At today’s Yakuza series live stream, Toshihiro Nagoshi made a surprising announcement that his team is currently developing a game based on Buronson and Tetsuo Hara’s popular manga Fist of the North Star. This game will be titled Hokuto ga Gotoku in Japan, which is a combination of the Japanese names of Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) and Yakuza (Ryu ga Gotoku).

Although based on the manga IP, Hokuto ga Gotoku will feature a completely original story written by Yakuza‘s team. According to 4Gamer, this will be an action adventure game that will tell a new story about the protagonist Kenshiro who visits a city of miracles named Eden.The game will have not only battles with actions related to pressure points but also exploration adventures and even stuffs you won’t normally see in the original manga, such as Kenshiro working as a bartender.

More existing characters from Fist of the North Star, such as Devil Rebirth, Shin, and Rei are also confirmed making appearances. Kenshiro’s Japanese voice actor in the game will be Takaya Kuroda, the same actor who has been voicing Kazuma Kiryu in the mainline Yakuza series.

Setting

Eden, the City of Miracles – A city with an inexhaustible supply of water and electricty from the giant dome-shaped old world relic overlooking the city. It has a circulation of currency, and even an entertainment district shining with neon lights.

Characters from the Original Work

* Shin (voiced by Kazuhiro Nakaya, who voices Akira Nishikiyama in the Yakuza series) – Successor of the Nanto Koshu Ken martial arts style. He took Yuria from Kenshiro, and gave Kenshiro the seven scars on his chest.

* Yuria (voiced by Aya Hisakawa, who voices Tayuu Yoshino in the Yakuza series and Faye Lee in Binary Domain) – Kenshiro’s fiancee.

Game Original Characters


* Jagre (voiced by Kenta Miyake, who plays Yuya in the Yakuza series) – A man who judges Kenshiro to be a monster because of his overwhelming strength. He imprisons Kenshiro in the dungeon of Eden.

* Kisana (voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro, who plays the role of Makoto in Yakuza 0) – The daughter of the founder of Eden. She listens to the voice of the people, and drafts and implements various policies. Some call her a “Saint.”

* The Evil King (voiced by ???) – A mysterious kenpo user. He rounds up an “Evil King Army” of bandits and repeatedly attacks Eden.


Creators Interview Tidbits

Original Author Tetsuo Hara: “I think Kenshiro’s voice is suited to someone with a good body. Listeners can also tell when the voice is of someone with the same build as Kenshiro. Kuroda’s voice is genuinely strong, and it is also nice that it bears resemblance to Yusaku Matsuda. I thought it was fate, or that I had met the ideal Kenshiro."


Kenshiro Voice Actor Takaya Kuroda: “Fist of the North Star is a very well known work, so I by no means want to destroy the image everyone has of Kenshiro, but at the very least I plan to do Kenshiro faithfully in regard to the author’s vision.”


Game Producer Daisuke Sato: “You can think of it as a mix of the Fist of the North Star and Yakuza worldviews.”
