Fist of the North Star Anime Reveals Cast, Trailer, Visual
The new Fist of the North Star anime revealed a teaser trailer, details of the main cast, and a 2026 premiere date at today's Warner Bros. Japan Anime Expo panel. The main cast includes:
- Shunsuke Takeuchi as Kenshiro
- Daiki Yamashita as Bat
- M・A・O as Rin
Teaser visual featuring Bat and Rin is now also out, but staff and studio weren't announced.
Warner Bros. teases the plot of the new adaptation as:
In the year 199X, the world is engulfed in a nuclear inferno! The seas have vanished. The Earth lies in ruins. It seems all life has been wiped out...but humanity has not perished!
The series will adapt the Fist of the North Star manga written by Buronson and illustrated by Tetsuo Hara. The manga was originally serialized in the Weekly Shonen Jump from 1983 to 1988. The manga is one of the best-selling titles of all time, and it has spawned multiple sequels, side stories, anime adaptations, and more.
VIZ Media licensed the manga in English and describes the plot as follows:
One day, a wanderer appears out of the wasteland to bring justice to the guilty and hope to the people—a warrior named Ken, a man who bears seven scars upon his chest and holds the secret of a mysterious martial art known as Hokuto Shinken, the Divine Fist of the North Star!
