Toki (トキ) is one of the candidates for the successor of the Hokuto Shinken style. He is the second eldest brother of the four Hokuto candidates and is Raoh's younger biological brother. His eldest biological brother is Kaioh, who was taught another branch of the Hokuto style in the island continent Shura.

He helped mentor Kenshiro when they were younger and covered the youth from a falling log, leaving a scar on his back. When the war came to its horrifying conclusion, Toki selflessly unjammed the bomb shelter's door when the bombs hit, saving Kenshiro and Yuria. Despite his heroic efforts, he soon was diagnosed with radiation poisoning, having exposed himself to the blast and the hazardous debris.

Though a skilled user of the Hokuto Shinken style, Toki ignores the competition for the Hokuto successor and strives to cure the wounded with his abilities. Soon developing his art of Hokuto Ujoken, he cures an entire village from a dangerous plague in his travels, giving it the name "Village of Miracles".

After his meeting with Amiba, he is held prisoner in the dreaded prison Cassandra, a large prison of innocent martial artists held against their will. Kenshiro, Rei, and Mamiya go to free him although he was merely waiting patiently for his younger brother's arrival.

To satisfy the destiny he accepted as a Hokuto candidate, Toki faces his older brother twice to benefit Kenshiro. As a sadden Raoh spares him from dying from their last fight, he is given the choice to wait for the poisoning to naturally end his life. Staying true to his fate, however, he agrees to die by Ryuga's hand to teach Kenshiro the true meaning of sorrow and unlock his younger brother's true potential. Both he and Ryuga's spirits ascend to the heavens after their passing.

Dream Mode

In Toki's story, he first arrives to a village under Ken-oh's reign and becomes popular by restoring the wounded residents. Realizing that Amiba is terrorizing the people, Raoh and Toki go together to stop him. As they travel deeper within, Ryuga reinforces Toki and saves the villagers from being completely overrun. Ryuga, once learning of Raoh's true intentions to advocate his quest for conquest, agrees to help Toki. Afterwards, he unexpectedly gets involved with the legend existing between the Hokuto and Nanto constellations. Wanting to protect innocent people from Thouzer's tyranny, he assembles his "Hokuto army". Kenshiro, who knows that Toki would struggle, assists him.

During Toki's Dream Mode (as is reflected in other Dream story paths), he is cured of his illness. His hair returns to its black color and he resembles his pre-199X bombing version. However, he still has the blast scar across his back and thus, answers the time old question 'What would Toki look like if he got better?' After completing his Dream Mode, Toki's 'Cured' form is available for use in all other modes as a costume swap.

His hands fire beams of energy downward, gradually rotating Toki as he fires foes below him. He calmly prays for their peaceful death after levitating back to his feet.

Fighting Style

Toki uses more agile and kicking inspired techniques than his brothers, and his attacks allow him to gradually reposition himself while having set but stable areas of effect while they are performed, allowing both a stable mobility and the ability to feasibly attack crowds of enemies at at time. His specialty finishes, Hokuto Ujoken, manifests angelic spotlights above his foes he defeats, stating that they "feel good" before they die. Toki's alternate costume available removes his sickness which causes him to normally crouch and cough after certain heavier combo strings.

Etymology

• The name Toki means "crested ibis" (トキ) in Katakana.
