Sanoda Kazuku

Sanoda was a boxer and trained in Kinoshita's gym with Karasawa, with whom he got along well and was even friends, but after his last fight with the champion Ippo Makunouchi, he left boxing and returned to medicine. He is a good doctor and even received the nickname "super doctor".

Before Sanada was born, his father had decided that he would become a doctor. Despite not liking medicine, Sanada saw an advertisement for the Kinoshita Gym and decided to go there to relieve stress by hitting a sandbag. Six months later, he tried sparring and was defeated in his first fight.

After further studying the human body, he returned and successfully defeated his opponents in the professional ring using his medical knowledge. After becoming the JBC Junior Featherweight Champion, he moved up a class to face a stronger opponent and challenge himself.

Sanada has short dark brown hair with bangs that cover his forehead. When not in the ring, he wears black glasses that cover his black eyes. He also has long eyebrows and a fairly large nose.

When Sanada first meets Ippo, he wears a white shirt under an open dark coat, black pants, and a scarf around his neck. During sparring to test his Tsubame Geshi and after his fight with Ippo, Sanada wears a black shirt. When entering the ring, Sanada wears a robe. In the ring, Sanada wears blue boxer shorts with a yellow vertical stripe on the sides. At the Imperial Medical College, Sanada wears a white business shirt with a blue tie under a white lab coat.

Sanada is known to have a lot of self-confidence. He is a very kind person, even towards his opponents, and is also incredibly intelligent. Sanada is eager to challenge himself, moving up to a heavier weight class to fight Ippo, just for the challenge and wanting to fight him on equal terms. Sanada liked the JBC Featherweight belt even when he was a junior featherweight, admiring former JBC Featherweight Champions Eiji Date and Takeshi Sendo, and disliked it when Ippo didn't seem too proud of his belt. He acted strangely when Mari Imura spoke, most likely not wanting to discuss his past.

As a former Japanese champion, Sanada was a highly skilled boxer. His fighting style relies on skill and strategy rather than overwhelming strength or speed. Sanada's boxing is based on his knowledge of the human body, allowing him to deliver precise punches that stop and destroy his opponent from the inside, rather than delivering body blows that cause serious external damage. His technique allows him to deliver precise punches, exploiting even the slightest gap in his opponent's defense. His understanding of anatomy also allows him to target the body's four vital organs, resulting in cyanosis.

Sanada himself has no obvious weaknesses. He lost to Ippo because he was too focused on his strategy to reduce Ippo's stamina. This may be more Hama Dankichi's fault than Sanada's, as it was Dankichi who advised Sanada to focus on this strategy. Given his intelligence, it is possible that Sanada would have developed Sawamura Ryuhei's strategy if he had focused on countering Dempsey's throw.

Saada was modeled after boxer Salvador Sanchez.[6] Before he died in a car accident, he wanted to become a doctor.[7] Sanada's nickname "Super Doctor C" comes from the TV series "Super Doctor K". The medical school at Teito University, where he studies, is also named after the series. The protagonist, Kazuya Saijo, graduated with honors from the same university where Sanada studies. One day, Kazuya examined a patient who was a professional boxer preparing for a fight, and received a second's license to assist him during the fight.
