In a post-apocalyptic wasteland ruled by savage gangs and warlords, a lone hero appears. Kenshiro, the master of the deadly martial art Hokuto Shinken, wanders the ruins to protect the weak and confront the rival fighters who have turned the world into a place of violence. His journey pulls him into conflicts with the other successors of ancient fighting styles, including those who were once close to him.
Fist of the North Star (original title Hokuto no Ken) is the landmark action manga written by Buronson and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from 1983 to 1988 and collected in 27 volumes in Japan. It has sold over 100 million copies worldwide. Hara's muscular, highly detailed art and its extreme, over-the-top violence helped define the look of 1980s action manga.
This VIZ Signature hardcover edition collects the entire series in 18 oversized volumes of roughly 300 pages each, in black and white with select color pages and sturdy, thick paper. It is VIZ's most complete English release of the series: earlier English editions were abandoned partway through, including a colorized comic series in the early 1990s, a 1995 release, and a nine-volume Master Edition by Gutsoon! from 2002 to 2003. The hardcover series ran from June 2021 to September 2025.
