Yagi, Haruhiko

八木晴彦

Yagi manages the Kamogawa Gym and is a contemporary of Miyata's father. His responsibilities mainly involve publicity and booking matches, though he also helps manage finances, sells merchandise, and occasionally assists with training. He is a kind and friendly individual who frequently adds ~kun to the names of the gym's members.
He is an expert fisherman, and his personality shifts when he is fishing (as Miyata's father puts it, "he gets the face of a demon"). He is so skilled that it has been said he could become the World Champion of fishing. Additionally, numerous fishing ponds have posted "No Yagi Allowed" signs after losing many customers because Yagi was catching all the fish.
