• In Round 4, after Makunouchi Ippo's spar against Miyata Ichirō, Yagi Haruhiko was impressed by Ippo's determination. Kamogawa Genji commented that attitude boxers don't sell well. However boxers like Fighting Harada, Masao Ohba, Hiroyuki Ebihara, and Koichi Wajima did. He added the old boxers despite being beaten and beaten, they still stood up again and again, because of that their dreams were born. Kamogawa then accepted Ippo as a member of the Kamogawa Boxing Gym.
