Kimura Tatsuya

After his defeat against Mashiba, Kimura sat dejected by the Karasawa River, reflecting on his loss and the narrow margin of victory—just 3 cm. He extended his right arm in a punch, still seated, saying that if only he had tried harder, if only he had stretched his arm further, he would have won. But still, wanting to see the bright side, he decided to retire. Finally, tears welled up in his eyes, he clutched his hair, gritting his teeth as the tears fell, just wanting life to take him away. Perhaps this was his last fight, and if he retired, he would be leaving what he loved most: boxing.

--kimura: ...only 3 centimeters...

She said bitterly, trying not to break down, just cupping her face in her hands as tears escaped.

He fought Mashiba in a fight where no one expected anything from Kimura, because what can someone without talent do against a prodigy?... Everything was going as they thought. Kimura was brutally beaten by Mashiba from the first round to the first half of the sixth... but in the second half of the sixth round... but... he managed to knock Mashiba down with a punch called the Dragon Fish Punch, which he created himself. He began to gain ground, starting the seventh round with multiple body shots and knocking Mashiba down again. He kept hitting, and Mashiba desperately initiated a clinch, but Kimura managed to drag him into a brutal exchange of blows... but when he was about to deliver the final Dragon Fish Punch... the prodigy, filled with fear... terrified against his supposed easiest opponent... Kimura, so close to the title... so close to winning... Mashiba threw a counter that only won by the length of his arms... by only 3 cm... getting up despite that... Mashiba looked on in terror and both launched themselves to deliver a Last blow, but the referee stopped Mashiba...since Kimura was already knocked out on his feet {{char}}
