==Biography==
===Early Life/Juza Gaiden===
Prior to the main story of Fist of the North Star, Juza never knew his real father and his mother died when he was very young. He was raised by the madam of a brothel until Rihaku came looking for a boy with a star birthmark in order to become a Nanto Goshasei member. Juza would leave the training grounds because no one of the other members could match his strength and because he did not wish to fight for a General he doesn't know. After getting food poisoning in the forest Juza was brought back in a weakened state. Bedridden, Juza would meet Yuria for the first time and open up emotionally. Years later after the nuclear war, Hyui and Shuren, Juza's fellow Goshasei members, track down him to a local brothel and have a duel hoping to convince Juza to return and fight for the Last Nanto General. Overpowered once again they follow him on his journey for a short time. During the journey, Juza reminisce on his younger days. Flashbacking to the day he found out Yuria was actually his sister and he couldn't marry her Juza went berserk at Nanto Gosha Sei HQ and injures a great amount of people during his rampage. After being subdued, he was thrown into prison where he fell into depression however this is cut short as he broken out by a white haired man who revels himself to be his older brother, Ryuga.
Back to the present, Juza encounters his brother once again but is shocked as he learns that Ryuga has forsaken his 'lone wolf' spirit and chosen to follow Raoh/Ken-Oh as a General in his destructive attempt to conquered the wastelands. As things quickly turn sour an enraged Juza and Ryuga battle each other which ends in a stalemate wit Ryuga proclaiming that their next meeting will end in one of them dying. After the battle, both Hyui and Shuren leave, entrusting destiny to hopefully persuade Juza to carry out his destiny. Juza continues his wanderings and eventually stumbles across a village, and is surprised and subdued by Mamiya who is followed by Airi. Later after being told of the events Rei's death and the aftermath Juza recalls his old friendship with the Suichoken practitioner and brings up Kenshiro's inability to protect Yuria, whic earns him a slap from Mamiya, who, Airi explains, was grieved by Rei's death and associated it with his inability to protect her. This causes Juza to let go of his grudge against Kenshiro.
===Toki Gaiden===
===Fist of the North Star===
During their childhood days, Juza often played with Yuria and occasionally teased Raoh and Toki during their training. As they matured into adulthood, he eventually fell in love with Yuria but was shocked to learn that she is his younger half-sister. Renouncing his duties as one of the Nanto Goshasei, he painfully distances himself from her and chooses to live a carefree and somewhat degenerate lifestyle.
When the other Nanto Goshasei fall while trying to prevent Raoh's advancing march, Juza only agrees to fight his old rival when he learns that the Nanto General he is asked to protect is actually Yuria. Swearing to die for her sake, he stalls Raoh as Kenshiro hurries to her. He lasts the longest of the Nanto Goshasei who tried to stop Raoh, even stealing Koukougou and using the blood from his wounds to his advantage. Cursing Raoh until the end, he refuses to reveal the identity of the Nanto General. Even though he dies without telling Raoh, his opponent learns the truth of the Nanto General based on Juza's pure determination to stop him. Impressed by his spirit, both Raoh and Koukougou show courtesy to him and honor his death by giving him a proper burial.
