Fishing Rod Salesman

The Fishing Rod Salesman is an unnamed manga-only character who Ryoga Hibiki encounters whilst looking through a village for gifts for Akane. The Salesman noticed that Ryoga has noticed his basket of Fishing Poles of Love and explains to him that the by hitting the breast of the girl with the suction cup at the end of the rod she'll instantly fall in love with him.

Initially Ryoga is skeptical of the Salesman claim, but through a combination of the Poles being at a discounted price along with the chance to have Akane finally love him back, Ryoga gives in and buys one of the Fishing Poles, much to the Salesman's delight.
