The Guardian of the River is a large sentient bear in the service of the True Master, a reclusive martial arts instructor. The bear appears near a river with no bridge. He initiates the first in three tests for those that seek out the True Master. The bear questions the student's resolve and appears to test his or her strength mostly with judo wrestling.

In recent times, Robin defeated the bear by tossing him into the river. The bear then activated a hidden switch that revealed a bridge and allowed him to pass to the next test. It during this test that the student is taught the fundamentals of the Claws of Iron Bear technique. After Katarou was defeated, the True Master summoned Bear and Monkey to properly dispose of him.
