Fictional character biographies

In Shanghai, China in the 1930s, a man named Kenshiro Kasumi was known as the Blue Dragon.

He was the sixty-second successor of a deadly martial art form known as Hokuto Shinken.

Decades later, a man named Kenshiro was the nephew of, and was named after, the Blue Dragon.

He lives in a post-apocalyptic world that occurred in the 1990s, decades after his uncle's time as the successor of Hokuto Shinken.

He was one of four brothers trained by their master, and essentially their adoptive father, in the deadly martial art.

Due to his affinity for love over power, the youngest brother, Kenshiro, was chosen to be the successor.
