Miyata, Ichirou
宮田 一郎
Since childhood, Miyata has always wanted to be like his father. His dad, Suzuki Miyata, was a boxer until a career-ending jaw bone injury forced him to retire. Miyata takes his training very seriously and has always believed in his father's old conviction that skill can beat strength. You hardly ever see him smile because he believes he does not have the privilege to smile unless he wins a boxing match.
Spoiler
He had worked his way up to almost the top of the featherweight Rookie King championship, until Ryo Mashiba beat him in a match. Miyata ended up in the hospital with a broken foot, as well as some other injuries.
Miyata then left Japan to fill the gap between himself and Ippo. He now holds the OPBF Featherweight title and has defended it five times.
Due to his promise with Ippo and his determination to prove his father's boxing to the world, Miyata restricts himself to the Featherweights and as a consequence suffers from severe weight control, which lowers his match stamina and strength while making him more susceptible to damage.

Spoiler
He was supposed to fight Ippo as promised at that point, but due to a series of events that would come to be called fate, the match didn't happen. Miyata broke his fists in the fight preceding his match with Ippo and took three months off to recover. During that interval, Randy Boy Junior became the Interim Champion. Miyata then cancelled his match with Ippo, much to everyone's confusion.
