Go Todoroki

Go Todoroki (, Todoroki Gō) is a character featured in Lost Judgment. He is the owner of the Todoroki Boxing Gym and a coach to its members.
==Profile==
===Personality===
Todoroki is a harsh coach, using "tough love" as a primary motivator, berating his students and hitting them with a bamboo sword for failing. While he seeks to rile up his gym members to motivate them to improve, his approach comes at the risk of causing his students to leave him because he never comforts them when they need to be.
==Background==
Todoroki was far rougher when he was young, but was able to change for the better through the joy of boxing, eventually becoming a four-time lightweight OPBF champion. As his body grew weaker through aging and accumulating injuries, he was unable to participate in the World league. He sought to redeem others like him, and opened the Todoroki Boxing Gym to do so.
In an alley, Todoroki met Kenya Oshikiri after he fought some thugs, and invited him to the gym. In order to redeem him and free him from his past, Oshikiri was given one-on-one training, and he quickly learned advanced techniques. One day, Oshikiri badly injured the son of a boxing event sponsor's executive, and the gym was under threat of being removed from the event entirely, but Todoroki groveled in front of the executive and the president, asking them to keep the gym or its members will have nowhere to go, being too rough to reintegrate into society. The president privately settled the matter with the sponsor, and the gym was allowed to stay, but Oshikiri was suspended.
Chizuru Sakuma competed for the national cruiserweight title, but was quickly eliminated after a poor performance. Todoroki threw a resignation form in his face and told him to quit. Takeru Mikimoto was one of Todoroki's most promising members, and sparred with Oshikiri in a practice match, but Oshikiri went overboard and scared Mikimoto out of boxing. Rather than comfort him after such an upsetting loss, Todoroki handed him a resignation form, verbally berated him, and yelled at him to leave. Mikimoto quit shortly afterwards and Todoroki forbade Oshikiri from sparring.
Todoroki learned of Oshikiri participating in the Genbukai, and scolded him for doing so.
==Involvement==
===Lost Judgment: 2021===
Todoroki is approached by Kyoko Amasawa, who asks him if any member of his gym is the Payback Boxer, which he denies. Soon after, Takayuki Yagami intends to join the gym, but is rejected due to lacking a criminal or yakuza background. Todoroki spars with him, then has him spar with Iwashita, who loses. Yagami becomes a member of the gym and asks to face Oshikiri, but is denied. Todoroki relents when Yagami accepts Oshikiri's challenge, but he stops their fight before the latter gets too dangerous.
Yagami, seeking to quickly learn boxing, is given an opportunity to pay extra to Todoroki for a "special course." He gives him some information on Oshikiri's background but does not elaborate on why is body is so scarred. After some sparring sessions, Todoroki allows Yagami to challenge Onidake, who is defeated and promptly scolded.
Mikimoto returns to the gym to Todoroki's apparent displeasure, but he is only present to collect a debt. Sakuma arrives from Australia, and Todoroki is not pleased to see him. Some time later, Todoroki is able to confirm that Yagami enjoys boxing, and wishes Oshikiri could feel the same way, but stops before he can say anymore. When asked of his whereabouts, Todoroki tells Yagami of Oshikiri's part-time job at a food truck.
Todoroki witnesses Mikimoto spar against Sakuma and win easily with Sakuma receiving numerous injuries. Mikimoto then states his intention to best all of the gym members if Todoroki is not willing to take back his criticism from the incident with Oshikiri. Yagami defeats Mikimoto, sparking another heated exchange between Todoroki and Mikimoto when Sakuma raises his voice to tell Todoroki of the harm his nonstop verbal assault method of coaching caused them, and is to blame for both his own and Mikimoto's departures. Mikimoto is convinced to train again with Todoroki by Sakuma and Yagami, and Todoroki welcomes him back.
Yagami states he wants to know the truth about Oshikiri if he wants to confirm he is not the Payback Boxer, and the two head to a bar to converse, Todoroki feeling Yagami may be the one to get to Oshikiri. Todoroki tells of Oshikiri's past and the abuse he faces from his father, and expresses concern for Yagami when he states his desire to get through to Oshikiri by boxing him. Yagami is undeterred, and Todoroki devises a "counter-Kenya" training regime for him, then trains to be Yagami's final opponent before Oshikiri. After Yagami completed the regime, Todoroki makes preparations for the rematch.
Todoroki observes Oshikiri and Yagami's rematch, and witnesses the former lost control when he is losing. Todoroki tries to stop the match, but Oshikiri knocks out the referee. Yagami tells him to let them continue as to not waste what they have worked on. Yagami is able to emerge victorious and Oshikiri is able to feel the joy in boxing.
The celebration is cut short as Onidake informs them of the arrival of the Neo Keihin Gang. He is unable to fight against Renji Honda, and Fudo Oshikiri tries to take his son away. Todoroki has himself, Mikimoto, Sakuma, and Onidake try to stop him, but they fail. Todoroki tells Oshikiri to not abandon what he has learned by joining Fudo, which, with some encouragement from Yagami, allows him to fight his father. Yagami and Oshikiri defeat Fudo and Honda, after which Todoroki gives Oshikiri an application form for professional boxing, and offers to be his sponsor.
Oshikiri calls Todoroki and his students to assist in finding Kotoko Itokura. They arrive in time to help Yagami escape Honda, and proceed to defeat all Neo Keihin members present.
