GAMOU Fighting Gym

The ***GAMOU Fighting Gym***, is a fictional institution of the *Don't Toy With Me, Miss Nagatoro* manga series. It is a martial arts and fighting sports gym owned and run by Gamo-chan's family, and attended by the latter as well as many other characters, among whom the Nagatoro siblings.

The gym is located on the Miura Peninsula, in the city of Hayama, Kanagawa.

## Overview

The gym is a large building of several square metre and two floors. It has showers and changing rooms divided by gender, various mirrors on the walls and a massive ring on its center, while the front doors are automatic and see-through. Despite it specialyze in fighting sports and martial arts, GAMOU Fighting Gym also has programs of diet, fitness, stress relieve and general exercise. The gym provides uniforms, such as judogi, for their clients, if they lack them.

A very fervent business, the gym is apparently open at least 6 days a week, and always very busy. Outside of Gamo-chan and her parents (her father for sure), the gym count three other female trainers among her staff members.

## History

The gym was founded by a man called Gamou (likely originating from today's Shiga Prefecture), who named it after his own surname. He and his family owned and run the business for at least a decade; his older daughter Maki attended it since childhood studying martial arts, becoming very good and eventually starting to work there as a trainer herself. As a kid Hayase Nagatoro, started study martial arts there as well, befriending the owner's daughter and, after growing up, helping to give lessons to the newcomers every week end.

Few years later, Senpai went there following Gamo-chan's advice and has some training with Nagatoro in order to get ready for the the school's judo tournament.

Taiga Nagatoro is also a longtime customer of the gym - considered to be "a pro" - as well as Gamo-chan's steady sparring partner. Misaki Nagatoro attend the gym as well and the two siblings are infamous for their prowdess.

## Trivia

* In the manga, "GAMOU Fighting Gym" has its name written in western characters only, thus lacking both a kanji and romaji translation.
* One of the staff member, seen cleary in Chapter 78 during the match between Nagatoro and Gamo-chan, is very similar to the girl who was with her in Side Story 7.
	+ Also, the building behind the two girls in the story's first panel looks like the gym.
* The place was first referenced in the Official Fanbook's Q&A, where, in a mail chat-alike fashion, the main characters - and Nanashi - answered the questions that the fans had made on the official twitter account, and Nagatoro stated that she "had martial arts training in childhood and keeps attending a gym".
