Hokuto no Ken is an iconic action manga created by Buronson (story) and Hara Tetsuo (art).

Serialized in “Weekly Shounen Jump” from 1983 to 1988, Hokuto no Ken captivated readers with its overwhelming artistic prowess, gritty world-building, and striking character designs. The sight of protagonist Kenshiro, embodying the ultimate assassination art known as Hokuto Shinken, vanquishing evil, firmly grasped the hearts of its audience. Beginning with its TV anime adaptation in 1984, the series has since expanded into various media, continuing to be cherished by fans both in Japan and internationally. With over 100 million copies in circulation, Hokuto no Ken undeniably stands as a monumental work in the history of action manga.
