[17] The character names Tetsuo and Kaneda, and the Espers' codenames of Nos. 25–28, were taken from Tetsujin 28-go. [15][16][17] Kaneda's iconic motorcycle from the manga had no specific design. So Otomo said it came out "kind of random" and changed every time he drew it. [17] The character Chiyoko was originally designed to be an old man, but Otomo felt that was too ordinary and "a little boring" and came up with the idea for an old lady, which then became a large old lady. The character
grew on him as he drew and she ended up with a greater role than he originally planned. [17] Otomo posing on a replica of the futuristic motorcycle driven by Kaneda in Akira (2016) The logo for the manga changed several times throughout its serialization, including switching between Japanese and English. [17] The first 35 chapters used katakana in the font Thick Textbook, chosen by Otomo for its ease of understanding and impact. After getting tired of this logo and having entered "Chapter 2" a few chapters previously, he used English in Broadway for chapter 36 because he wanted an Art Deco feel. However, Otomo did not like it when he saw the magazine and for chapters 37–48 he changed the font to a different Art Deco-style and wrote his name in English as "OHTOMO KATSUHIRO". Otomo was often drawing Art Deco-styled
skyscrapers on the title pages at this time, but that stopped when Neo Tokyo is destroyed in the story, at which point the logo changed again and he removed the "H" from his surname.
After Kamogawa helped
Ippo train with a sandbag, he realised the right body blows he
threw hurt him through the sandbag. He talked with Ippo about his body blows, which Ippo had already planned to use in his strategy against the out-boxer Saeki, surprising Kamogawa, who then decided to let him enter the Class A Tournament. After getting advice from Kimura that an out-boxer's worst opponent is someone that is faster than them, Ippo decided to be faster than Saeki, starting by finding his own rhythm. A week before the first round of the Class A Tournament, Ippo attempted to use out-boxing in a spar against Yamada, but realised that he could not throw punches while doing footwork. He then came up with a plan after talking with Yamada. Later, Ippo and Umezawa went to the hospital where Hiroko was being released at.
