“Fist of the North Star-”

(C) Takeronson, Tetsuo Hara / Core Mix, “Fist of the North Star” Production Committee

The legendary action manga “Fist of the North Star” was created by the original, Takeronson, and the manga Tetsuo Hara. This work, which started serialization in “Weekly Shonen Jump” in 1983, is a world view and character business drawn with overwhelming drawing power. The way of life of the main character, Kenshiro, who defeats evil with the ultimate assassination fist “Hokuto Shinken”, has grabbed the reader’s heart.

Starting with the TV animation in 1984, “Fist of the North Star” continues to be loved by fans both in Japan and overseas through various media mixes. The cumulative number of copies has exceeded 100 million copies, making it a worthy presence to be called the “monumental work of action manga.”

And, 2026.
“Fist of the North Star – Fist of the North Star-” will be fully animated with the new staff and cast and the latest video technology. The battles of the men who live at the end of the century will engrave a new legend in the Reiwa era!

[Introduction]
In 199X, the world was filled with nuclear flames!!
The sea was withered, the earth torn, and all life seemed to be extinct…
But… the humans weren’t dead…!!

On the devastated land of the world, people were desperately trying to live in search of water and food.
But that wish is trampled by violence.
In this world, only power dominates everything, and the weak are overrun.

A man appears in the abyss of despair.
Kenshiro, the successor of the legendary assassination fist “Hokuto Shinken”, who has 7 scars on his chest.
Chasing after his nemesis, Shin, who stole his fiancée’s Yuria, and wandering through the wilderness,
Respond to the cry of the oppressed ones and illuminate the light of hope.

Standing in front of him are the strong people who survived the turbulent times at the end of the century and expose their ambitions and desires.
At the end of the century when looting and slaughtering swirls, Kenshiro carves out a mad world where even people’s prayers can’t be reached!
