Editing Piston Honda

Piston Hondo (ピストン・ホンドー Pisuton Hondō)/Piston Honda (ピストン本田 Pisuton Honda) is a Japanese boxer born in Tokyo. His quirks include the fact that Piston Hondo's name and trademark Piston Punch/Hondo Rush are reminiscent of Piston Hurricane from the earlier Punch-Out!! arcade game and later Super Punch-Out!! Super Nintendo game. The theme music played for Piston Hondo in his appearances is a short version from Japanese folk song Sakura.

Piston Hondo has also appeared as a Hasbro Action Figure and in a Topps trading card series. Hondo also appears in the pages of the Nintendo Comics System in a story called "Outsiders" where, despite his fearsome demeanor in the game, he is shown to be an altruist who is a boxer to raise money to build hospitals and schools in poor parts of the country.
