Animation Hokuto no Ken
Brought to the screen by Toei Animation in 1984, the saga by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara has taken on nearly every form of Japanese animation. TV series, feature film, OVAs, the Shin Kyuseishu Densetsu pentalogy, parodies and the new 2026 series, this section gathers them all, from the earliest broadcasts to the most recent productions.
Anime series 8
From the Toei Animation series that began on Fuji TV in 1984 to TMS Entertainment's new adaptation in 2026, Kenshiro has returned to television several times. The spin-offs got their own series too, from Raoh's rise to the DD and Ichigo Aji parodies by studio Ajia-do.
Animated films 5
Released while the TV series was still on air, the 1986 feature condenses Kenshiro's quest up to his first duel with Raoh. Twenty years later, the three films of the Shin Kyuseishu Densetsu pentalogy revisit the saga with TMS Entertainment, alongside the CG short Legend of Heroes.
OVA 3
Launched in 2003, Shin Hokuto no Ken adapts the novel Jubaku no Machi and marked the franchise's return to animation after fifteen years. The other two OVAs complete the Shin Kyuseishu Densetsu pentalogy by telling the fates of Yuria and then Toki.
