Kumi noticed Ippo is stiff. Ippo apologised and explained that when he is fighting in the ring, it isn't a problem, but when he is a second or watching a match, it is stressful for him. Kumi stated that she is nervous too, however, she noted that Mashiba was very calm last night and in the morning, thinking that he was trying to make her feel calmer as well. Ippo became fired up to cheer for Mashiba.

(Succeeded by Kyōsuke Imai) Keigo Okita All Japan Featherweight Rookie King Akira Shigeta Keigo Okita East Japan Featherweight Rookie King Akira Shigeta Appearance Ippo's appearance. This section is a stub. You can help Wiki Ippo by expanding it. Striking a resemblance to his father, he has black, short shaggy hair and thick eyebrows. He has a light tanned complexion, and his eye colour is black, while in the anime, after the first season, his eye colour was changed from black to brown. At one point, Ippo shaved his head as a way to take the guilt of having injured Taihei after he slapped him until it slowly grew back.
