Kenshiro
Kenshiro (ケンシロウ, Kenshirō) is the main protagonist of Fist of the North Star, a fictional series within the universe of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Although he does not appear physically, Kenshiro is mentioned in the "Bohemian Rhapsody" story arc of the sixth part of the series, Stone Ocean. Hirohiko Araki has also drawn Kenshiro in a special 2007 issue of Weekly Comic Bunch and for Fist of the North Star's 40th anniversary original art exhibition.
Appearance
Kenshiro is a man with an extremely muscular build standing at a tall height of 185 cm (6 ft 1 in).[1] He has fairly short, dark, and unkempt spiky hair, accompanied by short, wide eyes framed by thick eyebrows. His most recognizable feature is seven circular-shaped scars on his chest in the shape of the Big Dipper, as featured prominently in Araki's second drawing of him.
He often wears a blue jacket-like shirt with a red undershirt, or no undershirt at all exposing his chest, with metallic shoulder pads and a leather wristband on his right arm and bandages on his left arm. He also wears pants of similar coloring and a belt and boots.
In Araki's first drawing of him, Kenshiro wears an open jacket held together in the middle with a "K" emblem. His outfit is adorned with several ladybug accessories and feathers. He also wears a watch, a ring, and has several tattoos such as hearts and a peace symbol on his arms. Araki's second drawing of Kenshiro has him wear only fingerless gloves studded at the knuckles and a pair of pants held up by two thin belts, similarly to Joseph Joestar and Jotaro Kujo respectively.

Bohemian Rhapsody
Kenshiro and Raoh are brought to life from their fictional manga series due to Ungalo's Stand, Bohemian Rhapsody. Narciso Anasui passes by a TV airing a news report mentioning that Kenshiro has killed Raoh in West Shinjuku, after Raoh had managed to kill several other fantasy characters. A witness claims it occurred in the exact same way as the original story. The whole incident causes mass damage and confusion to the city. Eventually, Kenshiro is returned by Put Back to his original manga.
Trivia
- In Episode 26 of the Stone Ocean anime, Shigeru Chiba narrates over the events caused by the battle of Kenshiro and Raoh, referencing his narration across numerous pieces of Fist of the North Star media.
