explanation: When a young solitary boy, Joe Yabuki has encountered an old retired boxer, Danpei Tange, the tale begins.

The manga, written by Tetsuya Chiba, was published by Shonen magazine between January 1968 and May 1973, while the anime version was aired by Fuji TV between April and September 1970, then between October 1980 and August 1981.
