[[File:ippo_pic16_1701.jpg|frame]]

The son of Randy Boy, the boxer who fought Miyata's dad and inflicted him a [[Game Breaking Injury]] that destroyed his career. {{spoiler|Ironically, the brain damage that Randy Sr. sustained in the same fight actually ''killed'' him some time later.}}. More than a decade has passed, and now Randy Jr. is a boxer in his own right. He became OPBF interim champion during Miyatas absence and naturally has a 'unison' match against him for the belt. Despite the fact that {{spoiler|Miyata's father is indirectly responsible for his father's death}}, he makes it clear that he doesn't have a grudge against Miyata.

The son of Randy Boy, the boxer who fought Miyata's dad and inflicted him a [[Game-Breaking Injury]] that destroyed his career. {{spoiler|Ironically, the brain damage that Randy Sr. sustained in the same fight actually ''killed'' him some time later.}}. More than a decade has passed, and now Randy Jr. is a boxer in his own right. He became OPBF interim champion during Miyatas absence and naturally has a 'unison' match against him for the belt. Despite the fact that {{spoiler|Miyata's father is indirectly responsible for his father's death}}, he makes it clear that he doesn't have a grudge against Miyata.

His fighting style resembles that of his father, which he claims to be a coincidence since he rarely ever saw his father. His most distinguishing feature is the fact that he's a genius switch-hitter, able to change between normal stance and southpaw very fluidly. This creates a 'satic' that disrupts the opponents rythym, especially that of counter punchers. Because of this, he's the worst possible match-up for Miyata. He has gained the ring-name "Asura" for his ability to 'go' and 'see' everywhere in the ring.

Line 603:

* [[Generation Xerox]]

* [[I Am Not Left Handed]]: Somewhat subverted, as he is equally skilled fighting both southpaw and orthodox.

=== '''Miyata Sr.''' ===

Miyata Sr. is the trainer of his son, Ichiro Miyata. He was a former OPBF champion who was headed for the World stage [[Game Breaking Injury|before having his jaw broken by Randy Boy Sr]], ending his career. Broken, as both a fighter and a man, Miyata Sr. began drinking heavily, causing his wife to leave him. However, he finds hope in his son, who has [[Generation Xerox|picked up his boxing style without having been formally trained]] and becomes his trainer.

=== '''Jinpachi Nekota''' ===

Nekota Ginpachi is a long time friend and eternal rival of Kamogawa Genji. In the past he was a natual boxer with wild instincts that even Kamogawa and Dankichi said were better than theirs but never admitting to Nekota. With fast reflexes and superb agility, Nekota was as powerful as Kamogawa and Dankichi. However, after a match with Kamogawa, Nekota found himself suffering from {{spoiler|Punch Drunk Syndrome}}. Knowing this, he still took on American soldier Ralph Anderson, who was a Welterweight world ranker before WWII. He was beating Anderson before getting hit by a rabbit punch, causing a [[Game Breaking Injury]] which allowed Anderson to win. Now, Nekota is a freelance boxing trainer on par or better than Kamogawa. He frequently shows up to big fights in the Japanese boxing scene as well as to support the Kamogawa gang in their biggest of fights.
