Kenshiro joins the prestigious S.H.Figuarts line from Bandai Spirits, based on the design from the new anime Hokuto no Ken – FIST OF THE NORTH STAR airing since April 2026. The S.H.Figuarts line, Tamashii Nations’ premium label, is the benchmark for richly articulated action figures, and this entry goes all in on recreating the most iconic Hokuto Shinken combat poses.
This is an entirely new sculpt, modeled after the character design of the 2026 series. The face features a gaze brimming with menace, and the musculature as well as the clothing folds faithfully reproduce Tetsuo Hara’s art style.

The Dynamic-Movable Shoulder System
The central technical selling point of this figure is its new shoulder structure, called the Dynamic-Movable Shoulder System (Japanese patent filed). This unprecedented joint allows for precise reproduction of guard stances and the power of Kenshiro’s punches, where the shoulders of conventional action figures often limit the range of motion. The lower body also benefits from great freedom of movement, enabling kicking poses.
The figure stands approximately 165 mm tall and is molded in PVC and ABS.
Interchangeable heads and hands
The box contains two interchangeable heads, one with a shouting expression and the other with clenched jaws, as well as ten hands (five for each side). This abundance of hands is no coincidence: it is meant to reproduce the Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken.
Availability
Announced at a price of 10,450 yen (tax included), pre-orders opened on June 1, 2026, for a November 2026 release.
