DatabookHokuto no Ken
Hokuto no Ken Data File Ōgi Hidensho (Futabasha, 2006) 北斗の拳 データFILE 奥義秘伝書
Overview
“Hokuto no Ken, Data File: Secret Manual of Ultimate Techniques” (北斗の拳 データFILE 奥義秘伝書) is the companion volume to Character File Ransei Eiyūtan, produced by the same Shiranui Pro team. The first volume cataloged the characters, while this one focuses on the fights, the techniques and the making of Hokuto no Ken.
It opens with a selection of the seventy-seven best fights, featuring Raoh against Jûza and then against Fudô, or Kenshiro against Hiruka. The chapter “The Men Who Created Hokuto” (北斗を創った男たち) gives the floor to Buronson, Hara Tetsuo and Horie Nobuhiko. The three interviews are translated in full on the site, Buronson’s, Hara Tetsuo’s and Horie Nobuhiko’s. Next come a comprehensive dictionary of techniques, maxims and a generous dose of parody, including a “villain's life course,” a fake newspaper and quizzes. A recurring column with a punning title, “Seikimatic Tengoku” (世紀マチック天国), appears between chapters. The book concludes with the history of the Pachislot Hokuto no Ken and CR Hokuto no Ken machines.
