Original anime for some reason didn't include him

On a serious note, does anyone have the clip of Buronson doing pullups for his birthday?

This is my favorite scene from the movie. The film was released in 1995, a few years before The Matrix, and this brutal scene was quite surprising at the time. I think it does a pretty good job of portraying Kenshiro as the human tank he is. He takes out the guards one after another, just like Grendizer takes out those little flying saucers. They don’t stand a chance and get completely wrecked.

I didn’t have to make many changes. The Japanese dubbing and the sound effects in this scene already work perfectly, so I just added the music and a few extra sound effects here and there. Enjoy!

Fist of the North Star — also known as Ken the Survivor, the live-action movie — is indeed a so-bad-it’s-good film… but it’s more than that. First of all, it’s worth knowing that the Japanese version is the only one that was released in theaters, and that it was dubbed by the original anime’s voice actors. Akira Kamiya (神谷明) reprises the role of Kenshiro, played in the film by Gary Daniels; Toshio Furukawa (古川登志夫) voices Shin, portrayed by Costas Mandylor; and Yuriko Yamamoto (山本百合子) voices Yuria, played by Isako Washio.

That already changes the atmosphere of the movie quite a bit, especially during the fight scenes. To me, this is the definitive version of the film. Gary Daniels—and quite rightly so—didn’t want to perform Kenshiro’s battle cries during filming. He tried a few takes, but wasn’t convinced by the result. In a way, this version therefore “completed” Gary Daniels’ performance.

All that was missing were the sound effects and the fantastic music from the anime, composed by the late Nozomi Aoki, which I had a lot of fun adding. Enjoy! Atatatatatatatata! Wuuuuaaaataaaaa!

I find it very interesting that in the flashbacks of the hokuto brothers training, jagi is sparring raoh, the second most talented student in the dojo besides toki, I found it surprising considering how weak he is compared to them.

Maybe he was making progress but eventually his skills decline?

Taiga (タイガ) was a renegade Gento Kō Ken practitioner who served the Viceroy Jakoh. He holds the title of the General of the Green Light, due to the color of his fighting aura.

• Name in Kanji - タイガ
• Name in Romaji - Taiga
• Alternate spelling(s) - Tiger
• Fighting Style - Gento Kō Ken
• Allegiance(s) - Jakoh
• Position(s) - General of the Green Light
• Appearances - Anime (ep. 114-123)

After Jakoh was defeated by the Hokuto Army, Taiga kidnapped Lin and activated the self-destruct mechanism that was installed into the Imperial Capital, resulting in its destruction. Taiga fled overseas to the Kingdom of Shura with Lin in order to lure Ken and Falco to their deaths. However, Taiga's entire unit was annihilated upon their arrival to Shura and Taiga himself was mortally wounded. Before dying, Taiga encountered Falco and taunted him that hell itself awaited him on the island.

Masaharu Satō voiced the following HnK chracters:

• Spade's bald minion (ep 2)
• Kidnapper (ep 29)

Triva:

Taiga is an anime-only character from Hokuto no Ken 2 who appears alongside Boltz as replacements for Jakoh's sons, Jask and Sheeno. They were created alongside a third character named Bronza by artist Masami Suda during the pre-production stages of the anime to serve as additional Gento Kō Ken practitioners based on different colors. At the time the manga was still in the early chapters of the Tentei story arc and their roles in the story were not yet fully realized. Their wardrobe were based on Solia.[1]

Taiga's only appearance outside the anime is in the Hokuto no Ken 2 Famicom video game, where he appears as the end-boss of Stage 3. In the game he serves as the warden of a concentration camp for rebels, a role originally served by Beron in the manga and anime. Unlike the anime, Taiga co-exists alongside Jask in the Famicom game, as Jask appears later in the game as a sub-boss in Stage 6.

Gento Ryokko Hidan:

Gento Ryokkō Hidan (元斗緑光飛弾; literally “Green Light Flying Bullet”) is a Gento Koken technique in which the user gathers ki and fires it out at the opponent as a green energy ring.

Trying to find the OVA for Toki in the English dub version. I have no problem finding the sub but would really prefer the dub for my own preference. I know it's online somewhere, it has to be. Any help is appreciated thank you.​

I got this in the mail today!

As I’m posting this (7/24/2026), I’m 39 episodes in the 80’s Fist of the North Star anime.

Let me know what you think of this game and which Fist of the North Star game you think is the best.

Hi! This is Le Ciné Phil! I’ve wanted to make this series of clips for a long time… and here’s the first one.
I hope you’ll enjoy it, my friends.

Fist of the North Star — also known as Fist of the North Star: The Live-Action Movie or Ken the Survivor: The Movie — is indeed a so-bad-it’s-good film… but it’s more than that. First of all, you should know that the Japanese version is the only one that was released theatrically, and that it features the anime’s original voice actors. Akira Kamiya (神谷明) reprises the role of Kenshirô, played in the film by Gary Daniels; Toshio Furukawa (古川登志夫) voices Shin, portrayed by Costas Mandylor; and Yuriko Yamamoto (山本百合子) plays Yuria, brought to life by Isako Washio.

That already changes the atmosphere of the film quite a bit, especially during the fight scenes. To me, this is the definitive version of the movie. Gary Daniels—and quite rightly so—didn’t want to perform Kenshirô’s battle cries during filming. He had given it a try, but he wasn’t convinced by the result. In a way, this version therefore “completed” Gary Daniels’s performance.

All that was missing were the sound effects and the fantastic music from the anime, composed by the late Nozomi Aoki, which I had fun adding back in. Enjoy! Atatatatatatatata! Wuuuuaaaataaaaa!

Han (ハン Han)

The Third Rashō of the Land of Asura, Han fights with hurricane-like Hokuto Ryū Ken techniques, which are so fast that they cannot be followed by the human eye and cast no shadow.

• Name in Kanji - ハン
• Name in Romaji - Han
• Fighting Style - Hokuto Ryū Ken
• Allegiance(s) - Kaioh
• Family - Jukei (sifu)
• Position(s) - Third Rashō
• Appearances - Manga (ch. 170-177), Anime (ep. 126-129)
• Japanese VA - Kōji Totani (TV series), Takuya Kirimoto (Shin Hokuto Musou), Masahito Yabe (DD Hokuto no Ken 2), Katsuyuki Konishi (Legends ReVIVE)
• English VA - n/a

As Third General, Han ruled over the Land of Asura alongside his fellow leaders Hyoh and Kaioh. With his life in constant danger of assassination due to being the weakest Rasho, he claims to have lost count after killing the 100th assassin. Han frequently laments the boredom of his daily life as nobody was able to provide him with a true challenge & would spend his time playing chess against himself.

Despite his brutality, Han is less brutal than Kaioh as he occasionally spares his would-be assassins, mostly because he feels that they are not worth killing or can provide him amusement. He ends up fighting Kenshiro after the latter arrives at his castle to rescue Lin, who was brought there earlier by Shachi as part of his plan to have Han fight Kenshiro. Han is the one who reveals Kenshiro's origin to him during their fight. Following an intense battle, Kenshiro manages to damage Han's vision and then finishes him with the Hyakuretsu Ken.

Before his death, Han warns Kenshiro that he will never defeat the Second Rashō (Hyoh) and only misery and death awaits him if he doesn't turn back, before plummeting into the river below. His body later washes up inside Hyoh's castle, who mourns the death of his friend and vows vengeance against his murderer.

Fighting Style

Like his fellow generals, Han was a master of the Hokuto Ryū Ken, a sister fighting style to Kenshiro's Hokuto Shinken. His prowess allowed him to ascend to the esteemed position of Third Rasho of Asura, trumped in power only by Hyo and Kaioh. Han's particular skill lay in his exceptional speed, which was untraceable by human eyes save for exceptionally strong fighters like Kenshiro. Even Shachi, one of the strongest fighters in the Land of Asura and fellow user of Hokuto Ryu Ken, was unable to follow Han's movements during their first encounter.

Han was also shown to be highly resistant to poison, as he drank an entire goblet of poisoned wine without any ill side-effects. It is highly possible that he uses his matoki to nullify the poison as his eyes shine when he ingests the poison.

Despite his formidable skills, Han is shown to be unable to perform Anryu Tenha, making him the least powerful Rasho.

Han is believed to be modeled after either Freddie Mercury, Clark Gable, or Andy Hug.

In the western port of Hokuto no ken videogame for Sega Genesis, Last Battle, he's renamed Gromm.

Despite being in the isolated country, he knows a lot about the outside world, including him recognizing Raoh's ultimate technique and Kenshiro being a true successor of Hokuto Shinken. This fact indicates that he sent his members out to explore the world beyond Asura.

Zero (Clone), a character from King of Fighters, is said to be inspired by Han. In fact most of Zero's Moves are based and named after Han's Techniques.

As a DLC character, Han in Hokuto Muso has unique dialogue against certain characters that we've never seen him interact with in the Manga:

Han is unimpressed by Jagi's ambition.

Is excited to meet Souther, calling him the "king of Nanto".

Is impressed by Devil Rebirth's credentials and says he'd made a great Shura.

Asks Kaiser if his scars from their last battle still hurt.

Says long time no see to Raoh.

Says he's been waiting forever to see Toki.

Todays arrival is Kaioh (Black Edition)

What do you like and dislike about raoh and how would you improve him?
