At the Dragon Heat, he meets Amamiya Taizan, the chiropractor of Dragon Heat's infirmary, & his assistant, Saki Kudo. He defeats Tomoki in his debut match. After the match, he meets Hyuga Sho, a star fighter in the Dragon Heat, who teases Tatsuya.

Why this record matters
“Kurohyō: Ryū ga Gotoku Shinshō” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Kurohyō, Gotoku and Shinshō provides the most credible route into that argument.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q2472384. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2010.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
