Line 13:
-----
* [[All of the Other Reindeer]] (was bullied at school because of his sort-of part time work as a fisherman)

* [[Butt Monkey]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]
* [[The Determinator]]
* [[Disappeared Dad]] (his father Kazuo died when he was a child, and we don't know about his relatives aside of his mother Hiroko)
Line 23:
* [[Gag Penis]] (he is ''very'' well endowed)

Line 91:
* [[Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist]]
* [[Volleying Insults]] (with Date.)
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]] (Deals these to Ippo ''twice'': once when he thinks he's not serious enough as a boxer, later {{spoiler|when he almost falls victim to Kobashi's tactics}}.)
** OTOH, his [[Jerkass]] behavior is often brought up by many others, and [[Team Dad]] Kamogawa [[Amusing Injuries|beats him up with his cane]] when he goes too far.
* [[Wrestler in All of Us]]
Line 114:
* [[Those Two Guys]] (with Kimura)
** [[Portmanteau Couple Name]](Aokimura)

* [[Wataru Takagi]]
Line 149:
* [[The Determinator]]: In his past. Big time. And he's still very strongwilled.

Line 213:
* [[Tomokazu Seki]]
* [[Red Baron]] (God of Lightning)
* [[The Scrappy]] (his long and persona fight with Randy Boy had people screaming that he was a [[
* [[Weak but Skilled]] (His physical strength and durability are pathetic. He makes up for it by being one of the most skilled boxers in the story, with excellent counters that compensate for his lack of strength)
* [["Well Done, Son" Guy]] (he took up boxing to fulfill his father's shattered dreams. In a subversion, his dad and coach isn't a [[Stage Mom|stage father]] and they get along quite well)
Line 303:
** {{spoiler|[[Promotion to Parent]]. Raised himself ''and'' his sister}}
* [[Red Baron]] (Grim Reaper)
* [[Sibling Yin
=== '''Ryuuhei Sawamura''' ===
Line 329:

* [[Alliterative Name]]
* [[Genre Savvy]]
* [[Heroic Self
* [[Taiki Matsuno]]
* [[Weak but Skilled]]
Line 427:
* [[Ascended Fanboy]] : Quite possibly the biggest fan of Makunochi Ippo in the manga's universe (also, probably the ONLY fan of Aoki in the manga universe. XD) Doesn't stop him from being a complete dick to him for mysterious reasons.
* [[Body Horror]] : His skin and bones look during the weigh-in before the fight can be considered this. Only Takamura has ever looked worse after a struggle of weight management.
* [[Good Scars, Evil Scars]] : Has a pair of scars running between the knuckles of his right hand. According to Ippo, they don't look like boxing wounds.
* [[Jerkass Facade]] : Shown to be a lighthearted guy who deeply cares about his kouhai, loves his wife and unborn child, and respects Makunochi Ippo from the bottom of his heart. Every time he crosses paths with Ippo, though, all he ever says are cutting and condescending things.
* [[Tempting Fate]] : you may have your reasons... but are you SURE you know what you're getting into by pushing all the [[Berserk Button|berserk buttons]] of the hardest punching featherweight in all of Asia?
Line 469:

* [[Base Breaker]]: His fight with Ippo.
* [[Friend to All Living Things]]
Line 539:
* [[Complete Monster]]: He makes everyone look nice in comparison. ''Everyone'', even Ryuuhei.
** Well, he's the closest thing you can get to one of these characters in a realistic boxing anime, anyway.
* [[Dark
* [[Depraved Bisexual]]: Not stated directly, but considering he gets sexual pleasure from violence...
* [[The Determinator]]: Subverted. He never had to fight from equal footing or worse before Takamura, and the ego shattering leads to his [[Villainous Breakdown]].
Line 556:
* [[Lightning Bruiser]]
* [[Not So Different]]: With Takamura
* [[Politically
* [[Psycho for Hire]]: Possesses the same mentality as one.
* [[Red Eyes Take Warning]]: ''MAJOR'' example here.
Line 609:
=== '''Malcolm Gedoh''' ===
The reigning Philippines Featherweight national champion, a crooked fighter who offers to [[Money, Dear Boy|fix his fights in exchange for prize money]]. Prior to becoming a boxer, Malcolm stole money on the streets and it led to him getting shot and scarred on the shoulder. He's known as "The Magician" for his the tricks he uses inside of the ring, such as the use his long arms to block one's vision while using good his footwork to get away from his opponent. Another trick is how he throws off an opponent's depth perception by loosening the strings on his left glove so that it flings off his unclenched fist, making his reach seem even longer. After losing the fight with Ippo, Malcolm later confessed that his loss to Randy Boy, Jr. led him to give up his world aspirations and box only for the money rather than competition.
