So basically, I was astounded at the amount of people who don't know Hokuto no Ken, so I decided to make this.

Characters :
Kenshiro
The lead character. 64th successor to Hokuto Shinken, the most deadliest martial art there is. The style consists on channelling the user's energy into a single blow and striking the hidden channelling points, resulting in various results such as the opponent exploding, being incapacitated, moving against their will or healing injuries.
Kenshiro, after having his fiancé kidnapped and being scarred 7 times in the chest, wanders the desert in search of food. After arriving to a little village, he is put in prison since the villagers thought he was trying to steal their water. This is where he meets Bart and Lyn and the adventure begins.
Bart.
A orphan kid that supports Ken through his adventures by managing their rewards, using his buggy to drive them around and provide comedic relief.
Lyn. Ken saves her from the hands of a gang, and after that becomes infatuated with him.
The most annoying character in the whole anime/manga.
Yuria.
Ken's fiancé that was kidnapped by Shin. Basically, almost every guy in the manga wants to get it on with her.
Shin.
Master of Nanto Seiken, but his own style is Nanto Koshu Ken. Kidnaps Yuria and sets the story in motion.
___________
After the first arc, the plot and cast becomes much more diverse and the characters get a whole lot deeper because the writer was originally only in it for ~20 chapters. Because of that I will not spoil it for anyone :D
