Sequels and related games Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun spawned the separate Kunio-kun franchise. It was also the basis for Yoshihisa Kishimoto's next game Double Dragon (1987), a spiritual successor that further advanced and popularized the beat 'em up genre format established by Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun, with Double Dragon itself originally intended to be a sequel before becoming a separate game. Ocean Software produced two sequels to Renegade: Target: Renegade, and Renegade III: The Final Chapter. These were released for the ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC and MSX, but never had corresponding arcade versions. Target: Renegade was also released on the NES. Technos was slated to release the Game Boy title Nekketsu Kōha Kunio-kun: Bangai Rantō Hen as a follow-up called The Renegades, but was eventually retooled as Double Dragon II and published by Acclaim. Technos produced numerous games starring Kunio in Japan. Some of these were localized in North America as Super Dodge Ball, River City Ransom and Nintendo World Cup. Technos had no involvement with the Ocean-produced Renegade sequels. Popular culture Manga artist Mizuki Kawashita has named one of the characters in her best known manga, Ichigo 100%, Misuzu Sotomura after the game character of the same first name.
