Hokuto no Ken 4

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.
