The series follows Ippo Makunouchi, a shy high school student who transforms from a victim of bullying into a professional boxer. Unlike many sports anime that rely on "superpowers," Ippo grounds itself in reality.
From the genius Ichiro Miyata to the ferocious Takeshi Sendo, the antagonists are as well-developed as the hero.
