The Hokuto no Ken license is not limited to figurines and classic goodies. This April 18, an unexpected collaboration goes on sale in Japan, Hokuto no Ken × CoreForce, four premium physical conditioning bracelets in the colors of the four Hokuto brothers. The concept is bold, and the price even more so.
What is CoreForce?
CoreForce is a Japanese brand specializing in high-end physical conditioning accessories. Their bracelets, worn on the wrist, are designed to optimize the body’s balance, mobility and strength by naturally engaging the deep muscle chain. The brand positions them as sports accessories but also lifestyle ones, with a refined design suited for everyday use.
The marketing concept behind this collaboration with Hokuto no Ken is clever: just as Hokuto Shinken unlocks 100% of the hidden human potential within the 708 vital points, CoreForce unlocks the body’s natural capabilities. The message is crystal clear for the target audience: active thirty- and forty-somethings who grew up with Hokuto no Ken.
The four models in detail
Kenshiro model: CoreForce pieces in dark steel-blue with black spinel. A sleek and powerful design, true to the character.
Raoh model: Intense black buckle with golden accents. The most imposing look of the four. The official description: “For days without regrets. Raoh said: I have no regrets in my entire life.” This is Raoh as a luxury bracelet.
Toki model: Clean and elegant design, crafted to “guide toward natural and fluid movements.” Positioned as the golf and wellness model, faithful to the character of the physician with gentle techniques.
Jagi model: Intense cardinal red, the most eye-catching of the four. “An impact so strong it engraves your name in the memory of those who see it.” You couldn’t describe Jagi any better.
Each model features seven 10-karat gold pieces arranged to form the Big Dipper constellation depending on how it is worn. A subtle and elegant nod for connoisseurs. The Hokuto no Ken logo is laser-engraved on the terminal pieces.
Price and availability
All four models are available starting today at a price of 86,900 yen including tax each, roughly 535 euros. This is clearly not a mass-market accessory: CoreForce deliberately positions itself in the luxury sports accessories segment, comparable to certain entry-level watch ranges.
Pre-order sales generated “a huge response” according to the brand, and the exclusive limited-edition packaging is nearly sold out. A giveaway is being held by CoreForce on X until April 19, 2026. By following the account @y_coreforce and retweeting the relevant post, you can win a life-size panel autographed by Tetsuo Hara himself.
The bracelets are available on the official CoreForce website. Shipping to France is possible via proxy service.
