Sougetsu is Kensei Ma's older brother and Renka Ma's uncle. He is a giant bearded fighter, who people often fear and run away from. He spent most of his life training alone and feels that strength is the only thing to live for, leading him to lose the heart of a martial artist. He becomes very jealous of Kensei's popularity with people. Twenty years ago he killed a few people which forced him to depart from China, where he was considered one of the strongest fighters. It is revealed though that he did not actually leave China for killing those people, but because he had nowhere to go. He also, unknowingly, took in Hermit as a disciple, feeling he had the same eyes as him and trained him to eliminate the weak. In the manga he was fully aware that he trained Tanimoto. Also in the manga he work for the mafia group that was targeting his uncle Ryou Ma were as in the anime the said mafia group was targeting him for beating down some of their members. Another big difference from the manga and anime is that he was more than willing to protect the group until the leader insulted him by saying that he was worse then them for not caring about his family, after which he beat down the leader this coupled with the that in both the anime and manga he was ready to die in the fire by saying that its "the way a murderer should die" impiles that he might have a sense of guilt for the killing and he still might care about his family in some way.



    Even though there is animosity between both him and Kensei, their brotherly love shows in many ways; during Hermit's training, he constantly shouted out admiration towards his brother while drunk. When he is later defeated by Kensei, Sougetsu begins to finally show a little sympathy. After the battle and Kenichi's failed attempt to help him, he is left for dead by Kensei feeling that he will eventually kill himself and should die as a martial artist. Sougetsu's body was not found and is still considered alive.



    In the second arc of the manga, a shadow which resembles Sougetsu is shown; Kensei Ma merely states that in the island of "D of D" there is a familiar aura of a person he knew. In chapter 228, it is revealed that Sougetsu is still alive. He was aparantley hired by Fortuna to along with many other masters to defend the tournament but once Fortunas check clears he betrays him and beats down the other masters leaving Tanimoto to finish Fortuna off. It is also revealed that Tanimoto payed Sougetsu with 34 cases of rare wine plus 2 extra bottles. A brief look into his training method is that he teaches Tanimoto while they are both in combat. This seems to be the only way that Tanimoto could learn his new technique that caused the defeat of Fortuna, whom was also a Master Class fighter. Since it fits well with his personality, it may be the main method of his training. When together, it would seem that Tanimoto and Sougetsu's personalities fit perfectly together, as they are both negative persons and use banter to refer to one another. His nickname is the Kengou Kishin. 

 


Its is revealed in chapter 352, that Ma Sougetsu is member of Yami, his title is Fierce Fist God.
