Due to the growing popularity of the members of the Kamogawa Boxing Gym, a TV station set up with Yagi Haruhiko, an interview for the fighters with Kumiko. Upon arrival, she was asked for autographs and pictures by the boxers who simply wanted to show off theirs skills. Seeing as the only one who was seriously practising was Ippo Makunouchi, she requested him to spar with her for the cameras (much to the annoyance of his gym mates).
Later that day, she also interviewed foreign fighter Alexander Volg Zangief at the Otowa Boxing Gym.
