‘Fist of the North Star’ is based on the manga series written by Buronson, illustrated by Tetsuo Hara, and began publication in 1983. The Japanese publisher Shueisha serialized it in their ‘Weekly Shōnen Jump’ magazine.

Wikipedia describes the synopsis as follows,

“The film adapts the Holy Emperor story arc, depicting the conflict between Kenshiro and Thouzer, but introduces a new heroine named Reina, one of Raoh’s army officers who falls in love with him. She and her brother Soga, Raoh’s advisor, play an important part with much of the plot involving Raoh’s relationship with Reina as he conquers the land; most of this portion is new content exclusive to this film. The other side of the story is the retelling of Kenshiro’s attempt to protect the villagers from Thouzer’s army with the help of Shū. There is also a small subplot of Bat returning to his home.”

The film is the first in a film series based on ‘Fist of the North Star: The Legends of the True Savior.’ It is followed by four sequels.
