The anime "Fist of the North Star" is based on the mega-hit manga serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from 1983 to 1988, with original story by Buronson and manga by Tetsuo Hara. It tells the story of Kenshiro (CV: Akira Kamiya), the successor of Hokuto Shinken, who bears love and sorrow as he grows into a savior in a world ruled by violence. The series sparked a social phenomenon-level boom with TV anime, theatrical films, and spin-offs featuring supporting characters, and continues to enjoy passionate support to this day.
