TRIVIA

Released on April 17, 1987 in Japan.

Kenshiro's kicking pose originally had his upper body unguarded, but this was changed based on a suggestion from Tetsuo Hara who commented that "Kenshiro is a fighter who knows the secret to unparalleled offense and defense."

The Nameless Shura was originally drawn unmasked, but was given one in order to give him more mystique.

Geila was originally supposed to appear on-screen being brought via a wheelbarrow pushed by his servants, but ultimately appears by himself due to the screen switching.

Several freed rebels were supposed to appear after defeating Taiga at the end of Stage 3.

The breakable walls in Stages 3 and 6 were added as stress relievers for the player.

Like in the first Famicom game, Kenshiro's kiais were performed by a producer from Toei Animation.

The soundtrack was composed by Mitsuyasu Tomohisa, guitarist for the band J-WALK (who would go on compose the music for all of Toei's subsequent Hokuto no Ken videos games).
