- —Kenshiro
Kenshiro is the main protagonist of the Fist of the North Star series. He appeared in the 90th episode of Death Battle, Jotaro VS Kenshiro, where he fought against Jotaro Kujo from the JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series.
History
Kenshiro was originally an orphan and a descendant of the Hokuto Sōke bloodline, growing up in a harsh and bleak world. To defend himself, he was trained by his adoptive father Ryuken, the 63rd successor of the 1,800-year-old fighting style known as Hokuto Shinken, alongside his other adoptive brothers. This would eventually lead up to a fight to who would be Ryuken's successor, and despite how young and naive he was compared to the others, Kenshiro was an ultimately promising student and successfully earned the title of Ryuken's successor. A nuclear war then suddenly broke out and created a nuclear fallout, Ryuken having died in the aftermath. Kenshiro ended up leaving with his fiancée Yuria to find a future for themselves in this new post-apocalyptic world. Unfortunately, a rival of Kenshiro named Shin decided to take Yuria for himself, abducting her. After all of this and more, Kenshiro set out into the cruel, post-apocalyptic world in search of revenge while also helping the oppressed people fight against their new, tyrannical overlords. As he did so, he would dedicate his life to being the master that the Hokuto Shinken deserved.
