Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken) – Kiba Daio / Boss Fang – Episode 29 Original Production Cel

Kiba Daio / Boss Fang – Original Hokuto no Ken Production Cel, Episode 29

Original hand-painted Japanese animation production cel featuring Kiba Daio, also known as Boss Fang, leader of the Fang Clan in Fist of the North Star (Hokuto no Ken).

This exact shot has been matched to Episode 29, 命ごいは遅すぎる！地獄へ落ちろ牙大王!!, at approximately 09:23. The episode was directed by Masahisa Ishida, with animation direction by Hironobu Saitō (斉藤浩信).

This is a particularly graphic villain piece: Kiba Daio dominates the composition in his blue-toned armor and fur-trimmed costume, while a second figure remains visible as line work on the underlying production layer. The combination gives the piece unusual depth and makes the mechanics of the original cel setup clearly visible.

For collectors, the precise episode and shot identification adds an important layer of provenance: the production artwork can be compared directly with the finished broadcast image. A matching screen reference can be included in the gallery alongside the original artwork.

Original vintage Japanese animation production artwork. Unique production-used piece with studio marks and age-related wear consistent with its original use.
