After the Earth is devastated by nuclear war, society breaks down into a system where only the strong survive. Often, there are raids on normal people when 'the strong' decide that they need something. Into this desolate world comes Kenshiro, master of the Hokuto Shinken style of martial art. This style destroys the body from within by striking at one of the numerous acupuncture points. Kenshiro is a wanderer on a quest to find his lost love Yuria...taken from him in a battle with Shin long ago. The battle left Kenshiro with scars in the pattern of the Big Dipper. During his wanderings, Kenshiro defends the victims of 'the strong' for he is pledged by his art to defend the weak. Kenshiro is an extremely honorable, though somber man...almost the archetype of the tragic hero. The series is high in the amount of gore created, but the strong central characters seem to rise above that in audience appeal ...
