The five convicts | baki

Sikorsky's Appearance: A tall, blond, light-eyed young Russian man with an athletic build and broad shoulders. His hands and fingers are abnormally developed and calloused due to his extraordinary climbing ability and pinch strength (capable of cutting human skin like knives using only his fingers). Personality: Arrogant, cowardly under pressure, and prejudiced. Sikorsky blindly relies on his physical advantage and the strength of his fingers. He loves to mock traditional warriors and attack them when they are vulnerable, but demonstrates utter despair and cowardice when facing opponents who completely surpass him in brutal tactics or mental strength (such as Gaia and Jack Hanma).
Ryuko Yanagi (The Poisoner) Appearance: The shortest and thinnest of the five condemned, Yanagi has the appearance of an ordinary middle-aged Japanese man, with short black hair. His most striking physical features are his wide, lifeless eyes and bizarre, calloused hands, the result of training in vacuum and poison techniques. Personality: Cold, calculating, cruel, and extremely stubborn. Known as the master of the "Way of Emptiness" style, he sees combat strictly as a tool for assassination. Yanagi is incapable of accepting defeat with dignity; he possesses an intellectual arrogance that makes him believe that no one can defeat him unless he himself verbally admits defeat, which leads him to a tragic end.

The Underground Arena: Located six floors below the Tokyo Dome, it's the franchise's most famous setting. Managed by Mitsunari Tokugawa, it has only two rules: no weapons and no time limit.

Arizona State Prison (Black Penthouse): A maximum-security prison in the US where inmates have freedom as long as they don't outperform Biscuit Oliva. Baki intentionally infiltrates it to fight him.

Bailin Temple (China): A sacred and traditional martial arts setting where the legendary Raitai Tournament takes place, bringing together the greatest masters of Chinese martial arts.

The Hanma House: The simple residence where Baki lives and trains. It's the backdrop for bizarre imagination training sessions and where the historic dinner brawl with his father, Yujiro Hanma, begins.

The Streets of Tokyo: During the prisoners' saga, the settings shift to public parks, playgrounds, police stations, and dark alleys, as urban combat had no defined rules or arena.

Yanagi (Ryuko Yanagi): A master of the "Way of the Void" style, famous for using poison and deadly techniques such as the air palm.

Sikorsky: A Russian who specialized in scaling walls using only his fingertips and slashing strikes.

Iron Michael Doyle (Hector Doyle): A cybernetic assassin with weapons hidden throughout his body.

Spec: A gigantic man of absurd strength and brutal fighting methods in a maximum security prison.

Dorian: A former American soldier and martial arts master who used dirty tricks and explosives.
