The Fist of the North Star manga series features a large cast of characters created by author Buronson and illustrator Tetsuo Hara. Set on a post-apocalyptic Earth after a nuclear war, the story follows a warrior named Kenshiro, the successor of a deadly martial art known as Hokuto Shinken, which gives him the ability to kill his opponents by striking their secret vital points, often resulting in an exceptionally violent and gory death. Kenshiro travels the wasteland fighting various gangs, bandits, and warlords who threaten the lives of the defenseless and innocent. Many of the characters are fighters trained in various forms of martial arts with skills that reach superhuman levels.
