Ken the Survivor – Hokuto no Ken – Fist of the North Star (北斗の拳) Based on the work of Buronson (武論尊) and Tetsuo Hara (原哲夫) Kaioh – Episode 136 / 00:21:21 Hand-painted celluloid accompanied by its original dōga used in the production of the anime Celluloid executed in ink and gouache Dōga drawn in graphite and coloured pencils Produced by Toei Animation, 1984–1987, Japan H23 × L27 cm Doga glued in place After the nuclear apocalypse of 199X, the world belongs to gangs, tyrants and fists. Kenshirō, ‘the man with seven scars’ (which form the Big Dipper, the symbol of his school), responds to his enemies with a phrase that has become iconic: ‘You are already dead. ’ The manga by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara is one of the defining works of the genre; its broadcast on TF1 as part of the ‘Club Dorothée’ programme made *Fist of the North Star* a symbol of the French debate on violence in Japanese cartoons. Its French version, which takes considerable liberties, also has its own legend: martial arts are reportedly renamed ‘High Kitchen Knife ’ in it. Kaioh (episode 136). Raoh’s elder brother, lord of the land of Shura and master of a dark branch of the Hokuto art. He ‘surrendered his heart to darkness’ in exchange for immense spiritual power. A horned helmet, a red cape, arms outstretched : the appearance of a demon. Defeated, he buries himself in the lava, within a statue where he holds Kenshirō’s brother, Hyoh, in his arms.
