He's basically the voice of the entire Ippo franchise—you hear him calling every match, every liver blow, every gazelle punch, and every Dempsey roll. His commentary style is legitimately theatrical; he makes Howard Cosell look understated and honestly comes across more fired up than half the fighters actually in the ring. There's nobody better on the mic, and he doesn't play favorites either. He'll call out controversial decisions without hesitation and say what he actually thinks, no sugar-coating.
Beyond the ring work, he's the kind of character fans feel they can learn something from, even if his actual background is totally shrouded in mystery. His name, his past, where he came from—none of it ever gets explained. And somehow that's part of what makes him work.
