Name: Makanouji Ippo. "Ippo"
Anime: Hajime No Ippo "The Fighting Ippo"
Age:17-20
Weapons: His fist, speed and adaptability.
Ippo lives in a world where little children don't get to pilot huge mecha. They don't get to use "magic" to solve their problems, and they sure get hurt when you hit them. That automatically makes him tougher than most of the contenders here who inhabit shows that let them get shot, blown up and killed(!!) with no real consequences. He doesn't get 10 episodes to power up and change his hair color. He has to deal with constantly training to be stronger than the next guy, and takes his hits like a man. His girlfriend isn't talking the but word in the locker room is that an elephant roars whenever he takes his towel off, which other contenders can boast about that eh?
Have you ever been in a fight with a boxer? You don't want to, because when it comes to fighting they sure specialize in hitting hard. Hard and fast. Don't give me noise about whipping out this weapon or that weapon. It takes less time for his fist to reach someones nose than it takes to pull out a gun.
Growing up in a working family, Ippo loves his mother, and has worked hard for his whole life. He didn't want to enter the badass competition, since he's naturally shy and kind by nature but could use the prize to help out his mother and send her on a vacation to Okinawa.
Consider Ippo, hardhitting, with a soft heart.
