5 . The hot-rolled steel sheet according to claim 4 , the steel sheet having the chemical composition further containing, by mass %, one or more selected from among V: 0.001% or more and 0.100% or less, Cu: 0.001% or more and 0.50% or less, Ni: 0.001% or more and 1.00% or less, and B: 0.0040% or less.

6 . A method of manufacturing a hot-rolled steel sheet, the method comprising: cooling a continuously cast slab having the chemical composition according to claim 4 to a temperature of 600° C. or lower; heating the cooled slab in a temperature range of 1050° C. or higher and 1300° C. or lower; performing rough rolling; performing finish rolling following the rough rolling, wherein rolling reduction in a non-recrystallization temperature range is 20% or more and 85% or less, and wherein a finishing delivery temperature is equal to or higher than (Ar 3 −50° C.) and equal to or lower than (Ar 3 +100° C.); performing cooling following the finish rolling, wherein an average cooling rate at a central position in a thickness direction of the steel sheet is 10° C./s or more and 100° C./s or less in a temperature range from the cooling start temperature to 650° C., and wherein a cooling stop temperature is 420° C. or higher and 650° C. or lower; and performing coiling at 400° C. or higher and 650° C. or lower to obtain a coil having a weight of 20 tons or more and a width of 1000 mm or more.
