Hajime No Ippo

 Ippo Makunouchi is a very reserved and very shy 17-year-old boy who works with his mother in a family fishing boat business called: “makunouchi fishing shop.” Because of this, he never has free time to play sports or make friends. 

One day, while he was walking near a bridge on his way home, some bullies from his school (Masahiko Umezawa is the leader of the group) began to beat him because of his particular smell of worms, but he is saved by a famous boxer named Mamoru Takamura, who After helping him he decides to take him to the gym where he trains (Kamogawa Boxing Gym) while he regains consciousness. After that, she decides to cheer him up a bit by having him hit a sandbag. Seeing that Ippo has talent, he decides to lend him some videos of Mike Tyson’s best KOs.

When Ippo watches these videos he wishes to be a professional boxer like Takamura with the goal of resurgence or rebirth like Tyson did and wants to know “what it feels like to be strong.”
