Sprite author: InSeph.

Ippo Makunouchi is the eponymous protagonist of Hajime no Ippo.
He is a trainer, retired featherweight professional boxer from the Kamogawa Boxing Gym, and a former reigning featherweight JBC champion.

He originally started boxing to try and answer one simple question: What does it mean to be strong?.
Since that moment onwards, he has formed a rivalry with other boxers, such as Ichiro Miyata, Takeshi Sendo, Ryo Mashiba, a brotherly bond with his peers Mamoru Takamura, Masaru Aoki, Tatsuya Kimura, and a deep trust for his coach, Genji Kamogawa, whom he aims to become a renowned champion to honour the coach's teachings.
After retiring from boxing, he has become a trainer, being a second for his gym mates while training Taihei Aoki and Kintarō Kaneda.

Ippo was raised by his mother, Hiroko, for the majority of his childhood because Ippo's father, Kazuo Makunouchi died early in his childhood when his boat crashed in a storm.
During the time when his father was missing out in the sea, Ippo went everyday to the shore to wait for his return.
He believed his father's words that upon his return he will never leave Ippo and Hiroko again.
Although his father never returned, Ippo was able to satisfy himself that his father fulfilled his promise by finding the cap his father wore.
After his father died, Ippo grew up assisting his mother with the family fishing boat business.
During his school days, when ever something happened at school, he would come home, hiding his feelings by saying that he was okay.
