''Ashita no Joe'' (English title: Tomorrow's Joe) a critically acclaimed boxing manga created by Asao Takamori and Tetsuya Chiba in 1968 that was later adapted into an anime series and movie. While stupidly popular in its home country, it's almost completely unknown outside of it. Outside Japan it is also referred to as ''Rocky Joe'' or ''Joe''. MasamiKurumada, author of SaintSeiya, has also stated that he actually created his first famous manga (''RingNiKakero'') as a tribute to this one.
