About Hokuto Chronicles

Hokuto Chronicles is an independent editorial platform dedicated to the universe of Fist of the North Star and Souten no Ken, built around two pillars: real-time coverage of franchise news, and reference documentation on the works, their editions, and the authors who shaped them.

2006-2013: the birth of a community

The adventure began in 2006, at a time when social media was still in its infancy. Falco199x, Bluemystic and Kaioh launched a French-language space dedicated to the legacy of Fist of the North Star. What started as a forum for enthusiasts quickly became a rallying point for an entire community.

In 2009, the project took on a new dimension with the creation of Hokuto Chronicles in its editorial form. For four years, the site established itself as a serious source of information and a French-language encyclopedia dedicated to the franchise, documenting releases, news, and the entire universe. In 2013, the site closed its doors, making way for other projects, without ever extinguishing the flame.

2026: the awakening of the North Star

On April 16, 2026, on the occasion of a new animated adaptation airing on Prime Video, Hokuto Chronicles was reborn. The site adopts a contemporary design and features suited to current usage, while maintaining the editorial standards that defined its identity.

A media outlet

Hokuto Chronicles covers franchise news on an ongoing basis: anime and manga releases in Japan, official announcements, figures and merchandise, video games, events and collaborations. Episodes of the new series are covered with previews before airing and verdicts after airing.

Reference documentation

Beyond the news, the site constitutes a lasting documentary base: technical profiles of works and their editions, entries by volume and by episode, a figure catalog, historiographical features and portraits of the authors, illustrators and sculptors who gave form to the series.

Each entry is grounded in the identification of its Japanese primary sources. Our editorial commitments, verification methods and affiliations are detailed in our editorial charter.

The site

Hokuto Chronicles is available in French and English. It is independent, run by fans for fans, and has no connection to the rights holders.
