From Hokuto no Ken Encyclopedia | HnKWiki
Hokuto no Ken 4 : Shichisei Hakenden: Hokuto Shinken no Kanata e (北斗の拳4 七星覇拳伝 北斗神拳の彼方へ, which roughly translates to Fist of the North Star 4: Legend of the Conquering Fist of the Seven Stars - Beyond Hokuto Shinken) is the fourth Hokuto no Ken video game released by Toei Animation and developed by Shouei System for the Family Computer, released on March 29, 1991. It is second of three role playing games based on the series produced by Toei, following the previous game in the series. The story takes place in the 21st century, several years after the conclusion of the original, in which a new generation of martial artists seeks to follow the foot-steps of Kenshiro and his rivals, and save from its third dark age.
The game's story was written by Hiroshi Toda, who wrote episodes of the Hokuto no Ken anime series, and supervised by original author Buronson.
The world was engulfed in darkness for the third time sometime during the 21st century. With the engulfment of darkness came the spread of evil and with the spread of evil, order collapsed, and a dark age where only might makes right returned. Kenshiro, the master of Hokuto Shin Ken and man once known as the Savior of Century's End, is nowhere to be found for some reason.

- The Hero is allowed to be given a four character name in hiragana when starting a new game, with the exception of Kazemaru (かぜまる), which is reserved for a different party member. However, instead of displaying a proper error message, it will return the out of context text "Kuroyasha has acquired XX points of sorrow" (くろやしゃは XXポイントの かなしみを せおった。, Kuroyasha wa XX pointo no kanashimi o seotta., with "XX" being misplaced graphic tiles).
- When the player enters and leave the Weapon Shop in Madōtown, the party will inexplicably be transported to the front of the training ground in Mesaia. Thankfully, this is only a minor inconvenience, as Kokuoh can be used to warp back to previously visited villages.
- Dekan refers to Jagi as ジャキ instead of the correct ジャギ.
- Shoki's name is spelled ショーキ instead of the proper ショウキ. This is reflected by the name that was given to his hometown (リブショーキ).
