga Shō) is a major character in Kurohyou: Ryu ga Gotoku Shinsho. He is a fighter in the underground coliseum Dragon Heat. 
His showboating style garnered him the nickname "the Treasure of Dragon Heat" (, Doragon Hīto no Shihō). He is Tatsuya Ukyo's second and sixth opponent.
==Profile==
=== Appearance ===
Hyuga has blond hair and an extremely muscular body. He uses a different character model each time he is fought, the second one being more muscular than the first.
In the TV serial, he has black hair, a mustache and a permanent 5 o'clock shadow.
=== Attire ===
In his first fight, he wears white shorts and in the second fight, he wears black shorts.
=== Personality ===
Though neither the strongest nor most skilled, Hyuga is a consistent crowd favorite in Dragon Heat thanks to his showmanship. Besides taunting his opponents and playing to the crowd, Hyuga often switches fighting styles between bouts and is not afraid to pull his punches for the sake of giving the audience more excitement or setting up for a flashy finishing move.
Hyuga initially dismisses Tatsuya as his equal, arrogantly promising to defeat him in under thirty seconds. After losing, however, he began to revert to his more ruthless persona, undergoing grueling training leading up to their rematch and gaining a single-minded focus on winning. This was largely due to his sister Chiaki Hyuga being taken hostage.
In the TV serial, his personality is entirely different: he is an arrogant, cruel man with no problems about killing people. He nonetheless cares for Chiaki, who is severely ill.
== Background ==
Hyuga was born on November 1, 1983. He was once part of a legitimate Japanese professional fighting circuit. Despite numerous wins, he was never popular due to his lack of style, which frustrated him immensely. After winning a particular match, Hyuga ignored the referee and continued beating his opponent, leading him to be banned from professional sport and eventually join Dragon Heat.

== Fighting Style ==
=== Hyuga 1 ===
In the first encounter, Hyuga is level 8 (story only), and uses Mixed Martial Arts level 3. It is a unique variant of MMA, not sharing most moves with the playable MMA. His deathblows are Rolling Lariat and Body Sobat.
Hyuga is an extremely weak boss. He hardly attacks, and deals pathetic damage when he does attack, even on the highest difficulty level. He is effectively nothing more than a punching bag, his only actually threatening attacks being his deathblows and his invincible attacks.
His invincible attacks are:
* one right quickstep attack, one left quickstep attack, and a shoulder charge (which leads into N.O.R.E.'s Hard Grapple 6 from Def Jam: Fight for NY, converted to a unique Heat Action), and
* one right quickstep attack, one left quickstep attack, a right back kick, an overhead right roundhouse kick and a delayed low right kick (which leads into "Sky-High Crushing Knee").
=== Hyuga 2 ===
In the second encounter, Hyuga is level 15 (story) and level 40 (Premium Adventure), and uses Wrestling level 5. Despite being called Wrestling, this style does not resemble wrestling at all (save for the grabs), and would be reused in Kurohyou 2 as Pankration. He does not have any deathblows here.
In complete contrast to his first encounter, this Hyuga is one of the hardest bosses in the entire game: his combos are very fast and almost uninterruptible, his grabs are inescapable and he can easily counter all of Tatsuya's attacks (which he does extremely often). It is advised to keep your distance from him and use Heat Actions to finish him off.
His invincible attacks are:
* a low left kick, a low right kick, a right hook, a right back kick, a right elbow strike and a grab (which leads into N.O.R.E.'s leg lock), and
* a low left kick, a low right kick, a right hook, a right back kick, a right elbow strike, a right roundhouse kick, a left roundhouse kick, and Body Sobat (which leads into Sky-High Crushing Knee).
