He's best known as the boxing coach who trained some of Hajime no Ippo's most memorable fighters. His roster included Hayami Ryuuichi, Alexander Volg Zangief, and Imai Kyousuke—a pretty solid lineup that shows his range as an instructor. Fans often note how he managed to work with such different fighting styles and personalities, from Volg's technical European approach to the others' distinct methods. He clearly knew how to adapt his coaching to whoever walked through the gym doors.
