Gennosuke Higaki

檜垣 源之助

He's Murai's apprentice, but an ambitious fighter who plans to conquer the Japanese martial arts world with his sights set on his daughter Otomi. He's belligerent and will stop at nothing to achieve his goal. He uses his own unique technique, a combination of judo and karate, and fancies himself the only one who can defeat Sanshiro.
