Where it came from
Kenji, written by Ryuchi Matsuda and illustrated by Yoshiyuki Fujisawa, began its serialization in Weekly Shonen Sunday in 1988. The series was created to bridge the gap between martial arts fiction and technical instructional manuals, documenting the life of Kenji Goh, a practitioner of Bajiquan, as he travels across Asia to hone his skills and uncover his family's history.
The manga is highly regarded for its commitment to historical and technical accuracy regarding Chinese martial arts, reflecting Matsuda's own background as a researcher and practitioner. Fujisawa's art style provides a grounded aesthetic that emphasizes the biomechanics and specific forms of the fighting styles depicted, moving away from the more fantastical tropes common in the genre at the time.
