Hokuto no Ken Kenshiro Pia (Pia, 2018) 北斗の拳 ケンシロウぴあ
Overview
“Hokuto no Ken, Kenshiro Pia” (北斗の拳 ケンシロウぴあ) is a mook devoted entirely to Kenshiro, released for the thirty-fifth anniversary of Hokuto no Ken. It promises a thorough analysis of the way of life of the “savior” who appeared at the end of the century (世紀末に現れた「救世主」の生き様を徹底解析!). According to the publisher's press release, it follows the volume Pia devoted to Raoh in 2017.
The book sorts the hero's famous scenes into four registers, calm, anger, sorrow and gentleness (静・怒・哀・優). It reviews all his battles, including those against the crowd of underlings, and every technique of the Hokuto Shinken. His eleven rivals, designated by the word 強敵 read tomo (“friends”), are Raoh, Toki, Rei, Shin, Shû, Souther, Ryūga, Falco, Han, Hyoh and Kaioh. Twenty-seven further entries present the people he met, from Yuria to Ruseri. A study (考察) finally asks why Kenshiro remains “so expressionless” (あそこまで無表情なのか).
