The Hokuto no Ken (北斗の拳) video game by Banpresto is a graphic adventure game originally released in Japan for the Sega Saturn on December 22, 1995. A PlayStation port was released on August 30, 1996. The story of this game is set after the original manga but appears to follow an alternate timeline, since characters like Toki and Ryuken (who died in the source material) are still alive. The game also pays homage to the original Hokuto no Ken, with duplicate characters and events lifted straight from the series.
Characters
Kenshiro
- va: Akira Kamiya
Kenshiro - The Savior of Century's End, who is called upon by the fate of a turbulent era! The successor of Hokuto Shin Ken, an assassination art carrying a 4,000 [sic] year-old history. He stands once again for the sake of the turbulent age caused by the Dark Hokuto.
Jado
- va: Masaharu Satō
Jado (ジャド) - The cruel assassin commander of Hokuto Mumyō Ken (北斗無明拳, "Big Dipper Avidyā Fist") who came to kidnap Lin. A loyal underling of Zen-oh who stands before Kenshiro's way.
Zaki

Zaki (ザキ) - The successor of Nanto Suichō Ken, which is said to be the most magnificent among the 108 sects of Nanto, a dance that is as magnificent as a swan. She carries the destiny of the Star of Justice like Rei before her.
Gyaran

Gyaran (ギャラン) - The Lone Pole Star of Nanto. The orphaned son of Souther the Holy Emperor, as well as the founder of Nanto Gashō Ken (南斗牙猩拳, "South Dipper Fanged Oragutan Fist").
