Takamura is definitely disappointed with Ippo, and I definitely remember him asking why the coach was making such a sad/hurt face on one of Ippo's losses. Ever since Ippo retired I feel like we rarely see them even conversing, mostly only the usual Takamura banter, or Ippo cheering on Takamura. Kind of pains me when I remember how they were before.

Takamura was the very first boxer Ippo had ever met and also the person that had introduced him to the world of boxing. The relationship between the two can be described as a brotherly relationship. Ippo puts his trust in Takamura ever since the beginning, and takes what he says to heart. Takamura at time gives Ippo some advise to improve his boxing, for example it was thanks to Takamura's advice that Ippo developed the Dempsey Roll. He also often acts as the one that gives Ippo moral support...
Kimura also one of the first boxers that Ippo meets and also one of his closest friends. Kimura in the beginning of the series gives Ippo advice on his boxing such as teaching him how to do weight shifting so to keep up with out-boxers with good foot work. Kimura often times could be considered the more ideal senpai out of the group to Ippo- though he will at times still act jealous to his kōhai since he surpassed him, and will often join in on jokes at Ippo's expense, as he also disgust him...

For example reassuring Ippo that Kumi likes him, and also getting the two in the same room while they stay at the beach. Like everyone else, he seems grossed out learning of A...

After Ippo lost, he was amazed by his boxing ability. Ippo has called Miyata cool and handsome before. His gym mates jokingly imply that he must be "gay forMiyata". Ippo has said that Miyata is a person he will never forget. Almost every time he meets Miyata, he becomes surprised and screams his name, some...
Sendō is considered to be Ippo's chief rival seeing as they fought twice already. Even though their fighting styles, family life (both of their parental figures are women, and lost their fathers at a young age), and their goals in boxing (both seek the answer to what does it mean to be strong to understand each others fathers) are very similar their personalities couldn't be more opposite. While Ippo is timid, and passive. Sendō is aggressive. While Ippo is humble, Sendō is found to be over c...
Mashiba was the main antagonist during the Rookie King tournament. He and Ippo initially got off to a bad start when they met at the license gathering, where he brutally knocked out a friendly boxer. During the Rookie King tournament, he ruined Ippo's chance of meeting Miyata like they had agreed when he cheated during the match, breaking Miyata's foot. Upon Ippo and Mashiba meeting in the East Rookie King finals Mashiba landed pretty decent blows and had Ippo on the ropes, but Ippo showed a...
Ippo was shocked to find out that he chosen to spar with Ricardo, as he learned that the latter is the one who defeated Date. While he was intimidated by Ricardo, he also respected him while being shy and timid when facing him. Despite being fearless in the ring, Ippo observed that Ricardo is a bit lonely because no boxers are equal to him. He realised that while he grows because of the opponents he fights, Ricardo has never experienced it due to having such trivial matches, realising the fac...
Ippo is half-assed. Takamura told him to just stay in his lane if he's not going to commit. You can see it even when he's telling Takamura that people(i.e. Ippo) can't understand him, if it is lonely at the top (its not about finding friends), and how other people must look like ants from there (when Takamura climbed the peak to look at the stars)
