Hokuto Chronicles is happy to announce a partnership with 199X Generazione Hokuto, the leading Italian reference site dedicated to the world of Hokuto no Ken, and one of the rare fan communities still active on a global scale after more than two decades of existence.
199X Generazione Hokuto, an institution
Founded and run by Squalo Densetsu, 199X Generazione Hokuto is much more than a blog: it is the Italian-language reference encyclopedia on Ken il Guerriero, built article after article since the mid-2000s. The site covers the entire universe with rare thoroughness: character and martial arts profiles, history of anime adaptations from 1984 to 2026, in-depth manga analyses, news on manga releases and merchandising in Italy and Japan, and regular contributions to the international community such as the YouTube channel Hokuto Kai.
What sets 199X apart from generalist sites is the depth of analysis and the passion that permeates every publication. Each article is the result of genuine research and genuine knowledge of the franchise.
A relationship that has lasted over 15 years
This partnership is not new; it renews a collaboration that already existed on our previous website over 15 years ago. Reconnecting with our Italian friends in this new chapter of Hokuto Chronicles, at a time when the 2026 anime is giving the franchise renewed worldwide visibility, was a no-brainer.
At a time when the global Hokuto no Ken community can be counted on one hand (a few active sites, a few YouTube channels, a few social media accounts), this type of link between communities takes on special value. We share the same passion.
Head over to 199xhokutonoken.wordpress.com to discover their work, and if you read Italian, you won’t want to leave!
