Ichiro Concept Art (Patreon)

This is an older sketch, it's not up to my current standards, but I still wanted to show you guys just so you have more material to look through!

If you remember in my list of the top 10 Battlers, Ichiro here is the current #1 in the ENTIRE GOB, only because his eternal rival disappeared he's become a washed up drunk who almost never makes public appearances. When he does show up for battles, he always does so in some combination of a stained bathrobe, an open bottle or a flask, slippers, boxers, pajama pants, and almost never wearing a shirt.

He doesn't shave, he likely doesn't smell that good either, but what about his fighting? Well, he's still the strongest fighter in the world currently, so he doesn't need to expend much effort when he's actually forced to fight... No one will be taking his spot at the top any time soon.

But to say he's the least popular of #1 Ranked Battle Kings in the GOB's history would be understating it. Most people hate him, or rather, what he's become and wish he'd go back to how he used to be.
