WHY COLLECTORS LOVE THIS FIGURE
A Master of 4,000 Years of Chinese Martial Arts
Retsu Kaioh is one of the most accomplished martial artists in the Baki universe.
A practitioner of Chinese Kenpo, Retsu possesses an extraordinary understanding of traditional fighting techniques, combining devastating strikes, precise movements and exceptional physical conditioning.
His title of Kaioh reflects his elite standing among Chinese martial artists, a distinction reserved for exceptionally skilled practitioners.
Throughout the series, Retsu demonstrates that martial arts are not simply about overwhelming physical strength.
They are about discipline, knowledge, technique and the ability to overcome opponents through mastery of the human body.
This Ichibansho figure captures that philosophy through a carefully balanced fighting stance that emphasises control, precision and confidence.
A Warrior Who Refuses to Surrender
One of Retsu Kaioh's defining characteristics is his extraordinary determination.
During his confrontation with the prehistoric warrior Pickle, Retsu suffers a devastating injury that results in the loss of his right leg.
For many fighters, such an injury would mark the end of their martial arts journey.
But Retsu refuses to abandon his passion.
His determination to continue fighting, even after such a life-changing injury, demonstrates the incredible strength of his character.
This figure pays tribute to that chapter of his story, featuring his distinctive prosthetic leg alongside his powerful martial arts stance.
It's a meaningful detail that makes this collectible particularly special for fans who have followed Retsu's journey.
A Fighting Stance Built on Precision
Unlike figures that rely purely on dramatic attacks or exaggerated effects, this Masterlise collectible focuses on the technical elegance of Chinese martial arts.
Retsu balances confidently on his supporting leg, with his prosthetic leg raised and his upper body positioned for combat.
One arm extends forward while the other remains ready to respond, creating an impression of concentration and controlled movement.
His intense facial expression reinforces the sense that he is carefully assessing an opponent.
The result is a pose that reflects Retsu's identity as a disciplined martial artist rather than simply a powerful fighter.
Outstanding Muscular and Clothing Detail
The sculpting is one of the most impressive aspects of this figure.
Retsu's broad shoulders, defined chest, powerful arms and abdominal muscles are recreated with considerable attention to detail.
The carefully sculpted anatomy highlights the physical conditioning required to master his extraordinary fighting techniques.
His traditional dark trousers provide a strong visual contrast to his exposed upper body, with realistic folds and creases adding depth to the design.
The coloured waistband, traditional hairstyle and prosthetic leg complete an instantly recognisable representation of the character.
For collectors who appreciate detailed character sculpting, this figure offers plenty to admire from multiple viewing angles.
A Respected Rival and Ally
Throughout the Baki franchise, Retsu Kaioh develops fascinating relationships with many of the series' strongest characters.
Although initially introduced as a formidable opponent, he becomes a respected figure whose dedication to martial arts earns the admiration of fellow fighters.
His encounters with Baki Hanma, Pickle and other legendary warriors demonstrate both his remarkable abilities and his willingness to confront challenges that seem impossible to overcome.
Despite his pride in Chinese martial arts, Retsu continually seeks to test and develop his skills.
This combination of tradition, determination and personal growth makes him one of the most memorable characters in the series.
An Essential Addition to Your Baki Collection
The Ichibansho Masterlise range is especially appealing to collectors who appreciate substantial figures with detailed sculpting and strong character likenesses.
Standing approximately 25cm tall, Retsu Kaioh makes an impressive addition to any anime display.
Position him alongside Baki Hanma, Pickle, Katsumi Orochi or Musashi Miyamoto to create an incredible line-up of fighters from the Baki universe.
Whether you're a dedicated fan of Retsu Kaioh or building a collection of legendary martial artists, this figure is a fantastic tribute to one of the series' most respected warriors.
