Yusaku Matsuda, a junior high school drawing

Long before Fist of the North Star, Tetsuo Hara was already drawing the actor he admired. A portrait from his junior high school years was shown for the first time, on television, in 2011.

According to the blog 傾奇車コレクティブル, Tetsuo Hara long drew the actor Yusaku Matsuda, whom he admired. One of these portraits, drawn in pencil during his junior high school years, was shown for the first time on Saturday 19 March 2011 on the TBS programme Kiseki Getter Buttobasu!! (奇跡ゲッター ブットバース!!), in a segment devoted to manga artists’ childhood drawings, alongside those of Osamu Tezuka and Tetsuya Chiba. Matsuda appears in three-quarter view, with dark glasses and curly hair. Hara took part in the programme, which also showed photographs from his student years.

The actor remained a reference. In 2008, an account of the programme Gyotech (ギョーテック), which filmed his studio, reported that Matsuda had served as the model for Kenshiro.
