From North Star to South Town – Kenshiro Is Coming to FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves!

Seven scars, two worlds, one legend: The Savior of the Century’s End descends upon South Town

First announced at AnimeJapan 2026, one of the world’s largest anime events, the collaboration with “Fist of the North Star: HOKUTO NO KEN” reaches its climax as Kenshiro joins FATAL FURY: City of the Wolves as the final Season Pass 2 DLC character.

Kenshiro

Voice Actors: Clayton Alexander (EN), Shunsuke Takeuchi (JA)
Post-apocalyptic savior with seven distinctive scars carved onto his chest. As sole successor to the ultimate assassination art, Hokuto Shinken, he treads a perilous path; indeed, a dangerous yearning for Hokuto Shinken by forces unknown is what calls him to the South Town in the first place. To the weak, lost, and broken, he extends a helping hand; to those who prey on them, he metes out merciless justice.

Here are some of his moves!

Finger Snap of Emptiness

A move that instantly strikes multiple channeling points on the opponent’s head with rapid finger flicks.

It allows Kenshiro to advance on the opponent while attacking, and the Heavy and REV versions pass through the opponent entirely—use this to pressure them from both sides.

REV versions of special moves and REV Blows can inflict the Channeling Point status on hit, so look for every opportunity to land them.

Hokuto Hundred-Kick-Rush

A move that strikes multiple channeling points on the opponent’s upper body with rapid kicks.

The forward step into the kicks makes this a highly combo-friendly tool.

When used against an opponent in the Channeling Point status, REV versions of special moves and REV Blows will change the way they react when hit — aim to use REV Accel in your combos to make the most of this.

Hokuto Soaring Split Kick

A move that launches the opponent into the air with a powerful strike, then follows up with a godspeed kick to continue the assault mid-air.

Use this as an anti-air option against incoming opponents.

The Heavy and REV versions can be braked on the first hit — depending on the situation, you can either follow up after braking or let the full move play out and take advantage of the Channeling Point status.

Celestial Destruction

A secret art of Hokuto Shinken that, from a special stance, fires a burst of concentrated fighting spirit at the opponent without making physical contact, striking channeling points arranged in the shape of the Big Dipper.

The Heavy and REV versions leave Kenshiro at an advantage even on block, and an additional input fires another burst for a follow-up attack.

Easy to incorporate into REV Accel, this versatile move works well in both pressure situations and full combos.

Two-Fingered Intercept

A move that catches projectiles such as arrows and crossbow bolts between the index and middle fingers, then hurls them back at the opponent.

While Kenshiro has no projectiles of his own, he has tools to counter them — including this move and Extreme Airflow — so make sure to use them wisely depending on the situation.

Hokuto Fist of Penitence

A move that drives deep into a channeling point on the opponent’s temples, forcing them to reflect on their own sinful ways.

The standard version inflicts the Channeling Point status; if the opponent is already in Channeling Point status, it stuns them on the spot. The Redline version forces a stun regardless of whether the opponent is in Channeling Point status.

Use it at the right moment to land a decisive combo and make your opponent truly regret their choices.

Hokuto Hundred-Fist Rush

A devastating barrage of countless precision strikes unleashed in an instant, targeting the numerous pressure points scattered across the opponent’s head and upper body from every blind angle.

The sheer speed of the punches is so overwhelming that it sends the opponent flying into the air.

This move can only be activated under limited conditions, but its power reflects that restriction — land it decisively to knock the opponent down for good.
