history

Ippo was raised by his mother, Hiroko, for most of his childhood because Ippo's father, Kazuo Makunouchi, died early in his childhood when his boat crashed in a storm. During the time when his father disappeared at sea, Ippo went to the shore every day to wait for his return. He believed in his father's words that upon his return, he would never leave Ippo and Hiroko again. Although his father never returned, Ippo was able to ensure that his father kept his promise by finding the cap his father wore. After his father died, Ippo grew up helping his mother with the family fishing boat business. During his school days, whenever something happened at school, he would return home, hiding his feelings by saying that he was fine. After being bullied by his classmates Masahiko Umezawa, Takemura, and Matsuda, Ippo was saved by rookie boxer, Mamoru Takamura, who chased the trio away. The unconscious Ippo is then taken to the Kamogawa Gymnasium, where he is nursed back to health by Takamura. Before letting Ippo go, Takamura gave him a chance to punch a heavy weight bag with a drawing of Umesawa's face on it. After following Takamura's instructions, Ippo successfully performed a direct hit on the punching bag. Ippo's power was such that the skin on his hand peeled off after hitting the punching bag. While bandaging Ippo's hand, Takamura noticed his well-built body and encouraged him to defend himself against the gang. Before leaving, Takamura gave him a video compilation of Mike Tyson's knockouts. He is currently training at the Kamogawa Gym, as he wants to know what it really means to be strong.

Relations

• Mamoru Takamura: Takamura is a veteran boxer who introduces Ippo to the sport after rescuing him from thugs. Gifted with incredible physical ability, he is one of the few Japanese boxers to make it to the world stage. As a result of his incredible skill, Takamura has an equally large ego and is always out to slander his enemies, teammates, and even Coach Kamogawa. He is the rebellious son of a family that runs a large, successful line of Japanese hotels and resorts, and was a real troublemaker until Coach Kamogawa managed to pry him from a life of street violence. Currently, Takamura has a record of 21-0-0, with 21 KOs, and is the defending WBC Middleweight Champion, and former WBC Junior Middleweight Champion. He takes his pride in the help of his friends and fellow boxers, most notably Ippo, whom he has personally taken under his wing. His current goal is to win the next four heavyweight divisions, thereby conquering the top six categories of professional boxing. • Tatsuya Kimura: He is a member of the Kamogawa Gym, 19 years old (at the beginning of the series). He has been good friends with Aoki for a long time, and later becomes friends with Takamura and Ippo. At first, Ippo thought that Ippo did not have the skills to be a professional boxer, making his life impossible with Aoki, but he soon accepted him. His fighting style is very orthodox with good footwork and agility, which makes up for his lack of strength in his fists. His most effective punch is the "Dragon Fish" punch, but to do it he has to change his stance and move like a hand-to-hand combat fighter, a style that he is not. He once fought Ryo Mashiba for the Japanese Junior Lightweight title. He works at his family's flower shop.

• Masaru Aoki: He is another member of the Kamogawa Gym. He is 19 years old (at the beginning of the series) and is Kimura's best friend, along with Takamura and Ippo. He is a man who does not have much talent for boxing as he uses very unique and comical moves, such as the "Double Punch" and the "Frog Punch". He works at a Japanese noodle shop and is very good at cooking. He has a taste for women who are "less physically attractive" because his high school girlfriend, who was pretty, ended up cheating on him. During his time as a delinquent, he had a tendency to touch his "package". Like Kimura and Takamura, he always goes to see Ippo in his fights, in addition to making his life impossible with Kimura. His weight class is lightweight. Like Kimura, he has had a fight for the Japanese Lightweight title against Imae Katsutaka. • Ichiro Miyata: He is Ippo's great rival, they fight for the first time when Ippo is a rookie and Ippo wins the fight, they swear to fight in the Japanese rookie finals but Miyata fails to reach the final, which causes him to leave the country in search of improving his level. • Genji Kamogawa: He is the head trainer and founder of the Kamogawa Gym. He fought as a professional boxer in Japan shortly after the end of World War II. Together with his friends, Ginpachi Nekota and Dankichi Hama, Kamogawa developed a fighting style that probably became the precursor to boxing in Japan and emphasized scientific theory in his techniques. As a trainer, Kamogawa's wealth of knowledge and experience has been brought to bear on multiple occasions during training as well as in sparring. Although he rarely admits it out loud, he is very proud of his two best boxers, Takamura and Ippo.
