Kuroki Gensai

==Summary==
Kuroki Gensai, also known as The Devil Lance, is a renowned assassin in the criminal underworld and the affiliated fighter for Motorhead Motors in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament. Generally stern and taciturn, Kuroki doesn't make idle chatter and only speaks when necessary, avoiding being wasteful with his words and his time. Despite adamantly refusing to accept apprentices, he seems to be a natural teacher and tends to teach by example in the middle of combat, even though he himself denies this.

Kiryu broke some bones in his ribs and two of his fingers with his attacks, Rei also bent two fingers and Agito smashed Kuroki's right hand with his Dragon Shot but Kuroki was barely fazed by said attacks and kept fighting)
Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level (Defeated Nakata Ichiro, Kiryu Setsuna, Mikazuchi Rei, Kanoh Agito and Tokita Ohma. Tied with Rolón Donaire in the past when they were both younger. Though not as strong as Wakatsuki Takeshi or as fast as Gaolang Wongsawat, his strikes are more powerful than either of theirs because, after decades of perfecting his techniques, he can not only land blows before opponents can properly react or defend themselves, but the impact of his strikes pass through the peritoneum to directly damage the organs)

Durability: Multi-City Block level (Took hits from both Advance Ohma and Agito. Took Ohma's Advance X Demonsbane and only suffered a crushed arm)
Stamina: Very high. He trains Kaiwan Style for extremely long amount of time, continuously training his hands and feet even they are damaged or shredded and continue to every single joints in his body. Was able to fight against Ohma right after his bloody fight against Agito.
Range: Standard Melee Range
Standard Equipment: None Notable
Intelligence: Genius when it comes to combat. A master of the Kaiwan Style, Kuroki Gensai is an extremely powerful unarmed combatant, having defeated many renowned and powerful opponents. The High Priest of the Daisen Temple remarked that Kuroki was the avatar of a Wisdom King, adding that he had never seen anyone as powerful and skilled as him in his 105 years of life. Through a combination of his training, his experiences from his lifetime of fighting and assassinations and his overwhelming skill, Kuroki is easily one of the strongest fighters introduced in the series. As a component of the Kaiwan Style, Kuroki is able to use karate to a masterful level, with Himuro saying he had never seen anyone use karate so perfectly. The combination of his excellent martial arts prowess and his masterful predictive capabilities give Kuroki almost impregnable flawless defensive abilities. Kuroki is also noted to be able to perform the impossible, such as when he reset his dislocated elbow using centrifugal force. He is a man who has reached the pinnacle of martial arts and put it into practice, "using the right technique, at the right moment".
Weaknesses: He will pull his punches on those he deems weak, unless he also deems them despicable enough to deserve death.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Kaiwan Style: This martial art is an assassination style that originated in the Ryukyu Kingdom; it is a style that combines the traits of Okinawan karate, traditional Ryukyuan martial arts and Chinese wushu. The Kaiwan Style places high emphasis on partial training, kata training, research of meridians, acupuncture points and qigong, the cultivation of life energy through breathing exercises and meditation.
**Devil Lance: Kuroki's signature move, a nukite or "spear-hand". Kuroki's training has made his fingers abnormally sturdy and tough enough to easily punch right through solid steel and human flesh with this technique, hence most fighters considering it a one-hit kill move. Kuroki can even use the Devil Lance with his thumb or toes, doing so against Kanoh Agito and Tokita Ohma, respectively.
**Motionless: The Kaiwan Style's name for "Foresight". Having mastered Motionless, Kuroki is a master of prediction, namely "pre-initiative", the ability to read the opponents' intents and strike before they move. Kaneda Suekichi, another fighter in the Kengan Annihilation Tournament whose fighting style revolves around analysis and prediction, regards him as having reached the "pinnacle" of Foresight.
**Sanchin: A defensive kata with origins in Ryukyuan karate, it is said to be the simplest yet the ultimate kata, allowing Kuroki to shake off attacks, though a fellow master of "pre-initiative" like Kanoh Agito was able to weather it down and force him to change tactics.
**Straight Punch, Six Strikes: A simple yet effective technique consisting of six straight punches, typically used by Kuroki to bring fights with powerful opponents, like Kanoh Agito and Tokita Ohma, to a close.
**Bone Binding-like technique: Kuroki can use a technique that is nigh-identical to the Niko Style's Bone Binding, allowing him to adequately control his right hand and fingers despite them being completely broken.
