The man bearing seven scars joins the legend—
The savior of the apocalypse descends upon Southtown.
Following its announcement at AnimeJapan 2026—the world’s largest anime event held in March 2026—Kenshiro, the final DLC character of Season Pass 2, arrives as part of the collaboration between the anime 'FIST OF THE NORTH STAR' and the fighting game 'FATAL FURY: CotW'.
In 'FATAL FURY: CotW', Kenshiro appears as a master of Hokuto Shinken, combining fast yet powerful strikes with pressure point attacks that induce status effects and enable devastating combos. An extremely technical and high-damage fighter, Kenshiro's tense and thrilling combat style hinges on split-second reads and precise spacing.

The successor of Hokuto Shinken, the ultimate assassination martial art, marked by seven scars across his chest. Summoned to Southtown by forces seeking to claim Hokuto Shinken for themselves, Kenshiro embodies compassion toward the weak but shows no mercy to evildoers. In this city shrouded by destruction, Kenshiro will crush great evil.
Kenshiro’s story is now available in both 'EOST MODE' and 'ARCADE MODE', where players can enjoy character-specific narratives.
RPG Mode 'EOST MODE':
Kenshiro awakens in Southtown, where he meets Terry and Mai and soon notices something strange—an eerie, inexplicable miasma permeating the city. Determined to uncover its source, Kenshiro races through Southtown in pursuit of the mysterious aura.
'ARCADE MODE':
When Kenshiro suddenly awakens, he finds himself not in a desolate wasteland, but in a modern city of towering skyscrapers—Southtown, ruled by the man known as Wolfgang Krauser. The weak are trampled, and tyranny reigns. Clenching his fists, Kenshiro joins the newly convened KOF tournament alongside Terry, Hokutomaru, and Hotaru, united in purpose—to face Krauser in battle.
