Meg, also known as Megumi, is a Japanese woman who relocated to the United States with aspirations of becoming a Broadway star. She lives in New York City and forms a relationship with Kenji Ryu, the protagonist, early in their time in America. They quickly bond over their shared experiences as Japanese immigrants pursuing ambitious dreams in a new country.

Her background includes acquaintances from Japan who also moved to America, such as a friend aiming to become a "hair designer," though this friend appears only briefly and soon disappears. Meg's own artistic pursuit receives limited narrative focus; her Broadway ambitions are mentioned occasionally but not depicted through active training, auditions, or performances. Primarily, her character exists in relation to Kenji's boxing journey, providing emotional support during his struggles to gain acceptance in American gyms and his participation in underground boxing to fund his coach's medical operation.

Her character development remains subtle. While initially presented with dreams parallel to Kenji's goal of becoming a world champion boxer, her aspirations see no substantive progression or resolution. By the story's conclusion, her Broadway dreams remain unfulfilled and unexplored, with no indication of professional success. The romantic subplot culminates in an epilogue showing her and Kenji together, implying a continuing relationship without offering insight into her individual path.
