Part I[]

First Rounder Arc[]

YajimavsTakamura

Yajima vs. Takamura.

Yajima's seventh title defence was against Mamoru Takamura. When he entered the ring, he had a well organised cheering squad, even wearing matching t-shirts. The match began and Yajima was quickly pushed to the ropes by the powerful Takamura, however he trapped him into believing that his guard was open, which he fell for and countered Takamura hitting him square in jaw, bringing Takamura to his knees for the first time in his career. Takamura had trouble getting up, however thanks to Ippo's cheering he managed to. The match continued and he began attacking Takamura, trying for the KO, however Takamura easily avoided all of his strikes and then fought back, pushing him to the ropes, Yajima attempted to use the same strategy for the second time, but Takamura didn't fall for the same trick twice. Yajima was then beaten very hard and lost by KO.

Personality[]

Boxing Abilities[]

Yajima is a good boxer, considering the fact he was the JBC middleweight champion and the first man to score a down against Takamura (Thought this happened because Takamura was more stressed than usual). He is noted to be a straight-puncher by Haruhiko Yagi. During his fight with Takamura he was seen making use of feints, counters, and straights.

Etymology[]

  • The name Yoshiaki means "lucky, good" (吉) (yoshi) and "autumn" (秋) (aki).
  • Yoshiaki's surname Yajima means "arrow" (矢) (ya) and "island" (島) (shima/jima).
