An Exquisite Display of Gold: Kenshiro's Life-sized Statue

Hokkaido is set to dazzle fans of the iconic manga Hokuto no Ken with the debut of a breathtaking life-sized golden statue of its protagonist, Kenshiro. Standing at approximately 1.93 meters tall and created using about 1,500 sheets of gold leaf, this remarkable piece will be on display during the Great Golden Exhibition at the Daimaru Sapporo store from September 11 to 20, 2026. With an estimate price tag of 44 million yen, this statue encapsulates Kenshiro’s fierce yet serene spirit, as well as his stature as the rightful successor to the Hokuto Shinken martial art.

The Great Golden Exhibition promises to be a feast for the eyes for gold enthusiasts, featuring over 1,000 exquisite gold items. With Japan’s gold retail prices soaring, this extravagant event showcases not only the golden Kenshiro but also a life-sized statue of Raoh, another beloved character from the series, designed to captivate audiences with their imposing presence.

Collectible Gold Treasures

Aside from the majestic Kenshiro statue, attendees will also have the chance to purchase exclusive gold collectibles, including a K24 Hokuto no Ken Kenshiro figurine, measuring around 11 cm tall and weighing approximately 60 g, priced at 5,368,000 yen. This high-purity gold figurine echoes the enduring popularity of Kenshiro, whose character remains vibrant through the newly launched anime series this year.

Additionally, the exhibition will present a special early sale of the gold coin featuring on-chan, Hokkaido Television's cherished mascot, celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Only 50 pieces of each type will be available, stored in custom boxes, each priced at 1,232,000 yen.

An Array of Golden Craftsmanship

The exhibition will also feature an impressive array of gold craftsmanship, such as Buddhist implements and ornamental goldware crafted by living national treasures. Visitors can admire intricate pieces, ranging from gold utensils to auspicious decorative items. Each displayed item reflects Japan’s rich tradition of gold craftsmanship and is sure to inspire attendees.

Moreover, guests are invited to determine the value of their own gold and precious metal items, with on-site evaluations conducted through an X-ray analyzer, offering immediate cash offers for items such as broken chains and mismatched earrings.
