Keisuke Itagaki wrote and illustrated the original Baki manga series. It ran from 1991 to 1999 in Weekly Shōnen Champion, and was collected into 42 volumes. There were 3 sequel manga series, Baki, Baki Hanma and Baki-Dou, all of which ran in the same magazine. Lastly, the 5th series, also titled Baki-Dou (but romanized differently), started in October 2018.
The series first got an anime adaptation in 2001, and had a reboot in 2018 which ran for 26 episodes and was animated by Double Eagle and TMS Entertainment. This was then followed by Baki: The Great Raitai Tournament Saga in Spring of 2020. Baki Hanma (also known as Baki: Son of Ogre) is the third installment of the reboot, and Baki Hanma Season 2 will be picking up right after the first season.
