The official website has revealed a new visual for the anime Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star), a new adaptation set for 2026. However, the anime will feature a completely new cast.
Hokuto no Ken Synopsis
The manga's story takes place in a post-apocalyptic world and centers on a man named Kenshiro, a master and successor of a deadly martial art, as he roams the nuclear wasteland protecting the weak and innocent from violent bandits. Along his travels, he must confront other martial arts masters and figures from his past, including his "brother" Raoh, who has crowned himself king of the new world.
Therefore, the Hokuto no Ken series, created by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara, aired for two seasons between 1984 and 1988, totaling 152 episodes. The original manga was published in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine between 1983 and 1988. Ultimately, Hokuto inspired several other anime, films, and spin-offs.
