Mamoru Takamura

==Summary==
Takamura is the estranged middle son of the famous Takamura Development company, supported by his older sister Kyoka and younger brother Wataru. His eldest brother, Suguru, a former rugby standoff, constantly belittles his vast boxing accomplishments and carries on the stigma that Takamura is simply a thug that thrives on beating up others. Despite the Takamura family's impressive wealth, Mamoru lives off of his own earnings as a pro boxer.

Notables Attacks/ Techniques:
*German Suplex: A throw that involves lifting the opponent and bridging or rolling to slam the opponent on their back. While this move was only performed twice by Takamura, it can still be effective in a no holds barred type match.
*Sway: A swing of the upper body back to front and side to side to evade the attack for the opponent. Requires sharp agility and reflexes.
*Speed Hell: While using high-speed footwork, the technique starts by moving at maximum speed from side to side, throwing as many feints as possible. With this ability, Takamura was able to create after-images.
*Counter: Throwing a punch after the oppenent has attacked.
*Flicker Jabs: Snapping the left hand (or right) straight out with great speed.
*Tornado Jolt: Twisting the body to build momentum then launch the blow. Requires extreme lower body strength to perform the move.
* Rage Mode:This was first seen when Takamura fought Morris West while he was extremely weak. Once he got angrier, his punches became stronger and he himself became faster. In his match against Bryan Hawk, Takamura was able to fight unconciously and his reactions became instinctive.
