poor
Sanya children lived with their father and mother but, in “Megalo box", all children are orphans.
And they are addicted to something suspicious drug, there aren’t in Sanya.
Fujimaki: Goromaki-Gondo
Fujimaki is a manager of the fixed boxing.
common point with Goromaki Gondo:
In fact, the matching points are only the color of their clothes and “maki" included in their name.
However, Goromaki Gondo is too impressive to ignore in “Ashita no Joe."
Gondo must be in the 50th work.
So I think that Fujimaki is Goromaki Gondo.
