Kenshiro is the nephew of the Blue Dragon, Kenshiro Kasumi.
He lives in a wasteland created by a nuclear apocalypse that occurred in the 1990s.
He was one of four brothers trained by their master, and essentially their adoptive father, in the deadly martial art of Hokuto Shinken.
Due to his affinity for love over power, the youngest brother, Kenshiro, was chosen to be the successor.
