kanagushi wolf

Wolf Kanagushi is one of Joe's early rivals in the boxing world. He meets Joe before the bantamweight rookie king finals. After their fight, they meet again in the dressing room. Joe throws insults at Wolf, causing him to lash out. This results in Joe catching him with a cross-counter, leading both men to pass out. Following this incident, Wolf becomes fearful of Joe and his cross counter until his coach instructs him on how to counter it. After both Joe and Wolf achieve winning streaks, a match is arranged between them. Joe wins the fight with a Triple Cross Counter, which forces Wolf into early retirement due to a broken jaw. It's later revealed that Wolf became a Yakuza bodyguard. He is severely beaten by Gangster Gondo before Joe steps in to intervene.
