Retsu Kaioh

==Summary==
Retsu Kaioh (烈 海王, Retsu Kaiō; Liè Hǎiwáng) is a master martial artist, who specializes in Chinese Kenpo, much like his masters Ryu and Kaku Kaioh. He was a major participant in the Underground Tournament and was one of Baki's opponents. While he gave Baki a hard time, he ultimately lost the fight. Ever since the first part of the franchise, Retsu has been striving to become more and more powerful, even practicing non-Chinese martial arts. Later, he thrived as China's second strongest, right after Kaku, until his death at the hands of Musashi Miyamoto.
