History Characters / Eyeshield21TeikokuAlexanders

* AncientRome: These guys seemed to have a Roman Empire [[{{Motifs}} theme]] going on, which fitted their meritocratic philosophy as a captain pretty well.

* ThePrankster: One of the ways he kept the atmosphere lighthearted. He often played practical jokes on other players of the team, such as swapping Taka's novel for a fanfic written by Karin.

* BadassInCharge: He was the one who really led the Alexanders on the field.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: In this team, authority was only for players who kicked asses.

* TheChick: '''Double Subverted'''. In her first appearance, Karin showed up together with Ibarada spectating the Devil Bats vs Dinosaurs game. When they left, some passersby ''appeared'' to refer to Ibarada as the Alexanders' quarterback (but they were in truth talking about Karin, of course). This would make readers think that Karin was the manager, and most likely TheChick... [[{{Subverted}} until]] it was shown that Karin, ''not'' Ibarada, was the quarterback of the team, and you'd think that Karin was going to have lots of actions. In the actual Devil Bats vs Alexanders games, however, it turned out that even though Karin was very talented, she lacked the [[TheLeader authoritative personality]] to be a control tower like the other quarterbacks. So... she's TheChick, after all.

* ChasteHero: Not to the same degree as [[AmbiguousDisorder Shin]], but Yamato didn't have a girlfriend, and seemed not to be interested in finding one.

* RapunzelHair: His long hair extended down to his lower back.

* BaldOfAwesome: Agon couldn't resist giving him a noogie, he took it less well than Unsui.

* WeakButSkilled: Karin may not be as strong as a male quarterback, but her passes are nigh-impossible to intercept, and gentle enough to be caught by almost anybody she throws it to. And while she really doesn't need to dodge incoming defenders due to being protected by Teikoku's powerful line, she is agile enough to be able to avoid anyone slower than Sena when the defense does break through.

* MeaningfulName: "Yamato Takeru" was also the name of an [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yamato_Takeru ancient Japanese prince]] who was... the King Arthur of Japan, in a nutshell.

* NoSell: The "Caesar's Charge" was basically him refusing to go down after being tackled, often ''dragging the opposing player with him'' as he ran. [[spoiler: He was also the only player who'd taken Shin's [[OneHitKO Trident Tackle]] directly without going down]].

* FiveManBand: They're not really evil, though.
** BigBad (de facto): Yamato, who's [[{{Motifs}} fittingly]] nicknamed "the Emperor".
** TheDragon: Taka.
** TheEvilGenius (de facto): Heracles.
** TheBrute: Achilles.
** TheDarkChick: Karin.
*** Tenma also counted as a [[TheDarkChick dark chick]], given that he was so much more upbeat than the other players of the team and relatively useless (i.e., overshadowed by [[TheAce Yamato]], who's also a running back).
** BiggerBad: The Teikoku Highschool itself was the one who put forth that ridiculous policy of stealing ace players from other teams.
* {{Genius Bruiser}}s: A requirement to be a first string player was to memorize 1000 football plays.
* {{Lightning Bruiser}}s: Another requirement to be a first string player is to be able to run the 40-yard dash in 5 seconds or less. Yes, even the linemen have to do this. This makes their line ''both'' fast and strong.

''"It's settled... It's my win!"''

''"It's the same thing. It's useless. You won't be a match for me, either."''

''"Um... Please be gentle to me."''

* ExplainingYourPowerToTheEnemy: An unusual sports variant. When Sena, Monta, and Suzuna went to Teikoku High to scout their players, they also tried stealing the team's playbook. When they were caught, Yamato figured out what they wanted to do and handed them a copy, then stated that they didn't have to go through all the effort and should've simply asked or bought a copy at the school souvenir shop. This shows that Teikoku doesn't really mind showing other teams their playbook since the information becomes useless if they cannot stop the Alexanders from winning.

* SignatureMove: [[spoiler: Oh, Taka could do the Devil Backfire, too]]. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Damn it]].

* FiveBadBand: They're not really evil, though.

* CuteSportsClubManager: Subverted. Karin's actually the ''quarterback''.

* EveryoneLovesBlondes: Come on, how can you not love Karin?
