Info of him should be added. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.167.190.140 (talk) 10:00, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Character order
Is there any particular order to the characters under each gym heading? If not, either alphabetical by family name, manga appearance, or gym founder/coaches + star boxers + rest (for example, coach Kamogawa, Yagi, Shinoda, Takamura, Ippo, Aoki, Kamura, Itagaki) of course, that last one only works for gyms... --Drantin 12:10, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Aside from the Kamogawa Gym, most of it appears to be by order of appearance in the series. There are a few characters that are out of place. The Kamogawa Gym has Ippo first because he's the main character, but everyone else aside from the trainers are in order of appearance. Do you think the page should be organized to reflect this, or is there a better way to organize them? (Guyinblack25 13:38, 13 April 2007 (UTC))

Maku-no-uchi
In this case, the second "u" is not an orthographic element intended to lengthen the preceding vowel -- in which case the o with a macron would be correct by Wikipedia standards for Japanese -- but is part of the pronunciation of the kanji 内 -- うち, "uchi", meaning "within". The word has 5 syllables, not 4 as implied by the incorrect transliteration. (It's also the name of the top division in professional sumo, where the possessive particle is often omitted in casual use; see makuuchi.) 192.91.173.36 (talk) 23:41, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Shinoda's name source?
Where is the source for Shinoda's first name being "Tomoyuki"? The English dub credits list him as just "Shinoda", and there's no moment where he's called "Tomoyuki" anywhere in the manga. He is mostly called "Shinoda-kun"/"Shinoda-san", "Shinoda" or "Coach Shinoda". Thisguywhowas (talk) 03:54, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

Update: In the Japanese credits of Season 1 otherwise known as The Fighting!, in the Eternal Loop ending, he is listed as "篠田トレーナー" or "Shinoda Trainer". No sign of a "Tomoyuki". I also went back and checked Ending 1 and he's listed as just "Shinoda" (篠田) Thisguywhowas (talk) 23:57, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
