"Baki" series
The hugely popular manga series "Baki," with a total circulation of over 85 million copies (as of 2021), is based on the theme of "What is strength?" and revolves around the fierce battles between the protagonist Baki Hanma, the youngest champion of the "Underground Arena" said to be located under the Tokyo Dome, and his father, "the strongest creature on earth," Yujiro Hanma. It is a monumental fighting manga in which Baki fights all kinds of men, including those in karate, judo, boxing, professional wrestling, Shorinji Kempo, and even primitive men, using only his own body. (The latest work in the series, "Baki-dou," is currently being serialized in "Weekly Shonen Champion.")
To date, various media mix developments have been made, and the anime "Baki: Most Evil Death Row Convicts" arc was distributed worldwide on Netflix in 2018, and "Baki: The Great Raitai Tournament" arc was broadcast on terrestrial TV in 2020. Furthermore, from September 30, 2021, all episodes of the third part of the series, "Hanma Baki", will be exclusively distributed worldwide on Netflix. It has also been broadcast on terrestrial TV since January 2022.
