To the anime studios, producers, and publishers,

We, the global fans of Hajime no Ippo, are asking for a new anime season.

The last season, Hajime no Ippo: Rising (2013–2014), was produced by Madhouse in collaboration with MAPPA. Since then, the anime has not continued, even though the story is far from finished.

The original manga by George Morikawa is still ongoing, with a large amount of story that has never been animated. This gives strong potential for a new season.

Hajime no Ippo is more than a boxing anime. It shows discipline, growth, and the human struggle to improve. It has inspired fans around the world for many years.

Why we want Season 4:

The anime story is incomplete

The manga has enough content for multiple new seasons

The global fanbase is still active

Sports anime continue to gain popularity

What we ask:

A new anime season (Season 4)

Faithful adaptation of the remaining manga arcs

High-quality animation that respects the original style

We believe this series deserves a proper continuation.

Please bring back Hajime no Ippo.

Sincerely,

Fans of Hajime no Ippo worldwide
