I が career に一の regretい無し This classic line believes that friends who like the Big Dipper God Fist are familiar with it, and it is from the mouth of Rao, the most charismatic villain in "Big Dipper God Fist".
And "Big Dipper God Fist", a hardcore fighting comic, can be described as a milestone classic in the history of the development of Japanese comics, and today I will talk about the small story of this work.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Tetsuo Hara's early experience</h1>
As a top-notch manga genre in Japan, fighting manga has been popular and sought after by readers for decades. The old-school fighting comics do not have such brilliant and complex combat skills as they are now, nor do they set novel plug-in special effects, nor do they have the battle of the gods that destroy the heavens and the earth. Some are just a thousand hammers, indomitable and tenacious perseverance! This is the so-called "fighting comic"!
Tetsuo Hara, born in 1961, is different from his strong and strong lonely protagonist, who is lean and does not like sports, and his grades are not good. It was never the focus of the crowd. Ordinary teenagers, only manga can bring him some joy, Hara Tetsuo once recalled his favorite Akatsuka Fujio funny manga when he was a child.
Tetsuo Hara in his infancy
In high school, Tetsuo Hara, who taught himself manga, created a short manga based on the novel of Japanese science fiction novelist Shinichi Hoshi, "Modern Life", which now seems to be full of negative energy, perhaps containing his own overly ordinary experiences as a child.
At the end of the 1970s, The anime weekly "Shonen JUMP" under The Japanese Shueisha was in its heyday, and spared no effort in excavating new talents, and the 17-year-old Tetsuo Hara also brought his own works to the door of "JUMP" for the first time, when Tetsuo Hara met nobuhiko Horie, who was the editor of the hojoji cat's eye three sisters.
Nobuhiko Horie
In the early 1980s, Tetsuo Hara published a series of short and medium-length works that did not cause any repercussions, and after many discussions with Nobuhiko Horie, Tetsuo Hara believed that he had insurmountable hard wounds in the creation of scripts, and as a manga artist, he naturally knew how important the ability to tell stories was, and Tetsuo Hara even went to manga workshops to learn how to create scripts according to Horie's suggestion.

However, it turns out that Tetsuo Hara is really not good at storytelling, and a series of works are still unremarkable. Readers did not pay any attention to his "Iron Man Don Quixote" that he serialized at the time, but instead praised the small Easter egg "Fist of the Big Dipper" that was included. "Don Quixote of The Iron Man" was eventually slashed in jump's harsh final elimination system.
Iron Man Don Quixote
Tetsuo Hara, who was already standing on the edge of the cliff, and even his own situation, began to desperately want to create a work that he really liked. At that time, Tetsuo Hara was extremely obsessed with Chinese kung fu and was a big fan of Bruce Lee.
In order to help Tetsuo Hara design a traditional hard-school Chinese kung fu, Nobuhiko Horie even consulted a large number of Chinese medicine books, and suggested that a new school of kung fu be created based on the mysterious acupuncture points of ancient China. Even came up with the most classic line "You're dead!" ”
The early collection of small short stories Big Dipper Fist
With the joint efforts of the two, "Hokuto Shinken" was born, and hokuto Shinken, which first landed on "Shonen JUMP", received an unprecedented welcome, and the reader return visits in the magazine showed that this manga had become the most popular work, although at that time due to the work of Hara Tetsuo's upper part being cut off, the work was in line, but "Hokuto Shinken" made the JUMP editorial department change its view of Tetsuo Hara.
Nobuhiko Horie and Tetsuo Hara know that the current popularity of "Hokuto Divine Fist" is only temporary, and if there is no grand enough world view and many characters, it will inevitably face a waist cut again, and "Iron Man Don Yoshitoku" is the lesson of the former. Nobuhiko Horie began to advise Tetsuo Hara to give up writing scripts, and Tetsuo Hara himself thought he was not good at storytelling.
At this time, the two began to look for real professionals, but many old-school screenwriters resolutely refused when they heard that the comic book author was Wu Nonzun, a fledgling rookie, believing that cooperation was no name and no profit, and all the excuses were excused.
The two had no choice but to continue to ask for people, and finally under the introduction of the editor-in-chief Shigeo Nishimura, they became acquainted with the gold medal screenwriter At that time, Takeruzumi.
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the big three gathered</h1>
Martial Arts
Takeruzumi was originally named Okamura Zenyuki, joined the army in his youth, and after retiring from the army, he began to engage in manga work with his old comrade-in-arms Hongu Hiroshi, in the early years Okamura was only responsible for some of the data collection work of the main palace, and he often relied on the old man to sell the old man and did not work hard.
Nishimura Shigeo, who was in charge of the main palace at the time, really couldn't see Wu Nonzun's three-day fishing and two-day net-drying work, and began to suggest that Wu Nongzun do some script work. In the early 1970s, Takeru had a hard time brushing a little presence with the style of a clumsy model (chao) imitation (xi) Koike Kazuo, and it was not until "Hound Police" that he really established his status as an ace screenwriter.
The manga author Ofhound Police, Shinji Hiramatsu, is very hard-working, with tough lines, full picture, and overall coldness and rigor. With the style of Wu Nonzun itself, it is just right, and it is precisely because of this comic that Wu Nonzun became a famous screenwriter at that time.
Horie and Tetsuo Hara carefully pleaded with Takeruzumi to come out of the mountain, fortunately, Takerozun, who had become a gold-medal screenwriter, did not care whether his partner was a newcomer or not, coupled with a loose grin, he would feel that the newcomer could cooperate better, so after the two visited, Takerozun agreed to the request of the two!
In 1983, the hardest fighting manga in history was smashed head-on with Kenjiro's roaring fists thanks to the efforts of the Big Three!
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > the author has something to say</h1>
First of all, the translation of the name of the protagonist of "Hokuto Shinken" has always been a problem, there are those named Kenjiro, those called Kenshiro, and those called Kenshiro. Going back in history, the orthodox Chinese translation should be Kenshiro, a name based on Akira Kurosawa's famous film "Zi Sanshiro".
The reason why it was originally called Kenjiro should be based on pronunciation, and it is obvious that the name Kenjiro is still very different from the original name of the character.
But I'm used to it, so in this series it's called Kenjiro, a lot of picks say that I call the wrong protagonist's name and the like, I'll reply to it first, I'm happy to call Kenjiro, I don't like it and I can't change it, just like I'm happy to call Rakuhei piccolo instead of Yamucha Bic.
Let's talk about a very diao thing about Wu Ren zun. According to JUMP's manga artist contract, manga artists and script writers cannot work in other publishing houses under the pseudonym of our agency, for example, since Akira Toriyama serializes Aralei in JUMP, he cannot serialize Dragon Balls under the name of Akira Toriyama on Sunday and Magazine, unless he goes to Kodansha in the elementary school hall, or secretly publishes it in another way.
And the big guy Wu Nonzun really used this method to circle money, and the inflated Wu Nongzun still did not change his nature, and he changed his vest and gave a new pen name to the counterparts of the Shueisha Society.
Changed shi Muraxiang's vest to continue to earn money
Changed to Shi Murashiro's vest
Although the fools all know that the authors of these scripts are Wu Nonzun, but because this person was already a gold medal screenwriter at that time, everyone also pretended not to know, until "Big Dipper God Fist" let Wu Nongzun completely concentrate and no longer do bad things, which is also very interesting.
This time to talk about the background of the "Big Three" before the creation of the manga, the next time to start the formal manga story, I personally think that if there is no "Dragon Ball", "Big Dipper" is definitely the most peak of the Japanese manga fighting system, this manga compared to the previous fighting manga, is definitely a cross-era progress! Unfortunately, Hara Wu Wanwan did not expect to meet Akira Toriyama at his peak, the "slut", first a TRUMP transformation of the hard school, and then a Dragon Ball to transform the fighting manga!
I think the person Tetsuo Hara hates the most in this life is probably Toriyama Akira, well, hate to the kind of person who pierces the villain ~ Of course, this is my personal foolish opinion, saying play, don't take it seriously.
