Originally written by Buronson (武論尊) and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, the manga is serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump (週刊少年ジャンプ) from 1983 to 1988. The 245 chapters were initially collected in 27 tankobon volumes by Shueisha (集英社).
Set in a post-apocalyptic world that has been destroyed by a nuclear war, the story centers on a warrior named Kenshiro, the successor of a deadly martial art known as Hokuto Shinken, which gives him the ability to kill most adversaries through aiming the human body’s secret vital point.

As of 2018, Fist of the North Star is one of the top twenty highest-grossing media franchises of all time, estimated to have generated more than $20 billion in total franchise revenue.
