Takeru Mikimoto

Takeru Mikimoto (, Mikimoto Takeru) is a character featured in Lost Judgment. He is a former professional boxer who now works as a debt collector.
==Background==
Mikimoto entered professional boxing after winning the high school triple crown and joined the Todoroki Boxing Gym. He was the top member of the gym and was close to Chizuru Sakuma. After his debut, he quickly rose through the ranks and defeated top-level contenders, and was considered invincible. When training for the Japanese Lightweight title match, he sparred with Kenya Oshikiri. In the first round, Mikimoto landed a solid counter on Oshikiri, who went into a berserker state and easily defeated Mikimoto. Go Todoroki screamed in his face to quit and thew a resignation form at him. Disillusioned by the experience, Mikimoto became a loan shark for Kamuro Loan.
==Involvement==
===Lost Judgment: 2021===
Mikimoto arrives at the gym to collect a loan from Gaku Onidake. Onidake does not possess enough money, and Mikimoto offers to pay off his interest if he wins, but Mikimoto's training from getting into many fights over the past month allows him to KO Onidake with one hit. He wants ¥ 50,000 for him losing, but Takayuki Yagami states that is illegal and gets him to leave. When he returns again, Onidake is still unable to pay. Sakuma offers to spar with him, but he declines.
Mikimoto returns to the gym again to face Sakuma and brutally defeats him, stating his discontent with Todoroki's dismissal of him after he lost to Oshikiri. He spars with Yagami next and loses, having another heated conversation with Todoroki. When he leaves after saying he will quit boxing for good, Sakuma stops him and berates Todoroki for breaking Mikimoto's spirit with his continuous verbal assault. Yagami then notes that Mikimoto looked alive when they fought in the ring, which causes him to take up boxing again and asks to start training with Todoroki once more.
Much later, Mikimoto arrives to help Oshikiri. He tries to stand in the way of Fudo Oshikiri, but can not stand against him and is quickly brushed aside, though Oshikiri is able to repel his father Fudo afterward.
Mikimoto and other Todoroki Boxing Gym members are called by Oshikiri to assist in finding Kotoko Itokura. They arrive in time to help Yagami escape Renji Honda outside an abandoned hideout, and proceed to defeat all Neo Keihin members present.
