The anime "Fist of the North Star" is based on the mega-hit manga that was serialized in "Weekly Shonen Jump" from 1983 to 1988, with the original story by Buronson and manga by Tetsuo Hara. It's a story about Kenshiro (CV: Akira Kamiya), the successor of Hokuto Shinken, who carries love and sorrow on his shoulders as he grows into a savior in a world ruled by violence. The series sparked a boom that can be called a social phenomenon, with TV anime, theatrical releases, and spin-offs featuring supporting characters being produced, and it continues to gather passionate support even today.
