Hokuto no Ken Raoh × Pia (Pia, 2017) 北斗の拳 ラオウ×ぴあ

Overview “Hokuto no Ken, Raoh × Pia” (北斗の拳 ラオウ×ぴあ) is a mook from the Pia Mook (ぴあMOOK) collection, published by Pia and entirely devoted to Raoh. Its cover announces “an entire volume, a major feature covering everything about Ken-Oh, the conqueror of the end of the century” (まるごと一冊、世紀末覇者『拳王』のすべてを大特集!). According to the publisher’s press release, it belongs to the “Character Pia” (キャラクターぴあ) series. The following year, Pia devoted a volume to Kenshiro, the Kenshiro Pia.

After a collection of illustrations, an account of his campaigns and a cross-referenced timeline with Hokuto no Ken, the “chapter of Raoh” (ラオウの章) summarizes his legend and presents his costume, his horse Kokuō, what he sought, his fighting art, “the fist of power” (剛の拳) and his famous quotes. Satō Daisuke (佐藤大輔), general producer of the video game Hokuto ga Gotoku, addresses a few words to him in a special interview, followed by a section on the Raoh of the game. The henchmen of the stage play “Hokuto no Ken, Seikimatsu Zako Densetsu” (舞台『北斗の拳-世紀末ザコ伝説-』) also write to him. A chronicle on the era he lived in and a presentation of merchandise bearing his likeness round out this chapter.

The “chapter of archives” (記録の章) reviews his battles, from Ryūken to Kenshiro, and wonders whether his greatest rival was actually Toki. This is followed by the words his rivals addressed to him, the people he encountered, his subordinates, a study on “the man whose way of life became legend” (生き様が伝説となった男) and a presentation of derivative works. The back cover reprints his last quote, “I have no regrets in my life!!” (わが生涯に一片の悔いなし!!).
