| 10 | [[quoteright:142:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/someoka_5295.png]] |
| 11 | -->'''Voiced By''': Creator/YasuyukiKase (Japanese), Scott Evans and later Richard Magarey (English, original anime), Nigel Pilkington (UK English, games), Creator/KyleHebert (US English, games), Luis Alfonso Padilla (Latin American Spanish, original anime) |
| 12 | |
| 13 | ''"Raimon's fearsome goal scorer is [[BruiserWithASoftCenter really all heart.]]"'' |
| 14 | |
| 15 | * AdaptationalCurves: In the manga, he is drawn with a much more muscular build than in the anime. |
| 16 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: While his facial structures (big nose and big lower lip) and buzz-cut suggest he might be partially African, he still doesn't fully resemble one, especially when compared to actual black characters. In fact, ''GO'' made him look even less African-like, with a hairstyle which is not commonly seen on black people. |
| 17 | * AnimalBattleAura: [[OurDragonsAreDifferent Dragons]]. |
| 18 | * TheBigGuy: Physically, he's one of the biggest and most muscular members, as well as one of the strongest, being the second best striker after Gouenji. Personality wise, he's [[BoisterousBruiser equally big]]. |
| 19 | * BishonenLine: The dragon in his hissatsu techniques. |
| 20 | * BoisterousBruiser: He's one of the tallest and strongest members, as well as one of the most brash, loud, passionate and a really cool friend to hang out with. |
| 21 | * BruiserWithASoftCenter: A sad thing about those who dislike Someoka is that they don't see past his brash side. He's actually one of the more caring characters. |
| 22 | * CoolShades: In ''GO'', he has a pair of shades that he usually keeps on the neckline of his shirt. When he wears the shades, they add to his overall fancy look. |
| 23 | * CoolTeacher: In ''GO'', he acts like a mentor-figure to Nishiki, encouraging him when he felt he was weak during the time he went to participate in the Italian Pro-League. Nishiki is also happy when Someoka brings him onigiri. |
| 24 | * {{Determinator}}: He's one of the most hard-working characters and when he wants to improve himself, he practices until he succeeds. |
| 25 | * DislikesTheNewGuy: When Gouenji joined the team, Someoka was the only one who disliked him due to his jealousy on him and the fact that he didn't want to lose the ace sttiker position to somebody else. After they combine their forces and create Dragon Tornado, he starts to accept Gouenji as the ace striker, but this leads him to dislike Fubuki when he replaces Gouenji for that role, after the latter being PutOnABus. In both cases, he eventually warms up to both guys, though. |
| 26 | * FaceOfAThug: He looks like a thug and a bully, but he isn't one. |
| 27 | * FieryRedhead: He's quite hot-tempered. |
| 28 | * GreenEyedMonster: In the beginning, he was jealous on Gouenji due to the admiration he got from the other members, as well as his powerful shots when Someoka himself still didn't have a hissatsu. |
| 29 | * HeroicRROD: In season 2, he gets his leg injured when he prevents Sakuma from using a dangerous technique after Fudou already injured him in the leg. It gets worse due to overexerting it when he tries to improve his latest hissatsu until he drops to the ground and is taken out of the team to recover. |
| 30 | * HairTriggerTemper: Mostly in season 1, where he often gets annoyed by his teammates' antics. |
| 31 | * HotBlooded: He's hot-tempered and enjoys fighting. |
| 32 | * HotBloodedSideburns: As a Dark Emperor, he sports two long and spiky sideburns. |
| 33 | * ImageSong: ''Bad Boys Brothers' Blues''. |
| 34 | * InSeriesNickname: [[AllThereInTheManual According to his Eleven License]], his title is "The Passionate Dragon Striker". |
| 35 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He might be hot-tempered, sharp-tounged and competitive about the ace striker position, but he still proves to be a genuinely caring person. |
| 36 | * LeeroyJenkins: In the early episodes, he used to rush to try to score a goal without any strategy. This trait is prominently seen in the match against Occult, but he gets better. |
| 37 | * LivingEmotionalCrutch: Fubuki was very distraught after he was taken out of the team and started going through a SanitySlippage, mostly because he had to carry the forward position by himself and started losing himself to his other personality. When Fubuki visited Someoka in the hospital and confessed him his problems, he felt better. |
| 38 | * MeaningfulName: "Ryu" means dragon, a reference to his AnimalBattleAura. |
| 39 | * MightyGlacier: Ryuugo is the other striker, has powerful kick strength and insane amounts of stamina even for this show, but he's rather slow. Out of all the forwards on Raimon & Inazuma Japan, he's the more offensive and straight forward compared to the others who balance between strength and agility. |
| 40 | * OurDragonsAreDifferent: Dragon Crash, Dragon Tornado, Wyvern Crash and Dragon Slayer. |
| 41 | * PutOnABus: Because he tried to stop Sakuma's [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique Koutei Penguin No. 1]], he injures his leg. Said injury gets worse due to being badly treated, combined with his desire to perfect his new hissatsu technique. Because of that, he is taken off the team and stays in the hospital for the rest of the 2nd game/season. |
| 42 | * RealMenCanCook: He's surprisingly a good cook in ''GO'' and has a tendency to bring food over whenever he goes to Nishiki, whose favourite food is his onigiri. |
| 43 | * RedOniBlueOni: The red oni to Fubuki's blue. Coincidentally, he has pink hair. |
| 44 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: The manly man to Fubuki's Sensitive guy. |
| 45 | * TookALevelInKindness: He's much calmer as an adult compared to how he was as a teenager. Arguably, he starts to show his soft side more often even in the original series in later seasons. |
| 46 | * [[TerritorialSmurfette Territorial Striker]]: At first he has trouble accepting Gouenji and later Fubuki after the former is PutOnABus and the latter replaces the former as the ace strikers, but he warms up to both eventually. |
| 47 | * {{Tsundere}}: Type A. Don't expect him to be facing you when he gives heartfelt advice. |
| 48 | -->'''Someoka'''(To Fubuki): I've been watching you this whole time waiting to leave it to you... since I hate you so much. |
| 49 | * WhatTheHellHero: During one practice, Handa calls him out on making a foul when he decides to get past one of the defenders by pushing him to fall on the ground. |
| 50 | * TheWorfEffect: As season one progresses, his hissatsu and combination hissastsu become ineffective at scoring goals, with non-forward members of his team either contributing more than him or getting injured enough to refrain from playing in the match. While this fades in season 2 thanks to Fubuki, he becomes a victim of this in the Football Frontier International: Dragon Slayer works once on it's own, and is frequently worfed until he performs a shoot chain with Hiroto and Gouenji, despite both having weaker individual shots that score better than his. |
| 51 | * YoungerThanHeLooks: He's a middle-schooler, but he looks like he's at least 30. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | !!Handa Shin'ichi / Steve Grim |
| 54 | [[quoteright:213:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/hndaaa_4917.png]] |
| 55 | -->'''Voiced By'': Creator/HiroShimono (Japanese), Creator/LucienDodge (US English, games), Gabriel Ortiz (Latin American Spanish, original anime) |
| 56 | |
| 57 | ''"He is a [[JackOfAllStats jack-of-all trades]], in other words, well balanced."'' |
| 58 | |
| 59 | * ADayInTheLimelight: He is given the main spotlight in a two-parter chapter from Asada's manga. The main character Gouenji only appears at the end of the second part. |
| 60 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Brown hair and brown eyes. |
| 61 | * DislikesTheNewGuy: Had this attitutde towards Kidou when he first joined the team, mainly because he didn't like the way he changed their usual style of playing, even though it was for the better. |
| 62 | * {{Dismotivation}}: He'll play soccer with everyone, sure. But that doesn't mean he has to enjoy training... |
| 63 | ** Lampshaded in the last episode of the original series. |
| 64 | ** HypocriticalHumour: After he proudly says that they all grew out off the days they were so unmotivated, Shourin points out that he was the least motivated back then, which he doesn't want to hear. |
| 65 | * IronicName: In the dub. "Grim" sounds too out of place for someone nice and [[MemeticMutation "normal"]] like him. |
| 66 | * JackOfAllStats: His stats are thoroughly average across the board and will remain roughly equal to each other as he levels up, unless you train a specific stat. |
| 67 | * LazyBum: He prefers reading over training. |
| 68 | * NiceGuy: He's usually kind and caring with his teammates. |
| 69 | * OnlySaneMan: Compared to some of the people he hangs out with, he can be considered this. |
| 70 | * OrdinaryMiddleSchoolStudent: While every member of Raimon can easily be considered one, it's most notably his main gimmick. |
| 71 | * OutOfFocus: He, along several other characters [[note]] Shishido, Shourin, Max and Kageno [[/note]], got hit with this trope the most. Despite being part of the main team, they don't have much screen time or CharacterDevelopment in the first season and they rarely appear in the second and third seasons, aside from the beginning and the ending. At least Handa is still lucky enough to make an appearance in ''GO''. The others? Not so much. |
| 72 | ** PutOnABus: Twice. First time, they were injured to the point of staying in the hospital for the enirety of the 2nd season/game, with the bus coming back only at the very end. Second time, neither of them were selected for Inazuma Japan, so they were put on a bus once again, until the end of the series. |
| 73 | * RidiculouslyAverageGuy: His design, personality and stats are all average. |
| 74 | ** TheGenericGuy: His normalness is almost [[MemeticMutation memetic]]. |
| 75 | |
| 76 | !!Kabeyama Heigorou / Jack Wallside |
| 77 | [[quoteright:225:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kabeyama.jpg]] |

| 79 | |
| 80 | ''"This bulky full back forms a [[StoneWall one-man defensive wall.]]"'' |
| 81 | |
| 82 | * AbsurdPhobia: As seen in episode 5, he's afraid of snails of all things. |
| 83 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the game, his The Wall hissatsu is very useful to stop the opposite team's forwards. In the anime, it becomes useless after a while, being frequently broken through to show how strong the enemy is. |
| 84 | * AfroAssKicker: His hairstyle is sort of an afro and he can be quite badass when the situation calls for it. |
| 85 | * BigEater: He's often seen eating a lot more than anyone in the team, whether he's eating with the others or simply having a snack. For instance, he had ten plates of noodles and would have ordered yet another had it not been for Tsunami's attempt to encourage him to create a hissatsu together, which made him lose his appetite. |
| 86 | * TheBigGuy: Physically, he is the most massive member and has a lot of physical strenght, as he's able to take hits others can't even when his hissatsus don't work. In terms of personality, he subverts this, for being a cowardly GentleGiant. |
| 87 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: The big guy to Kurimatsu and Megane's little guys. |
| 88 | * ButtMonkey: Thanks to TheWorfEffect and because he's often a victim of Kogure's pranks. |
| 89 | * CoolBigBro: At least his brother considers him to be this, boasting of how his team defeated Teikoku. And proves to be when he helps his team win with the Inazuma Otoshi. |
| 90 | * CowardlyLion: Although he gets scared easily, he can be pretty awesome when he overcomes his fears, most prominently in the episode where he had trouble doing the Inazuma Otoshi due to his fear of heights, but after getting over it he manages to master it and help his team score. |
| 91 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Despite being rather goofy and childish in addition to being easily scared, he's quite capable as a player (unless he suffers from TheWorfEffect) ''and'' he's the only one from the original team besides Endou who doesn't leave the team in season 2. |
| 92 | * DishingOutDirt: Both "The Wall" and "The Mountain" are earth-related techniques. |
| 93 | * FaceYourFears: When he is assigned the task to master the Inazuma Otoshi with Gouenji, he struggles at first due to his fear of heights, which he has to overcome. He succeeds. |
| 94 | * GentleGiant: Despite his big size, he's very bashful and cowardly, but also nice. |
| 95 | * {{Gonk}}: Because of his fat and disproportionate body, big nose, big lips and weird hairstyle, his design is clearly not one of the best. |
| 96 | * InSeriesNickname: His title is "[[GentleGiant Kind-hearted Giant]]" according to his Eleven License. |
| 97 | * MeaningfulName: "Kabe" means "wall" and "yama" means "mountain". His signature hissatsu is "The Wall" and later "The Mountain". |
| 98 | * NighttimeBathroomPhobia: In episode 24, he's scared to go to the bathroom alone at night out of fear he might see a ghost, much to Handa's annoyance. |
| 99 | * RhymeThemeNaming: Also a FamilyThemeNaming. In the dub, his name Jack rhymes with that of his brother, Zack. |
| 100 | * RollingAttack: Super Armadillo, in-game. |
| 101 | * RunningGag: He always has to go to a restroom when nervous. |
| 102 | * StoneWall: He's very strong, blocks very well ([[TheWorfEffect in the game, at least]]) and is able to take hits that send other people to hospital, which is the reason why he's one of the few characters that never leave the team at any point. However, he doesn't have any offensive moves and he's unable to move fast without getting tired. |
| 103 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Often seen with Kurimatsu in season 2 and 3 and with Megane when the former is PutOnABus. |
| 104 | * VerbalTic: Adds "-ssu" to the ends of his sentences. |
| 105 | * VocalDissonance: His voice is relatively high-pitched for somebody of his size. |
| 106 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He's initially scared of heights of any kind, which become a problem when he has to perform a hissatsu that recquires high jumping, but he manages to overcome it thanks to the others' determination. |
| 107 | * TheWorfEffect: Mainly "The Wall", which is very useful in the game to stop upcomming forwards, but rarely works in the anime post season 1. Slightly justified in that the series wouldn't have been about Endou if Kabeyama had blocked every shoot, and Alieas Academy starting out leauges above everyone else, but still. |
| 108 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: It's hard to believe he's actually one of the ''younger'' characters when he looks like he's anything but. |
| 109 | |

| 114 | ''"The team's mood-maker whose great courage makes up for his small size."'' |
| 115 | |
| 116 | * AdvertisedExtra: For somebody who appears in ''Outer Code'' you'd expect he would appear in the actual ''Ares'' anime and play against the protagonist's team. He doesn't. |
| 117 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: The little guy to Kabeyama's big guy. |
| 118 | * TheCaptain / RedArmbandOfLeadership: Becomes Raimon's captain by the end of the series. |
| 119 | * TheCameo: He briefly appears at the end of episode 5 of ''Outer Code'' alongside his family. |
| 120 | * CheerfulChild: One of the youngest and smallest members, with a cheerful, fun-loving personality. |
| 121 | * DespairEventHorizon: He crosses it after The Genesis make both Endou and Kazemaru cross it and cause the latter to leave the team. He himself loses his will and leaves the team as well. |
| 122 | * GoofyBuckteeth: He's one of the more "comedic" characters in the main cast, and has buck teeth. |
| 123 | * {{Keet}}: Aside from a few moments of self-doubt or concern about his teammates, he's mostly upbeat and positive. |
| 124 | * MeaningfulName: "Kuri" means "chestnut". His hairstyle makes him look like one and he's shown to like chestnuts. |
| 125 | * MassivelyNumberedSiblings: As seen in ''Ares'', he has three younger brothers. |
| 126 | * PointlessBandaid: He wears a bandaid on his nose as an accessory. |
| 127 | * ProductPlacement: Owns a DS, and is seen playing it in the series' earliest cutscenes. |
| 128 | * PutOnABus: In both season 2 and 3. |
| 129 | ** In season 2, he leaves the team on his own because The Genesis broke down both Endou and Kazemaru, which made him unable to tolerate the situation any longer and comes back at the end of the season, where him among other players that left the team become the Dark Emperors. |
| 130 | ** In season 3, Coach Kudou takes him off the team after the match against The Empire due to being injured and gets replaced by [[TheBusCameBack Fubuki]]. |
| 131 | * SparedByTheAdaptation: In the game, he gets badly injured by Gran in Osaka, while in the anime, he instead crosses the DespairEventHorizon and leaves the team on his own after Kazemaru did the same. |
| 132 | * ShortTeensTallAdults: He's noticeably shorter than his teammates, who themselves are rather short for their age, with most adults dwarfing them in size. |
| 133 | * ThemeNaming: Like his siblings mentioned above, his first name ends with "-pei". |
| 134 | * ThoseTwoGuys: Often seen with Kabeyama. |
| 135 | * VerbalTic: Replaces "desu" with "deyansu". |

| 141 | ''"He is becoming the team's key-man by developing his own pace."'' |
| 142 | |
| 143 | * AdaptedOut: In the manga, where he's replaced by Tamano Gorou. |
| 144 | * ButtMonkey: Not as much as Kabeyama or Megane, but he has his moments of misfortune and his English bio describes him as being a victim of his teammate's jokes. |
| 145 | * EvilRedhead: As a Dark Emperor. |
| 146 | * EyesOutOfSight: His eyes are always hidden by his hair. |
| 147 | * FunnyAfro: His first idea of a hissatsu is one involving two soccer balls in his afro. And when he creates his first proper hissatsu, [[BoisterousBruiser Someoka]] gives him friendly noogies, messing his hair in the process. |
| 148 | * GotVolunteered: He was the first to try Endou's idea to stop a tyre tied to a tree in episode 5 only because everybody else backed off, showing that they chose him. Instead of stopping it, he gets thrown in the air. |
| 149 | * HammerspaceHair: Attempts to create a hissatsu with his head, but fails. Granted, two soccer balls in one afro is still impressive. |
| 150 | -->''Shadow Hair!!'' |
| 151 | * YouthfulFreckles: He has some freckles and due to being a first-year, he is one of the younger members. |

| 159 | * AscendedFanboy: He's a fan of Manyuuji because of their martial arts skills. At the end of the second game, he becomes an honorary member. |
| 160 | * BadassAdorable: Justified, as he looks like a little kid who's shown to be quite capable at martial arts. |
| 161 | * [[spoiler: BaldOfEvil: As a Dark Emperor.]] |
| 162 | * FastballSpecial: In their Dark Emperor versions, he and Shishido learn a technique called Shooting Star, which involves his partner throwing him high in the air before doing a powerful kick towards the opponent. |
| 163 | * GlassCannon: His kicks are shown to be powerful, as seen when he frees Kabeyama who got stuck into a locker with a powerful kick, but he's rather physically weak and gets taken down rather easily, mainly seen in the matches against Zeus and Gemini Storm. |
| 164 | * InSeriesNickname: Usually just called Shourin. Timmy in the English dub. |
| 165 | * MeaningfulName: "Shourin" might be derived from "Shaolin", in refference to his martial arts skills. |
| 166 | * OlderThanHeLooks: Looks like he's several years younger than other characters, despite being only one year younger. |
| 167 | * OutOfFocus: He has a few hissatsu moves that contributes to the team, but outside of that, his personality and development aren't explored compared to the more outgoing members of the team. |
| 168 | * UnusualEyebrows: They kinda look like [[Webcomic/HetaliaAxisPowers England's.]] |
| 169 | * UseYourHead: Kung-Fu Head is a technique in which he shoots the ball towards the goal with his head. |
| 170 | * WingdingEyes: His eyes are naturally "+'s". He's not dead or dazed though. |

| 185 | * InformedAbility: His actual status in the game is forward, but he never plays that position, instead playing as a midfielder. |
| 186 | * InstantExpert: Well, not ''instant'', but he does catch on new sports pretty quick. |
| 187 | * NeverBareheaded: He is never seen without a hat with cat ears. He even has a special one for sleeping. |
| 188 | * JumpedAtTheCall: In the first episode, when Endou was searching for more members for the soccer club. He joined it because he wanted "to cure his boredom". |
| 189 | * OutOfFocus: He's part of the original Raimon with little screentime or depth to his character. This almost got subverted in season 3, but he failed to make it onto Inazuma Japan. |
| 190 | * ShadingColourDissonance: Despite having ginger hair, it's shaded black in the manga panels, similarly to the more dark-haired characters. |

| 196 | ''"The color of his eyes is a mystery thanks to his fringe."'' |
| 197 | |
| 198 | * AttentionWhore: He joined the soccer club becasue he wanted to be more appreciated, so he might not have had many friends before. |
| 199 | * TheBenchwarmer: After Domon joins the team, he gets demoted to reserve player for the rest of the first season. However, one of the Inazuma Eleven veterans, who was a reserve player himself in his youth, teaches him that he shouldn't hold back because of this. |
| 200 | * CastingAShadow: He knows a few shadow hissatsus in the game. |
| 201 | * DarkIsNotEvil: He might be gloomy and he often has a black aura, but he's still genuinely nice. Coincidentally, his name means almost the same thing. |
| 202 | * EyesOutOfSight: He has long V-shaped bangs which always obscure his eyes, giving him a ghostly-appearance. |
| 203 | * FirstNameBasis: In the video games, he is one of the few male characters (and the only one for his team) who are reffered to by their given name. Averted in the anime, where he is called by his last name, just like the other guys. |
| 204 | * JumpedAtTheCall: In the first episode, when Endou was looking for more members to join the soccer club, he joined it because he wanted his presence to be more visible. |
| 205 | * MeaningfulName: "Kage" means "shadow", something he considers himself due to failing to be noticed. |
| 206 | * NightmareFetishist: He is interested in dark and supernatural things, particularly ghosts. |
| 207 | * OutOfFocus: Just like the other members that only play for the main team in season 1. Perhaps even more so, because he spends most of the season as a reserve who's used only twice to replace an injured member, and he has one of the smallest record of matches he played of any member who joined the team. |
| 208 | * TheQuietOne: To the point that other characters tend to freak out when he speaks. |
| 209 | * RunningGag: He always scares other people when he appears out of nowhere or when they don't expect him to speak (which they never do). |
| 210 | * ShrinkingViolet: At least it's heavily implied, given his withdrawn and quiet nature, low self-esteem, hair covering his eyes and downright admiting at one point that he felt nervous after a simple conversation. |
| 211 | * SpinAttack: Coil Turn is a defense technique that involves spinning fast around the opponent in order to confuse them. |
| 212 | * StealthHiBye: Often comes up behind people unnoticed. |

| 222 | * AscendedExtra: As a result of more than half of the Season 1 Raimon players getting PutOnABus both at the start of and throughout Season 2, he ends up playing in a lot more matches in Season 2 than he did in Season 1 and gets more focus as a result, though he's still [[TheBenchwarmer always on the bench]] whenever the team has more than 11 players, save for the brief time between Tsunami joining the team and [[spoiler:Gouenji [[TheBusCameBack rejoining the team]]]], during which time [[spoiler:Fubuki is on the bench instead due to suffering from HeroicBSOD]]. |
| 223 | * AwesomenessByAnalysis: Specializes in these kinds of hissatsu. |
| 224 | * BackupTwin: In the start of the 3rd season, it's revealed he has a younger (and much better in athletics) identical twin called Megane Kazuto, who ''would'' have been this if he'd been accepted into Inazuma Japan; as Kakeru moves on to become a manager. |
| 225 | * TheBenchwarmer: Due to being the weakest player in the Raimon team, he spends most of the matches on the bench, especially in season 1. He starts playing a bit more during the Aliea Academy Arc, since a lot of the original members are forced out of the team throughout the season. |
| 226 | * BerserkButton: He hates when other people name a hissatsu before him (unless he admits that it has a good name) or steal his line when he wants to explain something. |
| 227 | * BrainyBrunette: He has brown hair and he's quite nerdy. |
| 228 | * ButtMonkey: He's often not taken seriously or insulted by his teammates, especially when he tries to brag about things they know he isn't good at and fails humourously when he tries to prove them wrong. He's also the victim of many humourous gags. |
| 229 | * CombatCommentator: His main job is to name new techniques, sometimes in the middle of the matches, or explain various things about the game's rules and often gets upset when somebody else does so before him. |
| 230 | * GenreSavvy: He proves to be more of one than Shuuyou Meito when he figures out the animes which inspired them to cheat and divulges their secrets. |
| 231 | * HeroicSacrifice: Non-lethal, but in the match versus Shuuyou Meito he injures himself when he bounces the ball with his face to redirect it into the goal and help his team score. |
| 232 | * IdenticalTwinIDTag: The Megane twins look almost identical, with the exception that Kakeru has blue glasses and one spike on each sides of his head, while Kazuto has purple glasses and two spikes on each side. |
| 233 | * JokeCharacter His stats are rather underwhelming across the board... |
| 234 | ** LethalJokeCharacter: ..but from the second game onwards, he starts learning incredibly powerful moves like [[spoiler:''God Break'']] at high levels. |
| 235 | * JumpedAtTheCall: When Endou was searching for new members for the soccer club, he accepted this offer, but rather than joining it from the start, he waited until the team has only one member left so he could be "the hero who saves the team". However, he changes his mind after seeing how his teammates fell one after another because of Teikoku and from then on, he's almost always on the bench. |
| 236 | * MeaningfulName: "Megane Kakeru" literally means "wearing glasses" and he's the only member of the team who wears glasses. |
| 237 | * NerdGlasses: He wears the variant with thin and large frames, though they mainly seem large because of his small eyes. |
| 238 | ** ScaryShinyGlasses: Used as a joke. |
| 239 | * NonActionGuy: Depending. Aside from the match against Shuuyou Meito, he doesn't really contribute with anything besides naming techniques in season 1, and the few times he plays aren't very good. He does play in most of the matches in season 2 (mainly as a filler spot, though), but becomes a full example of this trope in season 3 when he's demoted to manager. |
| 240 | * TheOneGuy: In the anime and game, he is the only manager in Inazuma Japan who is a guy. |
| 241 | * {{Otaku}}: He takes advantage of this when they have to play against a team of Otaku because he's able to figure out how the opponents cheated using a method they had seen in an anime. |
| 242 | * RunningGag: He (almost) always gets upset when somebody names a hissatsu before him. |
| 243 | * SmallNameBigEgo: Claims to be a soccer ace. He's really not. |
| 244 | * TheSmartGuy: The most analytical and technologically gifted member of the team, but doesn't have much skills in soccer compared to Kidou. |
| 245 | * ThemeTwinNaming: '''Ka'''keru has a twin brother named '''Ka'''zuto. |
| 246 | * ThisLoserIsYou: Perhaps unintentional, but surely many watchers can relate with how poor they are in sports of any sort. |
| 247 | * TooDumbToLive: He once fell in the ocean after going overboard in an attempt to see a coral in closer view, despite being warned not to do that and knowing well that he can't swim. Had it not been for Tsunami, he could have drowned. |

| 253 | ''"Used to live in the USA. Behaves flippantly, but is deep-hearted."'' |
| 254 | |
| 255 | * AdaptedOut: He's one of the characters who don't appear in the manga adaptation. |
| 256 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: He's fairly dark-skinned, which isn't explained by him being Japanese and American and flashbacks show that he had this colour when he was younger. |
| 257 | * TheAtoner: Briefly in-game, vowing to chase Fuyukai when he plots for the Raimon Eleven to get into a bus accident. |
| 258 | * BadLiar: He lied as [[spoiler: TheMole and keeping the secret that Ichinose still needed surgery to Aki]]. The only reason why he never got caught in the first case was due to the team slowly becoming [[WideEyedIdealist more optimistic]] and he felt the same way, but didn't want her to be hurt. |
| 259 | * BecomingTheMask: At first, he joined Raimon as a spy sent from Teikoku, but joined the team for real after seeing how hard they were working. |
| 260 | * BrilliantButLazy: Only in his introduction as the new guy, though. |
| 261 | * CantCatchUp: One of the reasons why he ended up liking Raimon more than Teikoku is because he feels that he can catch up with the others, unlike with his former teammates. He also states that Endou is different from Ichinose, because unlike with the latter, who was always ahead of him, he can run and fight alongside Endou. |
| 262 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Ichinose, Aki, and Nishigaki. |
| 263 | * DemotedToExtra: He has a big role in the Football Frontier Arc because of his former role as a spy and his relationship with his childhood friends, as well as being one of the more active members on the field. In the Aliea Academy Arc, while he manages to be one of the few Season 1 Raimon players to avoid getting PutOnABus, he doesn't get as much focus besides mastering Death Zone 2, and is mostly OutOfFocus during the FFI Arc outside of the match between Inazuma Japan and Unicorn due to him playing for the latter team and is then PutOnABus afterwards. |
| 264 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: Mostly seen with his childhood friend Ichinose after the latter joins the team. |
| 265 | * InSeriesNickname: His title is "Samurai Defender" according to his Eleven License. |
| 266 | * TheMole: He was part of Teikoku until he joined Raimon as a spy. |
| 267 | ** EvenEvilHasStandards: He quits being a spy after finding out their coach, another spy from Teikoku, plots to blow up the bus Raimon were using. |
| 268 | ** HeelFaceTurn: Well, he wasn't really a bad guy in the first place, but apologizes for being a spy and joins the team for real. |
| 269 | * NewTransferStudent: He transferred from Teikoku to Raimon and joined their soccer club as a spy until BecomingTheMask. However, he goes back to America with Ichinose in the FFI arc, but they still come back for Raimon's graduation match. |
| 270 | * NiceGuy: He's generally a friendly and easy-going guy, which is why it didn't take long for him to enjoy his new team and pull a HeelFaceTurn. |
| 271 | * OddNameOut: In the first season, Domon is the only defender whose surname doesn't start with "K". |
| 272 | * PlayingWithFire: Volcano Cut. He roundhouses towards his target, making a wall of flames spouting out from the ground, similar to a volcanic eruption. Another notable fire hissatsu he knows is The Phoenix with Ichinose and Endou. |
| 273 | * PutOnABus: He and Ichinose leave the team in season 3 to play in America's national team. |
| 274 | * SlideAttack: Killer Slide involves him doing a slide to kick the ball away from the opponent. |
| 275 | * TakingTheBullet: In the match against Teikoku, he gets injured when he deflects one of the shots with his face to help Endou defend. |

| 281 | ''"This comeback kid is known as the [[RedBaron midfield magician.]]"'' |
| 282 | |
| 283 | * TheAce: Especially in his debut episode, where he was on a higher level than anyone on the team, even Gouenji and Kidou. He's also known as a genius junior high player in general. |
| 284 | ** BrokenAce: After being injured by a car, he moved away for medical treatment, and although he was able to overcome this at first, in the third season he learns that his injuries hadn't healed completely and recquires another operation, with little chance that he'll be able to play soccer again if he pushes himself too far. He tried to give his best in the match against Inazuma Japan and even scored two goals, but also tried to hide his sadness from his former teammates because he didn't want them to go easy on him. |
| 285 | * AdaptedOut: He is one of the characters who don't appear in Tenya Yabuno's manga. |
| 286 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Domon felt he was always behind, not alongside, Ichinose. |
| 287 | * AnimalBattleAura: Tri-Pegasus shows, well, a pegasus, and later evolves to The Phoenix, in reference to him coming back from his supposed death. Another hissatsu with an animal aura he knows is Pegasus Shot. |
| 288 | * AscendedExtra: He wasn't supposed to show up until the Aliea Arc, but in the anime he joins the team near the end of the first arc. |
| 289 | ** His seiyuu was effectively confused by this. Kaji played the first game to get a grasp on Ichinose's character, only to find out he doesn't show up. He actually does show up, just in a hidden part of the game very few people bother to look for. |
| 290 | * BlowYouAway: Spinning Shoot. He creates a large whirlwind by spinning on his hands. |
| 291 | * BluntMetaphorsTrauma: Has a tendency to make mistakes in American sayings, but Aki corrects him. |
| 292 | * CannotSpitItOut: When he discovered he needs another surgery, he tried hiding his medical condition from most people in order to not worry them and because he really wanted to play against his former teammates. When he decided to tell Aki the truth, he hesitated, so he told her about joining a pro league team instead. |
| 293 | * ChildhoodFriends: With Aki, Domon, and Nishigaki. |
| 294 | ** ChildhoodFriendRomance: Hinted to have developed into one with Aki by ''GO'' when Tenma asks her if she had received any calls from America lately. |
| 295 | * ChildProdigy: He was very proficient at soccer back when he was younger and played for America's junior team. |
| 296 | * {{Determinator}}: He didn't give up easily during Unicorn's match against Inazuma Japan, despite the fact that his injuries from his accident hadn't healed completely and won't be able to play soccer again if he pushes himself too far. |
| 297 | * DistressedDude: A milder example, but after being tricked by Rika to eat her 'lovey-dovey dish', she says to his teammates that he has to marry her and the only way for Raimon to take him back is through a soccer match against Osaka Gals. |
| 298 | * FakingTheDead: After being injured by a car when he jumped on the road to save a puppy, he moved away for medical treatment and heard that he won't be able to play soccer again, so he requested his father to tell his friends that he had died. Fortunately, his medical treatment and love for soccer helped him overcome this obstacle and visited his friends in Japan to tell them the good news. |
| 299 | * ForeignExchangeStudent: He transfers to Raimon from his school in America after canceling his flight due to deciding to stay there for a while. He comes back to his school in America after the FFI, but still comes back to play in Raimon's graduation match. |
| 300 | * FriendlyRival: Even if he was taken off the second half due to his medical condition, he claims that it was fun to play against Endou and his former teammates during Unicorn's match against Inazuma Japan. |
| 301 | * HeroicSacrifice: Even in saving a puppy, it counts. |
| 302 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Domon. |
| 303 | * IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: [[spoiler:It seemed he was going to be set up as the UnluckyChildhoodFriend, and kept quiet when Aki tried to confess to Endou.]] |
| 304 | * ImpliedLoveInterest: According to Tenma's question if Aki had received any calls from America, he might have a romantic relationship with her in ''GO'', but it's never stated or confirmed to make it an OfficialCouple. |
| 305 | * InSeriesNickname: The Magician of the Field, as well as The Phoenix. |
| 306 | * LongDistanceRelationship: In ''GO'', Tenma asks Aki if she had received any recent calls from America, which hints to a romantic relationship between her Ichinose, who apparently still leaves in America. |
| 307 | * NiceGuy: He's especially nice to the girls and is shown to put their feelings above his own. Although he seems to have a crush on Aki, he doesn't show any grudge when he figures out she likes Endou and despite not liking Rika back in the way she does, he's usually patient with her and never snapped aside from a brief moment in the season 2 finale. |
| 308 | * PlayingWithFire: The Pheonix naturally falls under this, since it's based on the famous fire bird. He also learns Flame Dance, which involves him spinning upside down surrounded by flames. |
| 309 | * PosthumousCharacter: Subverted. He was just FakingTheDead. |
| 310 | * PutOnABus: He and Domon leave in the FFI arc to play in America's national team against Endou. |
| 311 | * SpinAttack: He has two hissatsu techniques that involve a spinning upside down motion: Spinning Shoot (a shoot hissatsu) and Flame Dance (a defense hissatsu). |
| 312 | * StepfordSmiler: When he learns he needs another operation, with a miniscule chance that he’d be able to play football ever again. |

| 319 | ''"Under her guidance, any problem can be solved in no time at all."'' |
| 320 | |
| 321 | * ActionGirl: More so in the video game since her "The Tower" hissatsu often gets broken through in the anime. |
| 322 | * AdaptationalWimp: In the game, her The Tower hissatsu is nearly unstoppable if you train her well. In the anime, it's almost always destroyed by the enemy, along with Kabeyama's The Wall. |
| 323 | * AlliterativeName: '''V'''ictoria '''V'''anguard in the dub. |
| 324 | * BlushSticker: In-game. |
| 325 | * TheCaptain: Of SP Fixers. Doesn't wear a RedArmbandOfLeadership, however. |
| 326 | * FieryRedhead: Although the fiery part comes more from being a passionate tomboy rather than being hot-tempered. |
| 327 | * TheGadfly: She often makes Aki and Natsumi jealous when she becomes too close to Endou. At first she did it unintentionally, but later she starts to do it on purpose, just to see their reactions, after which she states that she was joking. |
| 328 | * GenkiGirl: She's very positive and upbeat, almost loving soccer as much as Endou does. |
| 329 | * GoroawaseNumber: The number on her Inazuma Japan jersey is 105, which can be pronounced "to-ko", like her name. |
| 330 | * HairColorDissonance: Her hair is supposodely red, but it often looks more like a pink. |
| 331 | * MeaningfulName: "To" means "tower", named after her signature hissatsu "The Tower". |
| 332 | * NeverBareheaded: She always wears a blue hat with yellow and white markings, even when sleeping. Averted by her adult self, who stopped wearing a hat. |
| 333 | * PassionateSportsGirl: She really loves soccer as much as the boys. |
| 334 | * RoseHairedSweetie: Her pink hair supports her cheerful and tomboyish attitude. |
| 335 | * ShockAndAwe: In the game, the final step of The Tower involves the lightning striking the ball to stop it. In the anime, while the lightning is still present, it's the stone tower that (sometimes) stops the ball instead. |
| 336 | * TheSmurfettePrinciple: Before Rika joined the team, she was the only female player from Raimon. |
| 337 | * TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: Downplayed with her and Rika. They are both sporty girls, but Rika is generally more interested in feminine activities like cooking, fashion and cute guys compared to Touko (despite ironically being a richer girl). Touko is more level-headed and tends to get along well with everyone in the team, although she's not above annoying Aki and Natsumi by intentionally getting close to Endou. While Rika is not a complete meanie, she has some selfish moments, such as tricking Ichinose into marrying her (which ultimately doesn't happen) or pulling a PushedAtTheMonster on Touko and Haruna. |
| 338 | * ThoseTwoGirls: With Rika, particularly in season 3, where they're often watching the boys' matches and training sprees together. |
| 339 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The {{Tomboy}} to Rika's GirlyGirl. |
| 340 | * TwoGirlsToATeam: Her and Rika are the only girls from Raimon. |
| 341 | * VitriolicBestBuds: Despite often arguing with Rika and finding her antics annoying, it's made clear they are best friends. Especially made evident when Touko became concerned about Rika when the latter was captured by the angels and wanted to save her. |
| 342 | * TheWorfEffect: Her The Tower hissatsu starts out pretty strong in the first episodes, but it becomes weaker later to show how strong the enemy is. At least it gets a bit better after it evolves. |

| 350 | * AccidentalAthlete: How he first created Senpuujin. When he accidentally tripped over, he started spinning on his hands and managed to stop Desarm's shoot. |
| 351 | * ADayInTheLimelight: Episode 100 is one for him and Hiroto, although they don't get any CharacterDevelopment or learn any new techniques. |
| 352 | * AnimeAccentAbsence: Despite being from Kyoto, he speaks regular Japanese. |
| 353 | * BondingOverMissingParents: With Haruna, who tells him that she understands his feeling of losing his parents since she also lost her parents in an accident. However, Kogure tells her that it's not the same case as his, since he was downright abandoned by his mother. |
| 354 | * BlazingInfernoHellfireSauce: One of his most recurring pranks is to pour over people's food chilli sauce which literally sets heir mouth on fire. |
| 355 | * BlowYouAway: Senpuujin involves creating a whirlwind by spinning fast on his hands. |
| 356 | * BrattyHalfPint: In his introduction, he acts rude towards his teammates in Manyuuji because he believes they're against him. |
| 357 | * TheCaptain / RedArmbandOfLeadership: Becomes Manyuuji's captain by the end of the series. |
| 358 | * DevilishHairHorns: His hair is shaped into four horns, two on each side of his head, fitting his mischievous personality. |
| 359 | * DualModeUnit: In the second game, he's one of three characters who can use a special mechanic named Chara Change. His position stays the same, but in his normal form his default hissatsu is Senpuujin, while in his evil form it's the skill Yakubyougami. |
| 360 | * EvilLaugh: "Ushishishi". |
| 361 | * FragileSpeedster: Kogure is the fastest and most agile of the Raimon 2 and Inazuma Eleven defenders due to his martial arts and top-level ball control but he can’t take a hit outside of Senpujin and needs backup from the other defenders to mount an offensive counter attack. |
| 362 | * HiddenDepths: He didn't have the greatest childhood, so he gets excited over little things he hasn't experienced like plane flights and camping. |
| 363 | * HoistByHisOwnPetard: When he tries to prank Gouenji by putting chilli sauce in his food, he doesn't realize Gouenji already switched his plate with Kogure's, so he ends up being the one whose mouth catches fire. |
| 364 | * HypocriticalHumour: He gets angry when Someoka looks down on him, but he has no problem doing the same thing with other members, like Tachimukai. |
| 365 | * InferioritySuperiorityComplex: As Haruna realized, the reason why he prefers coming at his teammates who give him chores instead of letting him train, which makes him believe they don't think he's as good as them, through pranking them instead of through soccer, is because he's not confident in his own soccer. He gets over it pretty quickly with help from Haruna and his training with Furukabu. |
| 366 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He enjoys to mess up with people and insult them. But he can be nice if he wants and gets along well with Hiroto in episode 100. |
| 367 | * TheNapoleon: Very short but very rude and impulsive. |
| 368 | * OlderThanHeLooks: Lampshaded by Hijikata in episode 86. In his snazzy little tux, he looked like he was going to the ''Shichi-Go-San'' festival[[note]] which is a Japanese rite of passage for 3, 5, and 7 year-olds.[[/note]] |
| 369 | * ParentalAbandonment: His mother abandoned him at a train station when he was younger, which is what caused him to become a {{Jerkass}} who enjoys to mess up with people. |
| 370 | * PointyEars: He isn't inhuman, but his devil-like ears still suit his personality pretty well. |
| 371 | * PowerOfTrust: After being abandoned by his mother, he stopped trusting other people, even when they actually mean well, so he needs to learn this. And says he had by the end of Season 2. |
| 372 | * ThePrankster: He ''loves'' to prank other people. He doesn't care who the person is, but [[ButtMonkey Kabeyama and Megane]] in particular are victims of his pranks. The only one who has the slightest control over his pranks is Haruna and even she came at him once when she gave him a frog. |
| 373 | * RunningGag: Chili sauce in people's food, of course. And shaking hands with Haruna, only for him to give her a frog. |
| 374 | * SpinAttack: Senpuujin involves him spinning fast on his hands to stop an incomming ball. |
| 375 | * SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: In season 2 and 3, he takes Shourin's place as the little guy skilled in martial arts. Personality-wize, however, he's a lot more childish and naughty than him. |

| 384 | * ActionGirl: She's the captain and forward of an entire team of action girls. |
| 385 | * AmbiguouslyBrown: What makes it more confusing is that her mother is white, so either her DisappearedDad is dark-skinned or she's just heavily tanned. |
| 386 | * BareMidriffsAreFeminine: She's a GirlyGirlWithATomboyStreak who ties all her soccer uniforms into a knot to expose her midriff. In contrast, [[{{Tomboy}} Touko]] and the boys wear their shirts normally. |
| 387 | * TheCaptain / RedArmbandOfLeadership: Of CCC Osaka Gals. |
| 388 | * {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: The girl is a scatterbrain with ideas that come right the hell out of nowhere, has numerous ShipTease fantasies that wouldn't make any sense, and is bizarre even for Endou and Touko to handle at times. |

| 390 | * DamselInDistress: For a short arc in the FFI, set up to wed the Demon Lord. |
| 391 | * DeepSouth: In the dub, as the standard AccentAdaptation of her Osakan roots. Her last name spells it out pretty clearly. |
| 392 | * DisappearedDad: Her conversation with her mom when she brings Ichinose to her house for the first time reveals her father left them. |
| 393 | * TheIdiotFromOsaka: Rika and her team are from Osaka, but she is far from the brightest ball in the shed. She also isn't intelligent outside of soccer. |
| 394 | * LoveAtFirstSight: In her debut episode, she falls in love with Ichinose the moment she sees him. |
| 395 | * LoveFreak: She's obsessed with romance and the interactions betweenother characters that she sees as potential couples. This includes: |
| 396 | ** She's awfully interested in Touko and Tsunami's interactions, but that ship never sets sail. |
| 397 | ** She later becomes interested in an Endou/Fuyuka pairing when she notices the latter's concern with trying to help Endou come up with an idea for a new hissatsu. She tricks Fuyuka into following some tips that will inspire Endou which are really just tips for a date, but in the end Rika's plan backfired due to Endou [[ChasteHero knowing nothing about romance]]. In this case, she doubles as TheMatchmaker. |
| 398 | * NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Towards Ichinose, she always gets too close to him for his comfort. |
| 399 | * PassionateSportsGirl: The other thing is passionate about besides romance is soccer. |
| 400 | * PetalPower: Rose Splash. When Rika shoots the ball towards the goal, the trajectory is covered by a trail of roses. |
| 401 | * ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections: After buying lots of stuff from the Liocotte Island, she suggests Touko to call up the FFI Administration Committee and have them send a limousine so they'll take care of all the baggage and believes they can get away with this if they tell them that Touko is the Prime Minister's daughter. Touko isn't exactly supportive of the prospect. |
| 402 | * SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: Claims to be in a romantic relationship with Ichinose and introduces him to her mother as her boyfriend. Doesn't realise he's not interested in her, even when he explicitly tries to tell her that he's not her boyfriend. |
| 403 | * SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: She doesn't appear at all in the "Maji de Kansha" opening. |
| 404 | * SmallNameBigEgo: She considers herself the best striker in the team, or as she prefers to say, "The Queen of the field". While not as bad as Megane, this is still far from the truth. When she tries to steal the ball from Gouenji during practice to prove herself, she loses it immediately. Also, Gouenji, Fubuki and Aphrodi have stronger hissatsu that score better, while Rika rarely managed to score with any of her techniques. |
| 405 | * SupremeChef: Makes excellent Okonomiyaki, as seen when Ichinose liked her "Lovey-Dovey-Dish". Justified, since her mother works in a restaurant. |
| 406 | * TenderTomboyishnessFoulFemininity: Downplayed with her and Touko. They are both sporty girls, but Rika is generally more interested in feminine activities like cooking, fashion and cute guys compared to Touko (despite ironically being a richer girl). Touko is more level-headed and tends to get along well with everyone in the team, although she's not above annoying Aki and Natsumi by intentionally getting close to Endou. While Rika is not a complete meanie, she has some selfish moments, such as tricking Ichinose into marrying her (which ultimately doesn't happen) or pulling a PushedAtTheMonster on Touko and Haruna. |
| 407 | * ThoseTwoGirls: With Touko. |
| 408 | * TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The GirlyGirl to Touko's {{Tomboy}}. She's as interested in soccer as Touko, but unlike her, she's also interested in things like love and fashion and has an overall more feminine casual outfit. |

| 417 | * AscendedFanboy: He was originally a big fan of Endou who aspired to be a goalkeeper and learned to do his hissatsu techniques by watching him on television. He ends up being his teammate and even fulfills his role as a goalkeeper when Endou plays as a libero. |
| 418 | * TheBenchwarmer: As the reserve goalkeeper of Inazuma Japan, he is the member who played the least matches in the Football Frontier International. He only played as a goalkeeper when Endou was benched at the beginning of the match against Fire Dragon and when Endou was absent during the match against The Empire. He also played as a midfielder once, against Desert Lion. |
| 419 | * BigBrotherMentor: Plays this role to Shinsuke when the latter assumes the goalkeeper post in ''GO''. |

| 424 | * IrritationIsTheSincerestFormOfFlattery: He became a fan of Endou after watching him on television and learned his hissatsu techniques as a result. After Kogure calls him a copycat, he becomes determined to learn his own unique hissatsu. |
| 425 | * LethalChef: He's oblivious to the fact that his food is too spicy since he likes spicy food. |
| 426 | * MegaManning: He was able to copy God Hand just by watching Endou repeatedly on TV. |
| 427 | * PowerOfTheGodHand: He has a blue version of the God Hand. |

| 429 | * UnaffectedBySpice: He enjoys spicy food, and actually foils one of Kogure's pranks by shrugging off the heat from a dish that Kogure had sabotaged by adding a fiery sauce to. Kogure tries the same dish and instantly regrets it. |
| 430 | * TheWorfEffect: His main goalkeeping hissatsu, Mugen The Hand, is often broken through and after a while it doesn't work without evolving and then the circle repeats itself. Justified, he's a first year rookie that needs to catch to the number one soccer team, aliens, and the rest of the world. |

| 440 | * AstonishinglyAppropriateAppearance: His hair resembles a starfish, which is appropriate given his connection to the sea. |
| 441 | * BigBrotherMentor: To Tachimukai in season 3, helping him master his new unique hissatsu, and to Tenma in the ''GO'' game, whom he encourages when the latter is given the role of the captain. |

| 450 | * InformedAbility: His status as a defender is pretty much this in the anime, since he doesn't have any individual defensive techniques, only offensive. In fact, when Tachimukai wanted to learn a new [=GK=] technique and the first-years tried to help him, he ended up being more helpful than them for having stronger kicks, despite being a defender like them. |
| 451 | * InnocentlyInsensitive: Since he's laid-back and doesn't mind being treated oddly by others (e.g.being addressed without honorifics by the juniors), he doesn't realise when he says something offensive to others, like annoying Touko for stating soccer is easier than surfing and the managers for saying they look better than he thought when he sees them in their formal dresses. |

| 453 | * MakingASplash: He has water based hissatsus. |

| 456 | * MrFanservice: He has a good number of shirtless scenes, mostly in the second season, he has a nice tan and he's considered handsome by many in the fandom. It helps that he's also older than the others. |

| 460 | * ShirtlessScene: He has a lot of these due to being a surfer. |
| 461 | * SurferDude: He's introduced as a normal surfer dude and even after he starts to play soccer all his techniques are related to the sea and usually mentions it when making comparisons. In the dub, he also has the accent, often using words like "dude". |

| 476 | * OutOfFocus: The ''most'' out-of-focus member from Raimon, in no part due to playing for the team mostly off-screen. |
| 477 | * RefusalOfTheCall: He didn't join the Inazuma Caravan in season 2. It's not because he wouldn't have liked to, he just felt like his shoot wasn't ready yet. |
| 478 | * SpinAttack: Dark Tornado is similar in usage to Fire Tornado in that it involves a spinning in the air motion before shooting towards the goal. |
| 479 | * TeamMemberInTheAdaptation: In the video games, he's no more than a recurring scout character, therefore not a canon member for Raimon. In the anime, he becomes an official member in the last two seasons. |

| 536 | * AscendedExtra: Even though he was introduced in the second game, he wasn't relevant in the story mode until the third game, when he joined Inazuma Japan. And even then, he didn't have any significant plot (see OutOfFocus). In the anime, his role is expanded in both corresponding seasons. |

| 662 | * {{Bowdlerize}}: In the game, his team uses more dirty tricks to win the matches, including altering the match results by hacking into the FF's database and making the members of Raimon eat poisoned food at a Maid Cafe. In the anime, their dirty tricks resume to hissatsu techniques, like Goal Zurashi, which moves the goal away from the shot, Gorimuchuu, which is used to obscure the former hissatsu and Fake Ball, which involves the ball being replaced with a watermelon. |

| 736 | ** FriendlyEnemy: He sided with neither Fifth Sector or the rebellion. His objective was to help Kidokawa Seishuu repair their unity, and he showed a lot of respect for Raimon. |
| 737 | * TheAtoner: After his team loses to Raimon, he watches every match between them and Aliea and asks Endou to join them before the match against Diamond Dust to make up for his past mistakes, even telling them that he'll never use the Aqua of the Gods again. He helps them win the match and during the match against Chaos, he scores some points for them, but gets injured in the second half when he tries to get through their tough defense. He's also concerned about Fubuki and is an important factor in helping him recover from his split personality. |
| 738 | * BadassFingersnap: Heaven's Time is activated by him snapping his fingers, which creates a BulletTime, and after he goes past the slowed down opponents, he snaps his fingers again, which reverts time to normal ''and'' creates cyclones which send the opponents in the air. |
| 739 | * BreakOutCharacter: The fact that he was one of the characters voted the most by fans to join Inazuma Japan in ''Orion'' is what earned him a place in the team, meaning became part of the main team and for a longer time than when he joined Raimon in season 2. |
| 740 | * BulletTime: Heaven's Time allows him to stop or slow down time and dribble past the defence easily and after the effects wear off, the opponents are blown away. |

| 744 | * DudeLooksLikeALady: Very much so, but then again, he's supposed to be attractive; Several characters in the dub say he looks like a girl and sometimes call him "Girly Boy". In the manga ''[=HonoSuto=]! ~Gouenji no Hitorigoto~'', the Mukata triplets mistake him for one. |
| 745 | * ElementalHairColors: His blond hair fits his light element. |

| 748 | * HeelFaceTurn: After Zeus loses to Raimon, he sets aside the Aqua of the Gods and starts to train hard by himself. He then joins them for a while and helps them in the matches against Diamond Dust and Chaos, but leaves the team after getting injured in the latter match. |

| 754 | ** [[spoiler:The "not good" part is true only in the beginning. After his HeelFaceTurn he turns out to be [[LightIsGood quite likable]].]] |
| 755 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: Possibly the most exaggerated example. He's an AgentPeacock with extremely long hair. |
| 756 | * MistakenForRomance: Due to his appearance, the Mukata triplets mistake him for Gouenji's girlfriend when they see them hanging out at a fair. |
| 757 | * MundaneUtility: In one chapter from Gouenji's spinoff manga, he uses his technique Heaven's Time on goldfish, essentially stopping time for them, to help Gouenji catch some fish. |
| 758 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: His real name is Afuro, but the only one who ever calls him by his name is Tenma in the ''Chou Jigen Dream Match'' movie. Everybody else, including the commentators, calls him Aphrodi. |
| 759 | * PowerGivesYouWings: All his shot type hissatsu, God Knows and its evolved forms, involve him growing wings and flying up into the sky before storing his energy into the ball. |
| 760 | * PrettyBoy: Because he's named after the goddess of beauty, he's intentionally designed to look as pretty as possible. His introduction in Inazuma Japan Orion catches the girls' attention. |

| 762 | * SharpdressedMan: In ''GO'', he wears a black tuxedo with a white dress shirt underneath and a red tie. |

| 777 | * AloofAlly: In the third season. He prefers to solve his problems himself and even lied to Kidou and Sakuma about Kageyama not being on the island to stop him by himself. However, after the match against Team K, he finally starts to understand that he needs his friends and warms up to them. |

| 779 | * AmbitionIsEvil: After his father left his family, his mother told him to become stronger and not end up like his father, but he mistook what she meant and became power-hungry and arrogant. |
| 780 | * AnimalBattleAura: He's part of the Koutei Penguin 3gou trio along with Kidou and Sakuma. |
| 781 | * TheBenchwarmer: In the beginning, he is not allowed to play any matches for Inazuma Japan, mostly because he's used as a secret weapon and partially due to his lack of team spirit. He's first allowed of the bench during the match against Fire Dragon and later becomes more used on the field. |
| 782 | * BreakTheHaughty: He was benched during the Asian preliminaries in the third season, much to his displeasure, and didn't get a single chance to play until the match against Fire Dragon in the final, when the coach revealed he was their secret weapon. |
| 783 | * TheCaptain / RedArmbandOfLeadership: Of Shin Teikoku. |
| 784 | * ConfusionFu: His playmaking depended on his tactics' unpredictability. |
| 785 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: His father became a {{Scapegoat}} for his boss's mistakes, so he resigned from his job and the family was forced to be on the move, always being hunted by debt collectors. When his mother urged Fudou to become stronger, he takes it to the [[AmbitionIsEvil wrong]] [[TheDarkSide extremes]]. |

| 787 | * DelinquentHair: Sports a mowhawk with white streaks at the sides. |
| 788 | * DisappearedDad: His father left his family after he lost his job. |
| 789 | * DoesNotLikeSpam: He may dislike tomatoes, since he leaves them uneaten in one cafeteria scene. |
| 790 | * TheDragon: To Kageyama, in Shin Teikoku. Main reason why nobody in Inazuma Japan trusted him. |
| 791 | * EmbarrassingNickname: ''Don't'' address him as "Akki". |
| 792 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: As an adult, he has longer hair that is solid brown instead of the bi-colored mowhawk he had as a teenager. He became more sociable and nicer. |
| 793 | * GoroawaseNumber: On the jacket he wears in ''Galaxy'', there is the number 210 written on it, which can be read as "fu-do", like his name. |
| 794 | * HairTodayGoneTomorrow: As a child, he had his head full of hair rather than the mowhawk and the rest of his head bald he sports as a teenager. Inverted in ''GO'', where he has longer hair and no bald spots. |
| 795 | * {{Hypocrite}}: He makes fun of the others when they make combination hissatsus, despite the fact that he hasn't got a single individual hissatsu. |
| 796 | * ImageSong: ''Bad Boys Brothers' Blues''. |
| 797 | * InsultBackfire: When Goujin gets enthusiastic that he appears in the photo on the internet, Fudou snarks at the wild instinct he shows in the photo, but Goujin takes that as a compliment. |

| 801 | -->'''Sakanoue''': [[LampshadeHanging I think that sounded more like an insult]]. |
| 802 | * {{Jerkass}}: More so in season 2, where he started of as a sadistical SmugSnake with little to no redeeming qualities. |
| 803 | * JerkassHasAPoint: He's right when he says that Teikoku should win using their own abilities instead of relying on Kageyama's technology and Sakuma agrees with him. |
| 804 | -->'''Sakuma''': Only in times like this I agree with Fudou. |
| 805 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: He's rude, sarcastic, cynical, sharp-tongued and enjoys seeing people suffering, whether they're his teammates or rivals. However, he gains the "Heart of Gold" part: caring for his teammates, working with them on new hissatasu techniques, etc. after he TookALevelInKindness. |
| 806 | * LoserSonOfLoserDad: In actively avoiding this, he became resentful and arrogant. Go figure. |
| 807 | * ManipulativeBastard: With the power from the Aliea Crystal, he's able to convince Genda and Sakuma into joining Shin Teikoku. |
| 808 | * NewTransferStudent: In the penultimate episode of the anime, it is shown that he joined Teikoku. He is once again a transfer student in the ''Ares'' - ''Orion'' timeline. |
| 809 | * NonconformistDyedHair: Fudou Akio's hair is styled into a [[DelinquentHair mowhawk]], with some strands of hair dyed silver. He's an aloof, rebellious player, who until his Character Development, preferred to solve his problems by himself and mocked the idea of combination hissatsu techniques. As an adult, he mellowed down considerably and mentained some close friendships. [[ExpositoryHairstyleChange His hair grew out and he no longer dyes it]]. |
| 810 | * PerpetualPoverty: Heavily implied. His family became poor after his father lost his job and left the family and ten years later in ''GO'' he's found sleeping on a bench, implying he's still poor and homeless. |
| 811 | * PointyEars: In ''Ares'', he has noticeably pointier ears than in the original series. |
| 812 | * RealMenWearPink: His ''GO'' design features a hot pink jacket, which is possibly a CallBack to Emperor Penguin 3gou. |
| 813 | * RebelRelaxation: Since Kudou doesn't allow him to play in the Asian preliminaries [[spoiler: until Fire Dragon]], he usual ends up relaxing on a bench or an surface away from the team when he's not training. |
| 814 | * RedBaron: His title is "The Aloof Rebel" according to his Eleven License. |
| 815 | * ReformedButRejected: At first, nobody in Inazuma Japan trusts him because of his former relationship with Kageyama and his arrogant personality, but with the help from Endou and Kidou, he learns to coordinate better with the team and they finally accept him. |
| 816 | * RummageSaleReject: Some consider his ''GO'' design to be this. |
| 817 | * SmugSnake: During his time as a villain in season 2, he was a confident {{Jerkass}} who claimed Sakuma and Genda were second-rate players, but Kageyama was more disappointed in him for choosing them in the first place and failing to defeat Raimon. |
| 818 | * TookALevelInKindness: He starts to care more for his teammates after the match against Team K. |
| 819 | * {{Tsundere}}: Type A. He acts as if he doesn't care about his teammates' safety, but he actually does. |

| 830 | * TheCaptain / RedArmbandOfLeadership: Of Gemini Storm. |
| 831 | * {{Determinator}}: Midorikawa's desire to avoid CantCatchUp is one of his biggest strengths and weaknesses. His having strained himself cost him [[WeHardlyKnewYe being able to stay with Inazuma Japan longer]]. |
| 832 | * GlassCannon: Midorikawa is very fast, and has powerful shots. However, he has weak body and low stamina. This becomes a problem in the anime post HeelFaceTurn because he pushes himself too far as a member of Inazuma Japan. It works for a while and his hard work benefits by creating Lightning Accel to increase his speed, but even the new coach realizes that if he goes any further he might not be able to play soccer ever again after the Asian finals. |
| 833 | * GoodEyesEvilEyes: In his alien version, he has very narrow eyes. His normal version's eyes, while they still have a tsurime shape, are noticeably wider. |

Arguably, he's the second nicest after Hiroto. [[spoiler: When they eventually lose to Raimon as Neo Epsilon, he almost shakes Endou's hand until Gazelle arrives to return him back to base.]] |
| 848 | * AgeLift: In ''Ares'', he's one year younger than in the original timeline, like most members of Eisei Gakuen. Justified in his case, since due to being a third-year, he would have been already in highschool without the age change. |
| 849 | * TheCaptain / RedArmbandOfLeadership: Of Epsilon. And Neo Japan's as well. |
| 850 | * CurtainsMatchTheWindow: Black hair and black eyes, although it's the sclerae that is black rather than the iris. |
| 851 | * DualModeUnit: In the second game, he's one of three characters who can use a special mechanic named Chara Change. In his normal Desarm form, he's a goalkeeper with the default hissatsu Wormhole and in his Epsilon Kai form, he's a forward with the default hissatsu Ganymede Proton. |
| 852 | * DumbMuscle: In ''Ares'', he increased in muscle mass, but also [[TookALevelInDumbass decreased in intelligence]]. |
| 853 | * EeriePaleSkinnedBrunette: He fits the description perfectly, having pale skin and black hair and being without a doubt sinister. |
| 854 | * HeelFaceTurn: After Neo Epsilon lost to Raimon. [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor Bordered on becoming a Heel again]] due to [[RefusedByTheCall not being selected for the national selections]]. Becomes truly a Face by Neo Japan's loss. |
| 855 | * InSeriesNickname: His title is "Passionate Adversarial Keeper" according to his Eleven License. |
| 856 | * JackOfAllStats: Really, he is currently the only character who played all four positions in the anime. In the original series, he played as a goalkeeper in his Desarm form in Epsilon, as a forward in Epsilon Kai and as a midfielder in his normal form in Neo Japan. In Ares, he played as a goalkeeper again, first in Eisei Gakuen and then in Inazuma Japan (although he didn't do too much in the latter case), but also played as a defender in the match against Soccer Acrobatic Troupe and changed his position to midfielder before the match against Perfect Spark. |
| 857 | * OneSteveLimit: In the dub he's one of at least three characters named David, along with David Samford (Sakuma) and David Evans (Daisuke). |
| 858 | * OverlyLongGag: His letter to Inazuma Japan. |
| 859 | * PointyEars: He loses them after he gets released from the effect of the Aliea Meteorite, showing that he isn't an alien as everyone believed. |
| 860 | * PowerGivesYouWings: He's able to copy Aphrodi's God Knows hissatsu during Neo Japan's match against Inazuma Japan with the help from two Zeus members. |
| 861 | * RedEyesTakeWarning: When his team takes revenge for losing to Raimon the last time, they become Epsilon Kai and all the members get completely red [[GlowingEyesOfDoom glowing eyes]]. |
| 862 | * RefusedByTheCall: |
| 863 | ** The sole Aliea captain to not become part of a national team. It hits him, hard. |
| 864 | ** Averted in ''Orion'', though, where he gets selected to join Inazuma Japan. |
| 865 | * ScarfOfAsskicking: His hair is shaped like a scarf and gives this impression. |
| 866 | * SpaceMaster: Worm Hole warps space and time for the ball traveling towards him to land in a net devoid it of it's strength. [[spoiler: Fubuki trained forever to break through it, and Eternal Blizzard only overpowered Worm Hole once]]. |
| 867 | * TechnicolorEyes: He has orange eyes which also get a black sclera when he's affected by the Aliea meteorite. |
| 868 | * ThisIsADrill: Drill Smasher creates a giant metallic drill on his hand to pierce through incoming shots and it's Desarm's trump card in case Worm Hole was ever overpowered. [[spoiler: It easily defended against Fubuki's Eternal Blizzard in episode 42 but but lost to Gouenji's Bakunetsu Storm in episode 52.]] |
| 869 | * TrainingFromHell: He went through this not once, but ''twice'' as Neo Ellipson and training for Neo Japan, often pushing himself to the very core in order to surpass his fellow Aliea commanders who made it to the national teams except for him. While said training made him stronger, it almost brought to a FaceHeelTurn lustinf for victory until his teammates remind him of the fun they had improving. |

| 911 | * AdoptiveNameChange: Because he resembles Kira Seijirou's deceased son, his original given name was changed to Hiroto. |

| 913 | * AgeLift: In ''Ares'', he's one year younger than in the original timeline, like most members of Eisei Gakuen. |
| 914 | * AmbiguouslyGay: One ''Inazuma Eleven SD'' comic reveals that Midorikawa and Hiroto are both Kariya's legal guardians, but whether they're actually married or it's just a case of PlatonicCoParenting has yet to be revealed. |
| 915 | * BenevolentBoss: In GO. Most of his employees are his friends. |
| 916 | * BreakoutCharacter: He is easily one of the most popular characters from Aliea Academy, his popularity is still going strong to this day. |
| 917 | * TheCaptain / RedArmbandOfLeadership: Of Genesis. Incidentally, the Genesis captain's band is actually blue. In the anime, he also takes the lead of Inazuma Japan during the second half of the Argentina match. In ''Ares'', he is the captain of Eisei Gakuen. |
| 918 | * ChallengeSeeker: He shows bits of this when he seeks out Raimon for a match. |
| 919 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Depending on when he's Gran or Kiyama. |
| 920 | * FirstNameBasis: One of the few male characters who are mostly called by their first name. |
| 921 | * EasilyForgiven: He didn't even think twice to forgive his father for all his misdeeds. |
| 922 | * EvilRedhead: More like a redhead AntiVillain, but still. |
| 923 | ** MyMasterRightOrWrong: If there's any reason this guy ever ends up being evil, it's this. |
| 924 | * EvenEvilHasStandards: When his father told him to release the limiter, which is a device to hold back the power they have actually gained through training, he refused because he didn't want to hurt his teammates' bodies. |
| 925 | * HappilyAdopted: He cares a lot for his adoptive father and sister. |
| 926 | * HeelFaceTurn: Well, he's not [[AffablyEvil really a bad guy in the first place]], but like the rest of Aliea Academy, he quits being an "alien" by the end of Season 2 and becomes one of the main heroes in season 3. |
| 927 | * HorribleCampingTrip: Inverted: It started out badly, ends almost too awesomely and both he and Kogure never realized that the time haven't even gone by yet. |
| 928 | ** NoSenseOfDirection: But hey, who can still rely on their sense of direction in a magical forest with magical creatures anyway? ; the good news is, at least he knows how to set up a camp for the night. |

| 938 | * ReplacementGoldfish: And he's completely fine with it. He knew that he's just a replacement of the real Hiroto for his 'father', but still forgives and loves him either way. |
| 939 | * ScienceIsBad: Inverted. His love for technology is obviously there throughout the series, and he doesn't believe in old folklores like Kappas, [[spoiler:until he meets one]]. |
| 940 | * SmartPeopleWearGlasses: He is shown to be skilled with computers and science. In ''GO'', he started to wear glasses. |
| 941 | * StealthHiBye: Just like any other member of Aliea Academy that is. In their first meeting, Hiroto disappears after Endou turned his back for a few seconds to take a soccer ball, he thought that Hiroto's a ghost. |
| 942 | * TakingTheBullet: When Ulvida (with the limiter still off, mind you) [[spoiler:kicked a soccer ball against their father]]. It’s bad enough for Hiroto to be taken away in an ambulance in the game version. |
