Kuroyasha, known as Black Yaksha, was a dark-skinned, dwarfish man with white hair and violet eyes who served the Hokuto Sōke clan loyally. Rated AA in combat evaluations, he possessed significant abilities, excelling in speed and skill. His connection to the Hokuto lineage began when Kenshiro was an infant; even then, Kuroyasha sensed an aura of love and friendship emanating from the child. As a devoted Hokuto Sōke protector, Kuroyasha employed the Hokuto Ryūken (Hokuto Soke no Ken) fighting style, primarily wielding iron claws during aerial attacks. His combat prowess was formidable, assessed as surpassing fighters like Jukei in strength. His narrative concluded during a conflict involving Hyoh of the Hokuto Ryuken lineage. Kuroyasha fought alongside Hyoh against Kaioh's elite forces. He sustained fatal injuries in this battle and ultimately succumbed to them, ending his dedicated service. Some analyses note his distinct appearance may draw inspiration from characters like Mola Ram from *Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom*.
