Hokuto Gaiden (Japanese: 北斗外伝) is a series of spin-off works by various authors based on the Hokuto no Ken (Fist of the North Star) manga by Buronson and Tetsuo Hara. They were all published in Weekly Comic Bunch between 2006 and 2010, with the exception of Jibo no Hoshi, which was published in Big Comic Superior. Each spin-off is set at some point during the Hokuto no Ken continuity and features a supporting character from the original manga as a protagonist.
After Comic Bunch ceased publication in 2010, Coamix would focus on more satirical spin-offs such as DD Hokuto no Ken (published on Monthly Comic Zenon) and Hokuto no Ken: Ichigo Aji (published online in Web Comic Zenyon). However, an additional side-story serial, titled Kin'yoku no Garuda was published in Comic Zenon in 2013, while additional side-stories would appear in the form of back-up stories for Ichigo Aji.
Ten no Haō: Hokuto no Ken: Raō Gaiden (天の覇王 北斗の拳 ラオウ外伝, lit. "Fist of the North Star: Raoh Side Story: Tyrant of the Heavens") by Youkow Osada was serialized in Weekly Comic Bunch from issues #231 (March 24, 2006) through #300 (August 24-31, 2007). It was adapted into a 13-episode anime series, which aired on Tokyo MX from October to December 2008. The series was released by Sentai Filmworks on Region 1 DVD in 2009, with an English dub released in 2010.
The manga focuses on Raoh, the eldest of the four Hokuto Brothers, as he seeks to use his strength to restore order in the post-apocalyptic world alongside his childhood friends Reina and Souga.
Hokuto no Ken: Yuria Gaiden: Jibo no Hoshi (北斗の拳 ユリア外伝 慈母の星, "Fist of the North Star: Yuria Side Story: The Affectionate Mother Star") by Akimi Asai, was published in Big Comic Superior by Shogakukan (which also published the Kanzenban reprints of the Hokuto no Ken manga). It was initially serialized in 2006 as a three-part story arc from March 10 to April 14. A second story arc was published in 2007, which lasted six chapters from March 9 to June 8. The collected edition was released on September 4, 2007.
