Pharmaceutical company Rohto's De Ou brand of men's body wash is collaborating with Fist of the North Star to keep real-world manly men clean and fresh. Special packages of De Ou's "medicinal cleansing wash" and "refresh sheets" went on sale at pharmacies and drug stores in Japan on Sunday.
The limited-edition body wash packages feature four different Fist of the North Star characters with quotes. The two varieties of freshening sheet packages show Kenshirō and Raoh in a battle scene, and people can place packages side by side to recreate the scene from the series. The package theming also extends to the back of the packages that show product information and directions.
Fist of the Blue Sky Regenesis, the new television anime of Buronson, Nobuhiko Horie, and Tetsuo Hara's Souten no Ken (Fist of the Blue Sky) manga, premiered on April 2. Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs.
