About Ring ni Kakero 1

Here is what Ring ni Kakero 1 (リングにかけろ１) is about, retold in plain terms: an action and sports anime by Toei Animation (2004). The setup: In order to fulfill their dead father's wish, the siblings, Kiku Takane and Ryuuji Takane aim for the champion title of the boxing arena. The sister, Kiku, will act as the trainer while her brother, Ryuuji, will concentrate on the role of the boxer and learn the Boomerang Hook technique.

Soon after, his fight with many rivals has led to the growth and maturity of Ryuuji. The junior high boxing tournament has began and Ryuuji will be fighting his arch-rival, Jun Kenzaki. The fight kicks off.

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Ryuuji Takane (Masakazu Morita) and Ishimatsu Katori (Takeshi Kusao) are two of the characters you will meet early. This one is best suited to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
