A terrifying new foe has joined the ranks of Fist of the North Star: Hokuto no Ken! The latest adaptation of the classic manga is introducing Mad Sarge, as voiced by Jiro Saito.

Mad Sarge is the fearsome drill instructor of the Golan (also known as the Provident in some translations) and wields terrifying knife skills — like the ability to stab a person ten times in a second. Saito's other (less bloodthirsty) roles include Gong Sun Long in Kingdom and Denken in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End

You can see the character side-by-side with Saito above.
