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.
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]
* {{spoiler|[[You Killed My Father]]: Averted, he doesn't blame Miyata-san for the death of Randy Boy.}}
 
Line 670:
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Gonk]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Shouko Tsuda aka [[Fullmetal Alchemist (Manga)|Izumi Curtis.]]
* [[Ugly Guy, Hot Wife]]: Inverted, she is who is the ugly one while Aoki is the better looking of the two.
 
Line 692:
* [[Mr. Exposition]] (if there's someone in the local boxing corner with good contacts and handy info, it's him)
* [[Perma Stubble]]
* [[Sharp -Dressed Man]]
* [[Smoking Is Cool]]
 
Line 709:
 
* [[Cool Big Sis]]
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]
* [[The Medic]]
* [[Meganekko]]
Line 715:
 
=== '''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.
----
* [[Alcoholic Parent]]: Was this before training his son.
* [[Like Father, Like Son]]
* [[No Name Given]]
* [[Stage Mom|Stage Dad]] (Subverted, Miyata took up boxing because ''he'' chose to.)
Line 724:
 
=== '''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.

Line 733:
* [[Ichiro Nagai]]
* [[Team Dad]]
* {{spoiler|[[Tragic Dream]] (A [[Game -Breaking Injury]] left him with brain damage)}}
* [[Two Guys and A Girl]] (In the backstory, with Kamogawa and {{spoiler|Yuki}})
