Piston Honda

Piston Honda is one of the opponents in the Punch-Out!! series, so far only appearing in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! and Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream for the NES. He is a 28 year old Japanese boxer who Little Mac will fight early on in the game (he's the third boxer). Piston Honda donates his winnings to the neighborhood that he grew up in as a child. Piston Honda is one of the only character in the game that Little Mac will have to fight twice. Piston Honda has weak defense, though is a lot more powerful than Little Mac's two previous opponents. The second time Little Mac battles Piston Honda his defense will be dramatically improved.

It is thought that Piston Honda is somewhat based off of Piston Hurricane from previous games in the series. Piston Honda's Bonzai Rush Attack is even similar to Hurricane's special move. Hasbro made an action figure of Piston Honda along with various other characters from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!.
