The highly anticipated new anime adaptation of Fist of the North Star is building excitement, and fans are now getting a closer look at the legendary Hokuto brothers. Following previous reveals, it’s Toki’s turn to step into the spotlight with his own character trailer.
Toki, known as the elegant second brother of the Hokuto Shinken style, commands a unique fighting technique that blends both healing arts and devastating destruction. Bringing this complex character to life is veteran voice actor Tsuguo Mogami, whose impressive resume includes notable roles such as Mr. Compress in My Hero Academia and the Chief in the new Cat’s Eye anime adaptation.
This reveal continues the series of character introductions for the four Hokuto brothers—Kenshiro, Jagi, Toki, and Raoh—who were first assembled for a live stream and casting announcement on September 13. Each brother is receiving a dedicated showcase, intensifying anticipation for the upcoming series.
Set to debut in Japan in 2026, this new anime promises to reintroduce audiences to the iconic post-apocalyptic world. Before the main series, a short spin-off anime titled Elegy for the Henchmen: Fist of the North Star will begin broadcasting and streaming in January 2026, offering an early taste of the brutal yet compelling universe.
The original Fist of the North Star manga, crafted by Buronson (story) and Tetsuo Hara (art), captivated readers in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump from September 1983 to August 1988, eventually compiled into 27 tankobon volumes. Its enduring popularity has led to numerous adaptations over the years, including multiple TV series, OVAs, and even a live-action film in 1995.
For those new to the saga, the official synopsis paints a grim yet hopeful picture: In the desolate year 199X, a nuclear inferno has scarred the world, leaving oceans vanished and civilization in ruins. Amidst the scorched wasteland, humanity endures, but hope is fragile, constantly crushed by overwhelming violence where only the strong survive. From this abyss of despair emerges Kenshiro, a lone warrior marked by seven scars and the heir to the deadly assassination art of Hokuto Shinken. As he journeys through this broken world in pursuit of his sworn enemy, Shin—who abducted his fiancée Yuria—Kenshiro becomes a beacon of justice. Answering the cries of the oppressed, he confronts brutal survivors whose ambitions are twisted by insatiable power and greed. In a world where prayers go unanswered, Kenshiro carves a path forward, fighting for the weak with his unbreakable iron fists.
