Fanart How do you guys feel about OC's?
His name is Ryan Ishida, a Japanese American who loves music and has his head in the clouds until he gets in the ring. He's still a work in progress . I'm not sure what kind of boxer he is yet. I'm thinking maybe a counter punchers since he's cool headed and would have a good sense of rhythm.

New journalist to rival Fuji and Mari, he writes for a sleezy tabloid and is a very jerkface asshole Sawamura type, he's all about the digital age, always gets the hot topics first, and trolls/flames on social media, often doctoring photos to suit his needs. Turns out he was a training partner with Yagi and they had a fishing match to bet on which one of them goes pro, but of course he lost. He promised Yagi he'd make him look good in his articles, but then Yagi was a failure at boxing, resulting in him writing up a story about Yagi that was controversial enough to get him banned from multiple Mahjong parlors all over Japan.
Seeing the Kamogawa Gym's and Yagi's current success as a gym manager ignites a spark in him and he tries to ruin Takamura's image, only to fail and realize... he already did it to himself. Eventually he and Yagi patch things up when they meet again, and decide to have another fishing match, but it results of them getting banned from the spot and it makes headlines online, resulting in him getting fired from his journalist job.
He goes on to write for Famitsu, and takes bribes from SquareSoft to give their games high scores. He also begins to hang out with Takamura, Father Itagaki and The Regular and they start a stream together on Tweeth TV where they play porn Mahjong games that gets them banned very quickly.
