Appearance

Kimura has a well-toned and athletic physique, typical of a junior lightweight boxer. He sports short, dark hair styled in a pompadour, which is one of his defining physical traits and adds to his rebellious, tough-guy look. Kimura is often seen wearing casual, laid-back clothing outside the ring, while in the ring, he wears standard boxing gear representing the Kamogawa Gym. His sharp features and confident demeanor reflect his experience and status as a veteran boxer.

Bruised and battered, Tatsuya Kimura’s face shows the toll of the fight, but his determined expression proves he’s not one to give up easily, no matter how tough the battle.

Personality

Tatsuya Kimura is portrayed as a level-headed, calm, and reliable individual compared to his more eccentric gym mates, especially Masaru Aoki. While Kimura often finds himself being pulled into Aoki’s antics, he maintains a more serious and practical approach to his career and life. He values loyalty and camaraderie, forming strong bonds with his fellow boxers at the Kamogawa Gym. Although he doesn’t possess the same natural talent as some of his peers, Kimura’s perseverance and work ethic allow him to hold his own in the competitive world of boxing. His subtle humor, maturity, and occasional frustrations add depth to his character.

Boxing Career

Kimura is a junior lightweight boxer who, along with Masaru Aoki, was scouted into boxing by Mamoru Takamura. While not as celebrated as fighters like Ippo Makunouchi or Takamura, Kimura is respected for his steady and technical approach to boxing. He employs a well-rounded style, relying on skill and technique rather than raw power. Despite facing many setbacks in his career, Kimura remains determined to push forward, continuously improving and honing his craft.
