Bronza was created alongside Taiga and Boltz by character designer [[Masami Suda]] during the pre-production stages of the ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' anime to serve as additional ''Gento Kō Ken'' practitioners based on different colors. At the time, the manga was still in the early chapters of the Tentei story arc and their roles in the story were not yet fully realized. The wardrobe of the three Gento warriors were based on Solia.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hokutokaisetsushuu.com/settei/|title=Hokuto Kaisetsushuu - Settei|language=Italian}}</ref> While Taiga and Boltz ended up being used in the anime as stand-ins for [[Jask]] and [[Sheeno]], Bronza's character was discarded in favor of making [[Shōki]] (a later-introduced character) into the General of Red Light. | * Bronza was created alongside Taiga and Boltz by character designer [[Masami Suda]] during the pre-production stages of the ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' anime to serve as additional ''Gento Kō Ken'' practitioners based on different colors.

Despite this Bronza still ended up being used as a boss character in Toei's ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' video game. The official strategy guide seems to suggest that Shōki and Bronza exists as separate characters in the game's universe, as Shōki's death at the hands of Sheeno is alluded in the guide. | * Despite this Bronza still ended up being used as a boss character in Toei's ''Hokuto no Ken 2'' video game.
