Hot-Blooded Tough Guy Kunio) is the inaugural title of the Kunio-kun series, a beat em-up game released for the arcades in 1986, developed and published by Techns Japan Corp.

It was published by Taito for the western market as Renegade (which made changes to all of the sprites and backgrounds).

Kunio-kun introduced 4-directional-control and enemies that could take multiple hits.

It is considered one of the most influential titles in the video game industry 3 and many consider it the first beat em up ever made (the first beat em up was Irems Kung-Fu Master ).

The localization for the NES for the western market was also published by Taito and named Renegade.

In what would become a trend by Techns, the console version differs significantly from the arcade version in order to increase the length of the game.

Kishimoto was inspired on his high school years, where he was a rebel and got into constant fights and his love and admiration for Bruce Lee and his films.

Konamis Shinnyuushain Tooru-Kun ( Mikie in North America) inspired the games name, while the eponymous character is named after the former president of Techns Japan, Kunio Taki.

After a rival school gang, bszoku, a girl school gang and the yakuza attack his friend Hiroshi, Kunio gives chase in order to take revenge.

In the Famicom version, the Hiroshi is instead kidnapped and Kunio has to rescue him.

Kunios attack with each button will depend on the direction he is facing.

These are reversed when Kunio is facing left (this control scheme would later be featured in Double Dragon II: The Revenge ).

Kunio can throw multiple punches if the button is pressed repeatedly, but they have a shorter reach and while the kick has a longer reach, it comes out slower and can leave him open to attack if missed.

On its own, running can knock enemies down to the ground but will make no damage.

Pressing the right button ( A button on the Famicom) if he is running to the right and the left button ( B button on the Famicom) when he is running left will have Kunio throw out a hook while he is running.

This will knock down anyone who is on his way and also make damage.

Kunio cannot do a jump kick while moving unless he is in the middle of a run.

Doing a running jump kick on a wall allows Kunio to do an off-the-wall kick.

In the Famicom version, Kunio will automatically perform a jump kick when the A and B buttons are pressed simultaneously.

Bosses can be grabbed as well but if they have enough health they will break free.

If Kunio is facing left, the player must press the left button ( B button on the Famicom).

If Kunio is facing left, this move is done with the right button ( A button on the Famicom).
