An underground Megaloboxer from the outskirts of town whose real name is unknown, Junk Dog is forced to throw fights to earn money for his crooked manager, [Gansaku Nanbu](https://anilist.co/character/130056/Gansaku-Nanbu). He had something that most boxers lack however: ''A True Fighting Spirit''. He fights not just for the sake of earning a dime or two, but to prove himself as a Megaloboxer. So, he gets challenged by [Yuri](https://anilist.co/character/127574/Yuuri) to join the Megalonia Tournament and fight him in order to prove he's a real fighter, he immediately jumps at the opportunity and goes for it, taking on the name "Joe" when he has a Citizen ID forged in order to enter the Megalonia tournament.

He initially fights with old Gear that is constantly in need of repair.  He later takes on the ring name "Gearless Joe" as part of a gimmick to rise in the rankings quickly, fighting without Gear against Gear-equipped opponents. Joe also later met and saved a orphan boy named [Sachio](https://anilist.co/character/130054/Sachio) and his friends, together along with Nanbu they formed "Team Nowhere".

(His counterpart in the original [Ashita no Joe](https://anilist.co/anime/2402/Ashita-no-Joe/) is [Joe Yabuki](https://anilist.co/character/11804/Joe-Yabuki).)

"To be quiet and do as you're told, that's the cowardly choice." These are the words of Junk Dog, an underground fighter of Megalo Box, an evolution of boxing that utilizes mechanical limbs known as Gear to enhance the speed and power of its users. Despite the young man's brimming potential as a boxer, the illegal nature of his participation forces him to make a living off of throwing matches as dictated by his boss Gansaku Nanbu. However, this all changes when the Megalo Box champion Yuuri enters his shabby ring under the guise of just another challenger. Taken out in a single round, Junk Dog is left with a challenge: "If you're serious about fighting me again, then fight your way up to me and my ring." 
 
Filled with overwhelming excitement and backed by the criminal syndicate responsible for his thrown matches, Junk Dog enters Megalonia: a world-spanning tournament that will decide the strongest Megalo Boxer of them all. Having no name of his own, he takes on the moniker of "Joe" as he begins his climb from the very bottom of the ranked list of fighters. With only three months left to qualify, Joe must face off against opponents the likes of which he has never fought in order to meet the challenge of his rival.
