Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) – Kaioh Imperial Shoulder Shot – Original Animation Cel and Douga (Toei Animation, 1984)

An intense original production cel paired with its matching douga, featuring Kaioh, one of the most formidable antagonists from Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken). This powerful shoulder shot captures Kaioh in his imperial armor, exuding the overwhelming aura that defines his reign of terror in the later arcs of the series.

Kaioh, the elder brother of Raoh and a master of the Hokuto Ryuken, represents a dark and oppressive force—his presence elevates the conflict to mythic proportions. This cel showcases the meticulous work of Toei Animation and the distinct visual style of Tetsuo Hara, whose character designs are iconic in anime history.

Broadcast in 1984, Hokuto no Ken remains one of the most influential and stylistically bold anime of the 1980s. This piece is a vivid artifact of that legacy, ideal for collectors of classic anime production art.
