| 9 | ->Voiced by: Creator/YokoOgai (in ''Captain Tsubasa'', the first half of ''Captain Tsubasa J'' and ''Tatakae Dream Team'' smartphone game), Creator/NozomuSasaki (second half of ''Captain Tsubasa J''), Creator/KikukoInoue (as a child in ''Road to 2002'', first half), Creator/TomokazuSeki (''Road to 2002'', second half), Creator/YukoSanpei (2018-2023 anime); [[Creator/ElsaCovian Elsa Covián]] and Jorge Roig Jr. (''Captain Tsubasa''), Gustavo Melgarejo (''Captain Tsubasa J''), [[Creator/BenjaminRivera Benjamín Rivera]] (''Road to 2002''), Rosalinda Márquez (2018 anime, child), Emilio Ángeles (2018-2023 anime, teenager) [Latin American Spanish dub], Teresa Acaso (''Captain Tsubasa''), Creator/JorgeSaudinos (''Captain Tsubasa J'' and ''Road to 2002'') [European Spanish dub] |
| 10 | |
| 11 | The protagonist of the story, his dream is to one day win the World Cup for Japan. As a ChildProdigy, he was captain of his school Nankatsu's varsity team, and became the youngest captain of Japan's U-17 in the Youth World Cup. After graduation, he turned professional and played for both Sao Paulo in Brazil and Barcelona in Spain's La Liga. He is now the captain of Japan's Senior Men's Football Team. |
| 12 | ---- |
| 13 | * TheAce: He constantly walks the thin line between The Ace and InvincibleHero (and TheMinnesotaFats, within the story). His Ace qualities are slightly downplayed in ''World Youth Cup'' and ''Road to 2002'', but not ''that'' much. |
| 14 | * AllOfTheOtherReindeer: A milder version. Natsuko, his mother, says that Tsubasa didn't have friends other than Yayoi until they moved to Shizuoka. Tsubasa himself doesn't seem to mind that much since soon the Nankatsu kids befriend him. |
| 15 | * AnimalMotif: He's usually represented by a peregrin falcon, specially in the anime. Or [[ThePhoenix phoenix]], in much rarer occassions. |
| 16 | * BigBrotherMentor: To Shingo. Also has vibes of this with Misaki. |
| 17 | * BoisterousBruiser: Milder case when compared to others. Is a more innocent, slightly less energetic but still idealistic and determined version. |
| 18 | * BookDumb: According to the Memories chapters, he would often have trouble when it came to his studies. |
| 19 | * BrokenWinLossStreak: [[spoiler:Since the elementary school arc, he hadn't suffered a single on-screen defeat. Until Next Dream, when Natureza and the Real Madrid defeat Barcelona FC 4-1]]. |
| 20 | * CatchPhrase: Tsubasa Oozora's motto is "The ball is my friend". |
| 21 | * ChasteHero: He's so MarriedToTheJob that his ObliviousToLove nature becomes the source of many a RunningGag, [[spoiler: until Sanae finally gets to date ''and'' marry him]]. |
| 22 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: With Sanae. They have known each other since their Elementary days, which eventually grown into love when they are teenagers. [[spoiler:They are currently married, and she's pregnant with their first child.]] |
| 23 | * CluelessChickMagnet: Oblivious to his popularity with girls and even puzzled as to why girls like him that much. |
| 24 | * {{Determinator}}: Boy, is this guy ever. An example: in the final of the third National championship he plays despite ''numerous'' injuries. |
| 25 | * DisappearedDad: His father is a ship captain, so he's usually absent. |
| 26 | * FriendlessBackground: Back when his family lived in Tokyo, he didn't have any friends due to being the only kid in town who liked soccer. At one point, his grandmother even suggested that he tried joining a baseball team to make friends, but it didn't stick. |
| 27 | * HappilyMarried: [[spoiler:To Sanae.]] |
| 28 | * HeroicBSOD: |
| 29 | ** The semi-canon ''Endless Dream'' one-shot shows that he spent the days that followed Nankatsu's first cup in a brief but intense depressive state, after [[spoiler: Roberto goes back to Brazil alone]] and both Wakabayashi and Misaki move away from Shizuoka. |
| 30 | ** He also had one during the match with Musashi, upon learning about Misugi's heart condition, Tsubasa became incredibly concerned that he could accidentally injure him, prematurely ending his career, and as result, his game was severely affected. |
| 31 | * HeroProtagonist: He is the main character of the manga and anime and is also a charismatic, friendly leader. A prodigious football player, Tsubasa dreams of one day winning the FIFA World Cup for Japan. His position is midfielder and sometimes plays as forward, usually wearing jersey #10. |
| 32 | * HopeBringer: His sole presence is enough to motivate his teammates, and in the WYC finals Genzo even states that he's always able to bring a miracle during the direst hour. |
| 33 | * JackOfAllStats: Bordering into MasterOfAll; his greatest asset as a player is that he can play ''any'' position (bar goalkeeper) effectively, and he can shift his playing style in the middle of a match, catching his opponents off-guard. |
| 34 | * KindheartedSimpleton: When off work. |
| 35 | * TheLeader: Type IV (Charismatic). Of both the Nankatsu and the Japanese national team. |
| 36 | * LovableJock: Yes, he's handsome and popular. Yes, he's a ChildProdigy in regards to soccer. But he works ''very'' hard for his success, truly loves the sport, and cares very much for his teammates and his friends. He embodies this trope so much he's possibly the TropeCodifier in anime and manga. |
| 37 | * MagneticHero: Has a long list of rivals turned into friends and teammates, and is also an excellent team player and leader with all of them. |
| 38 | * MarriedToTheJob: He's so married to soccer that boy-and-girl relationships are the rarest element to be found around him; considering this a Shounen genre, it's not very strange. Subverted slightly when he confesses his love to Sanae. Then he goes to Brazil and marries the job again, so that his girlfriend has to follow him there, love-struck and almost in tears before they finally get married for real. |
| 39 | * NiceGuy: He's a friendly person, supportive of his teammates, and respectful of his adversaries. |
| 40 | * NoCelebritiesWereHarmed: |
| 41 | ** Tsubasa's career trajectory is partially based off of the legendary Kazuyoshi Miura, whose life would warrant a series of its own. |
| 42 | ** His personality has some shades of the legendary Japanese Team captain, Hidetoshi Nakata. |
| 43 | * ObliviousToLove: He fails to see Sanae's interest in him for quite a while. |
| 44 | * PowerCopying: Often, he imitates the techniques used by his opponents and makes them his own. [[InstantExpert Sometimes even on the first try!]] |
| 45 | * ProtagonistTitle: He's the titular captain. |
| 46 | * RedBaron: ''Soccer no moushigo'' (Heaven Sent Child of Soccer), Soccer Genius, Field Samurai. |
| 47 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: |
| 48 | ** Sensitive Guy to Wakabayashi and Hyuuga's Manly Man. |
| 49 | ** Inverted with Misaki, the Sensitive Guy to Tsubasa's (slightly) Manly Man. |
| 50 | * SignatureAttack: His famous Drive Shoot, a long shoot with a topspin-like rotation in which the ball dives halfway during the shoot. It gains speed and momentum when it dives towards the goal, which takes most goals by surprise and they react too late. Later he learns from Roberto an even stronger version, the Skywing Shoot. |
| 51 | * SpiritedCompetitor: There's nothing that makes him happier than facing the strongest rivals on the soccer field, and he's always striving to reach new heights. |
| 52 | * TeamSpirit: Whenever he can't overpower his opponents alone, he can always rely on his teammates to help him do so. |
| 53 | * WideEyedIdealist: |
| 54 | ** His dream is to win the World Cup, in a time when Japan hadn't ever even classified for participating in the tournament. |
| 55 | ** His celebration speech [[spoiler: after having won the World Youth tournament]] also reflects this. In it, he reminds about the civil war in the World Youth tournament's initial host country, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burundi the Burundi]]; he wishes war would never exist and that fights should be settled with a fair-and-square soccer match, and calls for "world peace through soccer". |

| 61 | |
| 62 | ->Voiced by: Creator/KoichiHashimoto (''Captain Tsubasa''), Creator/ShinichiroMiki (''Captain Tsubasa J''), Creator/KenichiSuzumura (''Captain Tsubasa Road to 2002'' and 2018-2023 anime); Eduardo Tejedo (''Captain Tsubasa''), Creator/BenjaminRivera and Roberto Mendiola (''Captain Tsubasa J''), and José Arenas (''Road to 2002''), Luis Navarro (2018-2023 anime) [Latin American Spanish dub], Creator/PepeCarabias (all the series) [European Spanish dub] |
| 63 | |
| 64 | Goalkeeper for Shutetsu and Tsubasa's [[TheRival main rival]] before he transferred to Nankatsu. Also played for Japan's U-17. After turning professional, he played for the German Bundesliga's Hamburger SV, and was constantly on the talks to transfer to Bayern Munich, to his refusal. |
| 65 | ---- |
| 66 | * TheAce: As a goalkeeper he's one of the best, if not '''the''' best... to the point that the author had to put him on a bus to keep matches interesting. There are not a lot of players able to score to Wakabayashi (like Schneider) and those who can are ''heroes'' to the crowd. He is also the only rival that didn't lose against Tsubasa in a match. |
| 67 | * AchillesHeel: Wakabayashi's weak spots are less noticeable that other characters' since his goalkeeping style is fundamentally BoringButPractical, but he does have a couple of them. Very strong shoots can power their way through his hands, and he also tends to suffer when over-extending due to his modest mobility. |
| 68 | * AdvertisedExtra: In European adaptations he's given top billing on par with Tsubasa even if he gets a lot less focus than him. |
| 69 | * BadassBoast: He often claims that he can stop anything thrown at him from outside the penalty area, and for the most part he does. Only a few exceptional strikers have been able to break that boast. |
| 70 | * TheBenchwarmer: Despite being a better goalkeeper than Wakashimazu, he didn't play as Japan's National Team's main GK during the U16 World Cup until the finale against Germany, after Wakashimazu was injured during the semi-finals against France. The reason why he didn't attend the previous matches was to give Japan a DramaPreservingHandicap and to help his teammates grow over themselves. |
| 71 | * BigBrotherMentor: For Morisaki. |
| 72 | * BoringButPractical: His playing style is the least flashy of all the goalkeepers, as he is not an acrobat like Wakashimazu, a mountain like Nakanishi or a Hercules like Mueller, but he makes up for it by being the most adaptable and effective of all of them. |
| 73 | * BoxingBattler: When he returns in the World Youth quarterfinals, he reveals he trained boxing techniques to counter Stefan Levin's shots (which had previously injured one of his hands at the Bundesliga). |
| 74 | * BrokenAce: Had some shades of this as a kid, due to his massive arrogance and entitlement. It's not fully gone as he grows up. |
| 75 | * CharacterDevelopment: After his draw against Tsubasa, he has learned to enjoy the game with his other teammates. |
| 76 | * EyeObscuringHat: Sometimes his hat cover the eyes. |
| 77 | * FatalFlaw: His massive {{pride}}. |
| 78 | * GameBreakingInjury: [[spoiler: AT LEAST two. In the World Youth finals, Santana and Natureza's shots leave his hands ''bleeding'', and in ''Rising Sun'' Schneider accidentally injures him in the back, leaving him out for the rest of the match]]. |
| 79 | * GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: First is given one by Mikami, then gives another to Tsubasa. |
| 80 | * HonorBeforeReason: In ''Road to 2002'', Hamburg is going to tie 1-1 against Bayern Muenchen, and Hamburg's coach all but instruct every Hamburg player to go for a draw, which should be still good enough for Hamburg considering Bayern is a top-class team while Hamburg is middle-to-high-class team, not to mention they play in Bayern's Home. So what does Wakabayashi do when Hamburg get a free kick ''at the last minutes''? He left his own goalpost to assist Hamburg's last-minutes-attack... which ends in failure. This allows Schneider to launch a quick counter-attack and easily score a goal at Wakabayashi's abandoned goalpost, thus Bayern won for 2-1 ''at those last minutes''. [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Nice job breaking it, Wakabayashi!]] What's even more stupid is that it's just a league match and not a very crucial one other than being "Wakabayashi v. Schneider match that Wakabayashi really needs to win to prove a point at Schneider", so it's generally unreasonable for goalkeeper to do something like that. It's understandable for Hamburg's coach to put him on the bench in the next matches. In the beginning of ''Golden 23'', it's mentioned that Wakabayashi and Hamburg's coach had falling out because apparently Wakabayashi never become starting goalkeeper anymore in any match. Can also be considered as BreakTheHaughty/[[BreakTheBadass Badass]]. |
| 81 | * HotBlooded: To the MAX. |
| 82 | * JackOfAllStats: He is one of the few non-overspecialized keepers in the series. |
| 83 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Heavy on the jerk at first, then gearing more to the heart of gold. |
| 84 | * TheLancer: When playing in the same team, he's Tsubasa's foil both in role and personality. |
| 85 | * LonelyRichKid: Strongly implied to be one in the first anime. He lives in a BigFancyHouse but seems to be alone there aside of [[BigBrotherMentor Mikami]], and it's later revealed [[ParentalAbandonment that his parents work and live in London.]] |
| 86 | * MasterOfNone: His conservative style enables him to adapt well and makes him hard to mislead with tricks, but his range, mobility and strength are very average, which means he can be overpowered by strong shooters like Hyuga or Schneider if he is under pressure and/or forced to commit to any direction. |
| 87 | * NiceJobBreakingItHero: In a ''Road to 2002'' manga chapter which covers a league match between Hamburg and Bayern Munich, he screws up ''badly'' and ends up benched as punishment. |
| 88 | * PetTheDog: He's got a literal cute puppy named John, ''and'' he's very protective of Morisaki. |
| 89 | * RedBaron: "Super Great Goal Keeper" |
| 90 | * TheRival: To Tsubasa, initially. Later, to Schneider. |
| 91 | * SecondaryCharacterTitle: Even though the series is only Tsubasa-centric, in many European adaptations the anime is known with a NameAndName title that makes it look like that Tsubasa and Wakabayashi are both equally important protagonists (evidenced also by the theme songs). While he ''is'' a major character, Wakabayashi is often kept OutOfFocus (or even PutOnABus) due to injuries or other reasons. |
| 92 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Tsubasa's Sensitive Guy. |
| 93 | * WeakButSkilled: Especially compared to other keepers in the series, which are either physical specimens or have more dynamic techniques. Whenever a player scores on Wakabayashi, it tends to be by pressure and power. |
| 94 | * TheWorfEffect: If someone manages to score him from outside the penalty area, it's a testament of their skill and power. Among the few who have done so are Schneider, Sho Shunko, and Natureza (the latter of which did it ''on the first try''). |

| 103 | |
| 104 | Played in several teams due to his father traveling through Japan all the time. Settled in Nankatsu for a semester and became Tsubasa's closest companion, but right after the championship was over, he moved away again. Later he went to France, where he joined the Japanese Team in the Youth Cup, and returned to Nankatsu to finish his education. Currently in France, where he developed a friendly rivalry with El Sire Pierre. |
| 105 | ---- |
| 106 | * AcademicAthlete: Contrary to most other juvenile soccer players, Misaki is a student with exceptional grades at school. |
| 107 | * AchillesHeel: During the World Youth arc, Coach Minato Gamo takes notice that he's ''very'' dependent on Tsubasa to be effective, which leads him to be temporarily suspended from the Japanese team, until he's able to develop his individual playing style. |
| 108 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Most of the time, he's very peaceful and nice. But ''don't'' push him too far, as he's quite capable of standing on his own when needed. Notably when he ''destroys a table'' to prove his GameBreakingInjury is no more. |
| 109 | * BeyondTheImpossible: Misaki [[spoiler:scores the second goal in the Japan-Brazil WYC finals by performing a Raiju shoot alongside Tsubasa and Hyuuga. Let's keep in mind the fact that Hyuuga learned the Raiju shoot through TrainingFromHell and Tsubasa took months to learn it after seeing Roberto do it. Misaki learned it ''on the spot'' and kicks it ''harder'' than Tsubasa with his ''injured leg'', which proves to be a crucial move as it changes the path of the ball so that the keeper can't catch it. True, his leg gives out immediately afterward, but ''damn''.]] |
| 110 | * BigBrotherInstinct: Towards his [[spoiler:younger half sister Yoshiko]]. Most notable when he [[spoiler:saves her from being hit by a bus at the cost of his opportunity to play in the World Youth Tournament.]] |
| 111 | * BreakTheCutie: His familiar problems make him suffer more than once, but he's not completely broken. [[spoiler:By WYC, he retakes contact with his MissingMom ''and'' gets along real well with his kind stepfather and cute half-sister]]. |
| 112 | * ADayInTheLimelight: The sidestory ''Boku wa Misaki Taro'' is centered around him, making a very important choice. |
| 113 | * {{Determinator}}: During the WYC, everyone believes that Misaki [[spoiler:won't be able to play due to his leg injury from being hit by a truck. He manages to come back for the last match against Brazil right when [[DarkestHour things look hopeless for Japan]], and his arrival marks the turning point for Japan's comeback as the team now has a second game maker aside from Tsubasa.]] |
| 114 | * GameBreakingInjury: In the first arc, due to Sawada accidentally kicking his leg while aiming for the ball. Later, in the WYC [[spoiler:by pulling a DivingSave to save his sister from being hit by a bus]]. |
| 115 | * HeroicSacrifice: In the last part of the match against the Meiwa, he dives over a downed Genzo and deflects Hyuuga's shot at the cost of crashing against the post and being knocked out. This move alone [[spoiler:ends up winning the match: it blocked the Meiwa goal that would have put both teams in equal scores again and gave Tsubasa the rush of HeroicResolve he needed to burst into the enemy field and score on Wakashimazu for the safe win.]] |
| 116 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: In the Holland Youth movie, his self-esteem takes a ''massive'' nosedive when [[spoiler:he becomes the temporary captain of the Japanese team but doesn't perform well, since he's too used to be a follower in the fields]]. Misugi has to talk him out of it. |
| 117 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: He is referred to in universe as Tsubasa's greatest partner when on the field and one of his best friends overall. Their combined play is so in sync with each other that they're called the "Golden Pair" and can understand each others intentions with a single glance. |
| 118 | * JackOfAllStats: Aside from teaming with Tsubasa, he's mostly a balanced player with no specialization like most of the rest. |
| 119 | * TheLancer: A second one to Tsubasa, and a cleaner and more consistent one than Wakabayashi. Misaki is the only one who completely understands Tsubasa's motives and can continue following him even when the other players are too tired to keep going. |
| 120 | * MissingMom: Parents are divorced, [[ParentWithNewParamour mother remarried]]. [[spoiler:They make amends later]]. |
| 121 | * MoralityPet: To Tsubasa. Even although Tsubasa is already a nice guy who needs no input to be moral, Misaki's sweet, sensitive nature, coupled with his ability to understand Tsubasa fully, makes Tsubasa care especially for him, almost like a BigBrotherInstinct. When Misaki is injured in his HeroicSacrifice against the Meiwa, Tsubasa is left positively broken and gets a furious surge of motivation to win the match. |
| 122 | * NiceGuy: One of the nicest you'll find in the series. |
| 123 | * RedBaron: "Field Artist". |
| 124 | * TheReliableOne: Tsubasa can always fall back on him. |
| 125 | * SatelliteCharacter: On the field, he serves mostly as Tsubasa's personal support. Averted otherwise, though, as he has his own character arc. |
| 126 | * SignatureMove: The Boomerang Shoot, developed while in Africa. By positioning himself to the side of the goal, he kicks so that the ball rises up as it arches towards the goal, never losing its momentum. |

| 135 | One of Tsubasa's closest friends, and the first Nankatsu captain. He lacks Tsubasa and others's natural skills, but replaces it with his will of iron and his cheerful disposition. His family owns a popular bath house in Shizuoka. |
| 136 | ---- |
| 137 | * BoisterousBruiser: With his cheerful attitude and his determination, he is probably the straightest example in the series. |
| 138 | * ButtMonkey: If anything funny or humiliating is about to happen in Nankatsu, he's the most likely candidate. |
| 139 | * CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: He's the resident ButtMonkey and generally regarded as one of the worst players, and yet is a close friend to Tsubasa, the star of the team. |
| 140 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: BookDumb, childish, stubborn - but capable of marvelous things for his friends and team when he puts his heart to it. |
| 141 | * DeadpanSnarker: When not being himself that butt of the other's jokes, he has his snarky moments. |
| 142 | * {{Determinator}}: Has no world level skill, but definitely has world level willpower. |
| 143 | * TheDutifulSon: Shows some traces in WYC, since he knows he'll sooner or later have to take over the FamilyBusiness. Not helped by him being very aware that he CantCatchUp. [[spoiler: In his LoveConfession to Yukari, he asks her if she'd be up for staying with him even if he leaves soccer to take over the ''sento'', and after a brief {{Tsundere}} moment she says that she will.]] |
| 144 | * FirstFriend: He's this to Tsubasa, when the latter arrives to the city of Nankatsu for the first time. |
| 145 | * HeroicSacrifice: At least twice, each time by blocking a critical opponent shoot with his face, leaving him KO for the count and sent in the stadium's infirmary. Counts as this as he's fully aware of the risks and has been warned about them repeteadly, yet he still pulls such moves. |
| 146 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: While Misaki is the closest to Tsubasa in regards to soccer, Ishizaki is very close to him in more personal matters. |
| 147 | * HotBlooded: Seen not just in the fields, but when he steps to defend Sanae from a certain HopelessSuitor and ends up beaten for his trouble. |
| 148 | * LookWhatICanDoNow: He spent ten years to pull off the Heel Lift and when he do in the match Japan vs Germany in Rising Sun, everyone was surprised. |
| 149 | * MasterOfNone: Can play every position in the defense: left back, right back, or center back without any sign of difference or unfamiliarity. Unfortunately, he doesn't really excel in any role, either. Misugi and Matsuyama can read the game from the back and initiate counter attacks with their accurate weighted pass, Jito has big posture useful for aerial defense, Soda has Razor Slide and he can also help with attacking from the flank. Compared to those defenders, Ishizaki can only be described as a hardworker at best. |
| 150 | * PluckyComicRelief: He's not completely useless, but most of the time he's used as a comical character and a ButtMonkey more than anything else. |
| 151 | * RedBaron: "[[PluckyComicRelief Funky]] [[DeTerminator Gutsman]]" |
| 152 | * ShipTease: With Kumi in the first anime's rendition of the junior high arc, with Youko in the videogames, and with Yukari in the WYC manga. [[spoiler:He and Yukari eventually have a RelationshipUpgrade.]] |
| 153 | * UnskilledButStrong: While by no means a bad player, he's clearly a level below the majority of his partners and hopelessly outmatched by most of his team's rivals. However, he's tough as nails, fears nothing and is willing to sacrifice his life (well, at least his face) for his team. |

Then Tsubasa makes a pass instead of shooting, Takasugi pulls a header, and the rest is done. |

| 216 | |
| 217 | A sweet and shy young boy who has a big responsibility on his shoulders: cover up for Genzo when he's injured in the Nankatsu team. For a NaiveNewcomer like Morisaki, this is NOT easy, and he has to struggle very hard to get his work done. |
| 218 | ---- |
| 219 | * TheBenchwarmer: Initially, he served as Nankatsu SC's reserve goalkeeper who was overshadowed by Wakabayashi, but due to the latter's injury, Morisaki had to take over until the beginning of the National's Finale, giving Nankatsu SC a DramaPreservingHandicap. After Wakabayashi left Japan, Morisaki served as the number 1 Goal Keeper for Nankatsu Middle School's team. |
| 220 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Associated with his Body Block skill, and he once catches Soda's ''very'' powerful and hard to catch Razor Shoot. |
| 221 | * {{Determinator}}: He is! He keeps getting better, and puts himself in front of powerful shoots if he can stop them. See RedBaron. |
| 222 | * EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: According to the databooks and a chapter of ''Memories'' focused on Genzo, he was the reserve keeper for Shutetsu. However, the first chapters of the manga (and both the 80s and 2018 anime series) show him with a very different appearance to the one he's known for, as the unnamed keeper who fills in for Genzo while he's training for the match against Nankatsu. See [[https://captaintsubasa.es/el-origen-de-yuzo-morisaki-alan-crocket/ here]]. |
| 223 | * HeroWorshipper: To Morisaki, Wakabayashi is his "goal". |
| 224 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: Genzo, Ken and most of the aces' shoots are ''far'' beyond his abilities, and even lesser keepers like Nakanishi or Ichijo are tougher keepers than him if their flaws aren't exploited. It comes as almost as an InformedAbility that he's supposed to be the third best goalie of Japan. |
| 225 | * RedBaron: "Super Brave Goal Keeper" (given by Wakabayashi, to support him). This is due to him clearly knowing he can't out-perform the Waka goalkeepers but still pressing on. |
| 226 | * ShrinkingViolet: At the beginning. More or less understandable, considering how he has to live up to super goalkeepers like Ken and Genzo. |
| 227 | * WhyDidItHaveToBeSnakes: He can be ''paralyzed'' if there's a chance of him being hit in the face. [[KickTheDog Thank you, Hyuga]]. It takes him a long time to get over it. |

| 238 | |
| 239 | Started as TheRival, became TheLancer with time. Having lost his dad at an early age, he became hateful and rude towards the world as a whole, but very loving and hardworking to his mother and siblings. HotBlooded to the max and one of the best scorers in the Japanese Team, but with serious problems towards authority that have brought him trouble more than once. After working on some of such issues and graduating from school, he now plays for Juventus in Italy's Serie A. |
| 240 | ---- |
| 241 | * TheAce: In ''Road to 2002''. |
| 242 | * AchillesHeel: When he gets drafted by Juventus, the team's physician tells him his body is heavily unbalanced (his left side is much weaker than his right one), which takes its toll during his debut match against Parma. [[spoiler:He's given on a loan to Reggiana in the Serie C in order to correct this]]. |
| 243 | * AlwaysSecondBest: To Tsubasa, franchise-wide. Upon closer inspection, however, the trope gets actually played with a bit; while Tsubasa's greater ability to adapt and overcome obstacles cannot be discounted, it is more often through superior teamwork and by better secondary players that his teams beat Hyuuga's. |
| 244 | * AnimalMotifs: "The Tiger" |
| 245 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: More of the aggressive kind than the boastful one, but he knows his (high) place and even after his CharacterDevelopment, he doesn't let anyone to dispute it. |
| 246 | * BloodKnight: His style is based around aggression, so this is a given. While not as dirty or foul-friendly as Soda or Napoleon, he uses a lot of brute strength and is not over roughing his enemy players around. |
| 247 | * BreakTheBadass: In ''Road to 2002'', his debut match in the Juventus showed him how far below he is compared to European players. After he's unable to score even with his strongest shot, and gets substituted without playing the full first half, he leaves the field [[ManlyTears in tears]]. |
| 248 | * BreakTheHaughty: At least ''twice''. |
| 249 | * CantCatchUp: Hyuuga himself felt this was about himself for losing to Tsubasa 3 years in a row during the National Tournament. His old Coach Kira is the one who made him realise that. Thus he went to Okinawa to train leaving his Team. [[spoiler:And then he was punished by his current coach because he did it ''without permission'', thus he caused problems to the team as a whole.]] |
| 250 | * CombatPragmatist: Downplayed. He's decidedly not the dirtiest player in the series, but is not afraid of fouling either, especially when getting very fired up. He sums it up nicely. |
| 251 | --> '''Hyuuga''': What do you mean by "Fair Play"? Those words don't exist in my dictionary. I play football to win, and I'll do everything possible for that. |
| 252 | * TheComicallySerious: Starting from the World Youth saga, and scenes of this pop up from time to time with increased frequency as the series goes on. |
| 253 | * CoolBigBro: His relationship with his younger siblings is one of the early signs in the anime of him being a JerkWithAHeartOfGold. |
| 254 | * {{Determinator}}: It's obvious from his backstory and his attitude in general. He never gives up. |
| 255 | * {{Deuteragonist}}: During the elementary school and middle school arcs, Hyuga gets as least as much focus as Tsubasa does, and it actually makes both characters sympathetic enough that you could root for either of them. In the elementary school's national championship, Tsubasa's goal of winning the tournament is to go with his mentor Roberto Hongo to Brazil and become a better soccer player, while Hyuga wants to win the tournament to get scouted by Touhou and earning financial support for his family. While Tsubasa wins, Roberto flies back to Brazil without him, and Hyuga is scouted thanks to Tsubasa's decline. In the middle school's national championship, both of them want to win it for competitive reasons: Tsubasa wants to win the championship a third time in a row while he has to endure all the injuries he has to take that year, Hyuga wants to finally win the championship and defeat his rival for once. Both of their teams eventually win the championship as their final match ends in a draw. |
| 256 | * DisappearedDad: Who either died of illness (anime series) or in an accident (manga). The accident deal wasn't revealed until WYC, [[AdaptationExpansion so the anime series had to make up something out of scratch.]] |
| 257 | * DangerousForbiddenTechnique: Downplayed, but it's often brought up that his Raijuu Shoot puts a heavy strain on his leg, which is why he tends to keep it as a last resort. |
| 258 | * TheDutifulSon: He comes from a poor background and wants to become a professional player to support his family. He also used to help them by doing several part-time jobs. |
| 259 | * EvilCounterpart: His character is both similar and adversarial to Tsubasa in many ways: he's the ace of his team and an offensively oriented player just like him (and with a similar love interest to boot), but he's impetuous and violent instead of gentle, and a refined strongman rather than a technician. Subverted in the evil part, not only because this is a sport series without true villains, but also because he eventually turns out to be just as sympathetic as Tsubasa is. |
| 260 | * FreudianExcuse: He had a bad childhood, dealing with his father's death and his family's money problems. |
| 261 | * {{Foil}}: To Tsubasa, being another offensive player with a very personal playing style, character arc and companions, yet all of them very different from Tsubasa's. |
| 262 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: ''Kaigai Gekito Hen in Calcio - Hi Izuru Kuni no Giocatore'' is this for both him and Aoi, as they get ready for a match between their teams and it also offers an insight in Hyuuga's daily life in Italy. |
| 263 | * HotBlooded: Very impulsive as well as passionate, and one of the most determined characters in the series. |
| 264 | * JerkJock: How he begins, though little by little he defrosts. |
| 265 | * JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Though he starts off as a {{Jerkass}} before his CharacterDevelopment. |
| 266 | * KickTheDog: |
| 267 | ** His treatment of Morisaki, in the beginning. At some point he ''deliberately'' kicked a ball into the poor kid's face, which traumatized him quite badly. |
| 268 | ** Slapping Matsuyama across the face and to the floor, [[DisproportionateRetribution just for physically standing in his way.]] |
| 269 | * MrFanservice: TallDarkAndHandsome, also [[TallDarkAndSnarky snarky]] and [[TroubledButCute somewhat of a bad boy]] ([[JerkWithAHeartOfGold but kind underneath]]), has several {{Shirtless Scene}}s... |
| 270 | * PoseOfSupplication: Does this to his SternTeacher when begging him to let him re-enter the team for the finale of the third Junior High National Championship. |
| 271 | * PromotionToParent: Partially. His mom does ''not'' want him to work outside of school, but he insists on doing so. |
| 272 | * RedBaron: ''Mouko'' ([[AnimalMotifs Fierce Tiger]]) |
| 273 | * TheRival: Tsubasa's original and arguably most iconic rival in Japan. |
| 274 | * SelfMadeMan: He comes from a very impoverished family and then trains and works his way up. |
| 275 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Manly Man to Takeshi's Sensitive Guy, with pretty boy Ken playing a middle ground. |
| 276 | * SheIsNotMyGirlfriend: Pulls off a ''weak'' one each time his friends tease him regarding his relationship with his sweetheart Maki Akamine. [[spoiler:He seemingly gives up in the ''Next Dream'' preview, though]]. |
| 277 | * SignatureMove: The Tiger Shot and its variations, and later, the Raijuu Shot. |
| 278 | * SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids: Tries to tell that to Tsubasa during their first match. [[InsultBackfire It does NOT work]] ([[ShutUpHannibal "Soccer is my DREAM!"]]). |
| 279 | * SleevesAreForWimps: He ''always'' rolls up his shirt's sleeves. |
| 280 | * StrongAndSkilled: Hyuga may look only talented in overwhelming his opponents with raw strength, but he is actually far from being unskilled in any other area of the game. Unlike many other Japanese players, and more like Tsubasa himself, his playing style has no important holes and he would be still a threat even without his Tiger Shoot and aggression. |
| 281 | * TallDarkAndSnarky: A fairly tall guy with suntanned skin and a dry wit. |
| 282 | * TrademarkFavoriteFood: Or drink. He ''loves'' Coca-Cola. And this gets him remarks from other athletes such as Maki and Gozza, about sodas being not good for sportsmen. This doesn't faze him a single bit. That's because Hyuga was VERY poor as a kid so he couldn't afford to drink Coca-Cola regularly. (And one of his part-time jobs was carrying around empty bottles); now that he has a regular income and a good part of his goals are secured, he feels that he can allow himself that little pleasure. You can say it's a bit of ComfortFood effect. |
| 283 | * TroubledButCute: ''Very'' popular among fangirls, both in-story and in the fandom. |
| 284 | * {{Tsundere}}: Arguably, in regards to Maki Akamine. |
| 285 | * UnskilledButStrong: Unlike Tsubasa's Dynamic Shoot and other physically improbable techniques, Hyuga's own Tiger Shoot is a regular chute, only kicked with physically improbable strength. |
| 286 | * UsedToBeASweetKid: Although he's never a bad guy, he was ''much'' more of a CheerfulChild before his father's death. |

| 295 | |
| 296 | A close friend of Hyuuga, and the goalie for their team. A TallDarkAndHandsome UsefulNotes/{{Karate}} HeirToTheDojo who is caught between what his heart desires and his duty as heir of the Wakado-Ryu school, and later with severe self-esteem problems. |
| 297 | ---- |
| 298 | * AchillesHeel: His acrobatic style allows him to perform powerful and very long-ranged catches, but this logically impedes him from being able to correct his momentum if he initiates a maneuver in the wrong direction. This flaw is deliberately exploited by Karl Heinz Schneider, who tricks Wakashimazu into lunging towards one side before actually shooting on the opposite. |
| 299 | * AdaptationalBadass: While Wakashimazu has played second fiddle to Wakabayashi from the first arc onwards, the 1983 anime filler included an extra arc before the Nankatsu-Toho match where the two were still portrayed more or less as equals that simply had different skills and holes: a substitute Ken turned out the right man to save the team after Genzo was worfed by Steve's strong game, while Genzo did the same in turn when Ken himself was worfed by Schneider's feints. This tournament also included Ken doing another saving performance in-between against Pierre Elle Sid, an opponent that has been traditionally portrayed as superior. |
| 300 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: He feels that he'll never have a chance to be the titular if Wakabayashi's around. [[spoiler:Which causes everyone trouble when this belief becomes strong enough of a motivation to ''leave'' the team in WYC.]] |
| 301 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Initially, with the added bonus of being a martial artist. He later turns more polite and subdued. |
| 302 | * BigDamnHeroes: Save his team in the semi-final against the Furano team. |
| 303 | * CantCatchUp: In his introductory arc, although Ken ultimately failed at beating Wakabayashi, you could believably claim the two were roughly on the same level. They tanked their opposing teams into two overtimes and it took a mess of chances for Nankatsu, with the help of its better teamwork and stronger support players, to ensure the win. From that point, however, Genzo just skyrocketed as a keeper in his foreign career, while Ken was left as a perennial struggler who would never be able to compete with him again. He still fared much better than the rest of Japanese keepers, though, so it could be said it is only in relation to Wakabayashi alone that he couldn't catch up. |
| 304 | * CharacterizationMarchesOn: Compared to the rest of the cast, his personality changes a lot over the series, to the point his two main stages look almost like different characters. In his first appearances in the Meiwa, he was very expressive and cocky, showing plenty of smug smiles and trashtalking, yet at the same time being a GracefulLoser. However, after his change to the Toho and onwards, he becomes much more stoic, serious and introverted, and his attitude towards Wakabayashi turns substantially bitter. His signature attire also changes, initially resembling Genzo's (cap included) before diverging on a wholly different one. |
| 305 | * ChickMagnet: ''Very'' popular with the girls. His reactions are quite cute. |
| 306 | * DivingSave: To rescue a puppy. The injuries he sustained [[GameBreakingInjury would cause trouble later]]. |
| 307 | * TheDutifulSon: Torn between his love for soccer and his duty to his karate dojo. |
| 308 | * EnigmaticMinion: Before his introduction as a Meiwa player, he could be seen often watching the matches with his cap over his eyes and smirking. It was hinted he was a keeper because the hat made him resembled Wakabayashi, which his comments would imply further, but his allegiance and identity weren't revealed until much later. |
| 309 | * EvilCounterpart: Lampshaded by himself towards Wakabayashi. He's actually a better example of this than Hyuga and Sawada, as Ken does act a bit as a CardCarryingVillain at first. |
| 310 | * EyeObscuringHat: Wore a cap this way in his first appearances. |
| 311 | * {{Foil}}: To Wakabayashi. Their roles and even their names are similar, but while Genzo is quite hotheaded and uses a stationary goalkeeping style, Ken is much more collected and ironically specializes in flips and acrobatic catches. |
| 312 | * GracefulLoser: After losing the first arc's final match against Nankatsu, he initially collapses in misery, but he quickly gets up and comes to congratulate Tsubasa with a genuine smile. |
| 313 | * HeirToTheDojo: Subverted - he loves the family dojo but does ''not'' want to inherit it. |
| 314 | * IWantYouToMeetAnOldFriendOfMine: In-universe, as he was a childhood friend of Hyuga before arriving to the Meiwa. |
| 315 | * LongHairedPrettyBoy: So very pretty-looking, and keeps his hair longer than any of the Japanese players. |
| 316 | * MartialArtsAndCrafts: His gimmick: he uses karate strikes and blocks to stop shoots. |
| 317 | * MinoredInAsskicking: Unlike all the other goalies in the series, and shockingly enough, Wakashimazu is just as good as a field player as he is as a goalkeeper. Hyuuga himself stated Ken had the best shot on the entire Meiwa team only second to himself, which technically puts him over Sawada and people from other teams around Sawada's level (that is, ''almost everybody at that point'' and still in later arcs), and that despite Ken being presumably trained mainly to keep. He has even played as a substitute forward on occasion, and in the ''Golden 23'' arc he is actually put as a forward full time with few troubles to adapt, with coach Kira revealing he had always considered him for the role since their times in the Meiwa. |
| 318 | * MoralityPet: Downplayed. Despite the fact that Wakashimazu and Hyuga know each other from their childhood, it is Sawada the one who becomes his main emotional support while Ken remains in the sidelines. He's still the second closest player to Hyuga, though. |
| 319 | * RedBaron: "Karate Keeper". |
| 320 | * TheRedMage: Usually loses the keeper contest with Wakabayashi, but Wakashimazu has been showed to be a strong outfield player aside from a keeper (with Hyuga even considering him better than Sawada!), which is something that Genzo and most other keepers in the series cannot boast of. |
| 321 | * TheRival: To Wakabayashi, like Hyuuga to Tsubasa. |
| 322 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: As mentioned. |
| 323 | * TenMinuteRetirement: In WYC, after [[spoiler: believing that he'd never have a chance to be the titular GK]]. |
| 324 | * UnknownRival: This was his gimmick when he was introduced, being an unknown player who believed himself to be better than the famous Wakabayashi. |

| 334 | Hyuuga's best friend and surrogate little brother, one of the few people in the Meiwa team who can keep him in line. |
| 335 | ---- |
| 336 | * EvilCounterpart: Subverted. He is to Hyuuga what Misaki is to Tsubasa, down to character design and personality, but he is much less arrogant than Hyuuga, which makes him almost a TokenGoodTeammate every time the Meiwa players are the bad guys. |
| 337 | * ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Had very short hair while in Meiwa Elementary, has let it grow a little longer by the time he goes to Toho. When he reaches high school, he shaves the upper part to resemble a typical soccer ball. |
| 338 | * FatalFlaw: While he is an apt player at all fields, he is not very confident and can get intimidated if sorely pressed. This proves decisive in the Nankatsu-Meiwa final bout, when Sawada's sudden panic at seeing Tsubasa coming at him makes Takeshi freeze, allowing Tsubasa to take the ball from him and seal the match. |
| 339 | * JackOfAllStats: Like Misaki, he has no discernible field of specialization, being just a good player who syncs well with Hyuga (though not as well as Misaki does with Tsubasa). |
| 340 | * TheLancer: To Hyuga. |
| 341 | * MoralityPet: Almost the only one in Meiwa, aside of Kira and Ken, that Hyuga regularly listens to. |
| 342 | * NervousWreck: Downplayed, as he is a subdued kind of boy, but he does tend to worry a lot during the hard parts of the matches. Looking scared or worried, as pictured above, is almost his default expression every time the play is not going perfect. |
| 343 | * TheReliableOne: He is the more emotionally stable of the Meiwa/Toho trio, although this comes to the cost that he is also the least strong-willed of the three. |
| 344 | * SatelliteCharacter: To Hyuga, even more than Misaki to Tsubasa, being similarly his support player but having less initiative than Misaki. |
| 345 | * SensitiveGuyAndManlyMan: Sensitive Guy to Hyuuga's Manly Man, with Ken in the middle. |
| 346 | * TokenGoodTeammate: In Meiwa and Toho. He's unusually polite and emotional from the start. |

| 359 | * EvilCounterpart: Oddly, a second one to Misaki. In several ways, Sorimachi is actually a much closer one than Sawada, as he looks physically like a tanned version of Misaki yet is angrier and more confrontational, just like Hyuga is compared to Tsubasa. However, unlike Sawada, Sorimachi doesn't play any special role towards Hyuuga like Misaki does with Tsubasa. |
| 360 | * HotBlooded: His main trait is being rather intense. |
| 361 | * JackOfAllStats: Like Misaki and Sawada, although he use headers often. |
| 362 | * MinorMajorCharacter: |
| 363 | ** Sorimachi is part of an official Toho player trio with Hyuuga and Sawada, to the point he actually replaced Hyuuga himself when the latter was out, but he remains a very unexplored character in comparison (especially to Wakashimazu, who is the true third member of Hyuga's trio). |
| 364 | ** He also forms part of Japan's offensive lineup along with Nitta and Hyuga during the WYC, after the Tachibanas are injured in the opening match against Mexico. |
| 365 | * UseYourHead: His signature headers. |

| 376 | |
| 377 | Captain of the Musashi school team, an excellent player... with a fatal flaw: his very weak heart. Not even an operation and treatment are fully able to let him overcome it: while his skill is intact, his stamina is severely limited. His analytical mind, however, gives him a sort-of solution: becoming TheSmartGuy and TheStrategist, alongside a reserve player who comes out in crucial moments. |
| 378 | ---- |
| 379 | * BrokenAce: He is explicitly said to be Tsubasa's technical superior on the field and a leader at least just as good, but his heart condition limits deeply his performance ''and'' puts a damper in his self-worth. |
| 380 | * ChickMagnet: Girls loooooove him. |
| 381 | * ChildhoodFriendRomance: [[ShipTease All but stated]] to have this going on with Yayoi. |
| 382 | * {{Determinator}}: When young, because his illness gave him a near ''suicidal'' obsession with leading his team to victory before he has to go through treatment. As he grows up, one can still see some traces of this every now and then, like when he manages to come back to action after his illness through the standard "operation" and ''very'' hard work. |
| 383 | * DontYouDarePityMe: ''Very'' extreme version, as he'd rather put his life in risk than lose a match. He loosens up later, though. |
| 384 | * DramaPreservingHandicap: His heart illness. |
| 385 | * HandicappedBadass: As seen below. |
| 386 | * ItsNotYouItsMe: Yayoi states to Yoshiko in Rising Sun that the only reason he did not become engaged with her was because he feared that his heart disease will come. [[spoiler:Later revealed that if he overextends himself in a match, his heart illness could come back]] |
| 387 | * RedBaron: ''Garasu no Ace'' (Glass Ace). In elementary he also had "Field Prince". |
| 388 | * TheStrategist: His role, both in and outside the fields. |
| 389 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: He's calm and not really prone to any emotional outbursts, coming across as aloof, but he's also very wise and kind to those close to him. |
| 390 | * WeakButSkilled: He's a football genius on a technical level not even Tsubasa can reach at the time of their battle, but has a very low stamina due to his heart condition, so he can barely play half a match. |
| 391 | * WouldHitAGirl: He ''slapped'' Yayoi for telling Tsubasa about his heart condition, [[WhatTheHellHero saying that she had no right to do that]]. |

| 403 | The captain of the Furano team, which is from Hokkaido. Serious, dependable and responsible, as well as with a bittersweet emotional baggage in his highschool years. |

| 406 | * BoringButPractical |
| 407 | * {{Determinator}}: Wind or snow over him, he never stops working hard. |
| 408 | * ElementalMotifs: His techniques evoke imagery related to ice and snow. Hokkaido, where his team comes from, is the northernmost region of Japan, and Hikaru takes pride in how the team often had to train in a snow-covered field. |
| 409 | * AFatherToHisMen |
| 410 | * HardWorkHardlyWorks: He is profiled as an average player whose ability to be a threat to the leads comes from being incredibly disciplined and hard-working. However, as it could not be otherwise, he is always beaten by more naturally talented people like Tsubasa. |
| 411 | * HeroAntagonist: His attributes mirror Tsubasa's ones and even expand them in some cases: he's a very motivated player, works as the soul of his team, and has an open LoveInterest. He could believably be the protagonist of his own soccer manga. |
| 412 | * IWillWaitForYou: With Yoshiko, first when she has to leave with her family to America after the mid-school semifinals, [[spoiler:and more recently in the ''Next Dream'' preview, when she rejects his marriage proposal to follow her dream of being a flight attendant]]. |
| 413 | * MartialArtsHeadband: Proud owner of a hand-sewn one, courtesy of Yoshiko; also qualifies as IconicOutfit and IconicItem. |
| 414 | * NumberTwo: In ''WYC'', he becomes the vice-captain of the Japanese team. |
| 415 | * OvershadowedByAwesome: By no means he is a bad player, but in a series like this you need much more than that to have a chance. |
| 416 | * RedBaron: ''Hokkai no Arawashi'' (The Wild Eagle of the Northern Sea) |
| 417 | * SignatureMove: The Eagle Shot, a ground-crawling shot that sends the ball to the goal at high speed. |
| 418 | * TheSmartGuy: ''Very good'' at {{indy ploy}}ing and capable of keeping his cool in harsh crisis. |
| 419 | * SquishyWizard: In a sense, as his true strength comes from the teamwork and techniques he's able to implement with his team rather than his individual skills or talents. He is still a tough, competent player, though. |
| 420 | * TheStrategist: Part of his hard work focuses on teamwork, and he's probably even better at this than Tsubasa, not having any other asset to lean on. |
| 421 | * TeamDad: Not only to Furano, but also when [[spoiler:several players get kicked out of the National Team (Hyuuga included) after they fail Gamo's Real Japan 7 test]]. |
| 422 | * TwiceShy: With his assistant Yoshiko. |
| 423 | * UnskilledButStrong: He's explained to be not as gifted as other players on the technical field, but he compensates it by being tough and athletic and training like a machine. |

| 436 | Twin brothers from the same team, whose combination is very hard to beat. |
| 437 | ---- |
| 438 | * AchillesHeel: Prior to the Asian preliminaries, Coach Gamo realizes they're too dependent on one another, and need to develop more individuality. |
| 439 | * BashBrothers: Of course. |
| 440 | * {{Butt Monkey}}s: ''Not'' PlayedForLaughs, since the poor dudes [[TheWorfEffect almost always get injured]] in one way or another [[PutOnABus and almost never can finish a game.]] |
| 441 | * {{Deadpan Snarker}}s: Very much so, and their favorite "victim" is Ishizaki. Though that might be because he and Tsubasa are among the few able to counter their attacks. |
| 442 | * TheDividual: They are a single player in two bodies. |
| 443 | * CombinationAttack: Most of their techniques are this, including the Twin Shoot, and the Skylab Hurricane. There's also their Skylab Twin Shoot, which they perform aided by Jito. |
| 444 | * DentedIron: ''Skylab Hurricane'' is a fearsome technique: one guy kicks the other guy to jump way above enemy defenders. However, the ''Olympic'' series revealed that as the Tachibanas grow older, and therefore heavier, they became unable to pull this technique more than once in a match. Afterward, their legs will get injured and they will have to be substituted. |
| 445 | * EvilCounterpart: One to the combo formed by Tsubasa and Misaki, as they are also a pair of technicians with a brotherly bond (literally in this case) and incredible teamwork, yet much more mischievous. |
| 446 | * FastballSpecial: Their signature ''Sky Hurricane''. |
| 447 | * FragileSpeedster: Of the agile but fragile kind. They are very quick acrobats, but they get easily injured if they miss some of their high-risk maneuvers. |
| 448 | * GlassCannon: They can perform shocking team moves to bypass the rival team's defenses, but the inherent complexity of their teamwork means they are constantly risking their bodies, so they are royally screwed whenever they botch it (seen in UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom) or after its abuse. |
| 449 | * SingleMindedTwins: ''Weaponized'', even. If they weren't twins and didn't know each other as well as they do, their partnership wouldn't be as succesful as it is. However, Coach Gamo takes notice that this makes them ''heavily'' dependent on one another. |
| 450 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: In the junior high arc, [[spoiler:Tsubasa gets his ''very'' serious shoulder injury when the Tachibanas fail to pull their Skylab Hurricane and he protects Masao, who got the worst part, with his own body. To be fair, had he not done that Masao would've probably gotten ''even more'' injured, and Masao is sincerely apologetic afterwards.]] |

| 461 | |
| 462 | An eager player from Nagasaki who appears in the second half of the original series. He turns out to be less of a DumbMuscle than everyone thinks he is, and specially when he and his partner Mitsuru Sano work together. |
| 463 | ---- |
| 464 | * AdaptationalWimp: Downplayed. In ''Road to 2002'', he is still a powerful player and a nasty threat, but his Backspin Pass and the rest of his most technical moves are cut out, leaving him a stylistically flatter player. |
| 465 | * TheBigGuy: The largest player in the Japanese Team. Just to drive it, he's big and strong enough to propel ''both'' the Tachibanas at once to perform the Skylab Twin Shoot. |
| 466 | * BigGuyLittleGuy: The big guy to Sano (and everybody, really). |
| 467 | * BloodKnight: The guy loves violence, being not only an avid practitioner of contact sports, but also a veteran street fighter and a troublemaker. He's absolutely not a bully, though, which actually only makes him even ''more'' bloodthirsty: he is constantly seeking a WorthyOpponent, and gets bored if his battles end too soon or too easily. |
| 468 | * BoisterousBruiser: Very stubborn and spirited on the fields. |
| 469 | * BoringButPractical: Although it isn't his only resource, his enormous size and strength mean that he can simply run through their opponents rather than engaging them in technical bouts. |
| 470 | * CasanovaWannabe: ''Hilariously'' used in his first anime appearance. |
| 471 | * ChallengeSeeker: In all areas, including soccer, sumo and street fights. In fact, this is the very reason he got into soccer in the first place. |
| 472 | * CombatPragmatist: Downplayed. While Jito doesn't usually go for overt fouls, thrashing people around is a big part of his playing style. |
| 473 | * CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: His first appearances outside the fields profile him as a dumb, goofy brute. Then the match starts, and it turns out he is absolutely neither dumb nor goofy. |
| 474 | * {{Flanderization}}: When he ceases being the captain to his own team, he basically stops being a GeniusBruiser and becomes instead a DumbMuscle, as if the series had forgotten this was only a façade he actively cultivated. He even receives the special dishonor of being one of the few characters who have [[spoiler:scored in his own goal zone]]. However, there are still flashes of his technical side here and there, such as in his famous three-man technique with the Tachibana twins. |
| 475 | * GeniusBruiser: He kept it hidden before the great revelation, but Jito is a shockingly clever player and has a bag of tricks that matched Tsubasa's own at that point of the series. |
| 476 | * GuileHero: His facade of a talentless brute is not his only way to mask his true abilities. Under his leadership, the Hirado team adopted the gameplan of feigning mediocrity early in the tournaments, edging small wins by 1-0 at the first matches, in order for them to surprise their opponents in the finals and unload 6-0 beatdowns on them. |
| 477 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With Sano. |
| 478 | * InstantExpert: He became a soccer player very late into his life, yet excelled at it very quickly and was chosen captain of his team. |
| 479 | * TheJuggernaut: Due to his impressive size, strength and ability to achieve momentum, trying to stop him directly (even by accident) is downright suicidal. |
| 480 | * LightningBruiser: Being so athletic and tall, he can run incredibly fast for his size, to the point he's canonically faster than even Hyuga. Moreover, he can not only run, but ''slide'', like a much smaller player. |
| 481 | * MartialArtsAndCrafts: Subverted. He practises amateur SumoWrestling, but he uses it relatively little when playing soccer compared to Wakashimazu. |
| 482 | * ObfuscatingStupidity: His main character trait (and main strength) during the National Junior Interhigh arc. Jito initially looked like a crude strongman whose only gameplan was bruting his way through the field, but he turned out to be secretly a great tactician and a team player able to match the Golden Duo with his own partner. |
| 483 | * OutsideContextProblem: While the Hirado was not the first opposing team to present a technical challenge, Jito himself was a multi-problem kind of rival Tsubasa had never faced: a giant bruiser who could not be stopped individually by traditional means, who was just as good as a teamwork player with his own support, who had his own technical brilliance, ''and'' who was also a master strategist. |
| 484 | * RedBaron: "Power Defense" |
| 485 | * RedemptionDemotion: After befriending the leads, he goes down from a true nightmare to play against to a moderately useful support player, even [[spoiler:accidentally self-scoring]] once. This could be chalked up to his smarts atrophying due to not being a captain anymore and not syncing up well with his new teammates, but still, the series definitely plays it as if he had always been as much of a moron as he previously looked. |
| 486 | * StrongAndSkilled: He prefers ramming people out of his way rather than dribbling, but he's not ignorant of the most technical aspects of soccer and in fact has a few jaw-dropping tricks up his sleeve. |
| 487 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Almost. [[spoiler:He ''scores in his own goal zone'' in the WYC match vs. Uruguay, which puts the team in serious risk. He decides to make up for it by pulling a very risky move with Hyuuga's help (and Hyuuga himself is all "are you crazy?!" when Jito asks him for help), [[CrazyEnoughToWork and it works]].]] |

| 520 | |
| 521 | A very, very aggressive and dirty player from Osaka, whose temper will bring him trouble more than once. |
| 522 | ---- |
| 523 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: He can take players out and he knows it. |
| 524 | * BloodKnight: Which cause trouble once he clashes with another (and, unfortunately for Soda, smarter) BloodKnight like Napoleon. |
| 525 | * TheBerserker: His style is direct and forward, and he goes for the leg if he feels the need. |
| 526 | * BreakTheHaughty: His team and Nankatsu's match manages to knock him off his pedestal, and save for one or three moments he's noticeably more agreeable. |
| 527 | * CantCatchUp: While he was not Hyuga or Misugi, in his first appearances he was a talented player and clearly looked cut for much more than the filler teammate he ends up being. |
| 528 | * CombatPragmatist: Tactical fouls are his specialty. He does not hesitate to hurt his rivals if he can get away with it, and often targets enemy players with explicit intention to injury. In fact, [[spoiler:what was supposed to be a simply ankle sprain for Tsubasa becomes a ''massive'' injury after Soda targets him.]] |
| 529 | * EvilCounterpart: Yet another one to Tsubasa. He is the captain of his team, has a lot of spirit, and is a technician with a penchant for tricky spinning shoots, just like Tsubasa; but while Tsubasa is gentle, civil and technically flawless, Soda is arrogant, dirty and not good enough to match him. |
| 530 | * FatalFlaw: His short temper makes a bad combination with his aggressive playing style. [[spoiler:In the ''Shin'' match against France, when Napoleon exploits this and gets him kicked out.]] |
| 531 | * {{Flanderization}}: After joining the Japanese team, his sole claim to fame is getting goaded to a fight by an even dirtier player. Even worse, in the process he's portrayed as an easily manipulable brat, when his previous appearances had shown him as a decent captain and strategist who simply took things too personally. His not negligible technical side is also progressively de-emphasized. |
| 532 | * GeniusBruiser: May look like his aggression is his only trump card on the field, but not at all - he is skilled enough to cause trouble to more technical players, knows himself a lot about shoots with effect (to the point of being familiar with the Drive Shoot!), and his own Razor Shoot could easily score against the third best goalie to that point, Nakanishi. |
| 533 | * HotBlooded: He's a good player and tactician, but can get very mad if he gets carried away. |
| 534 | * TheIdiotFromOsaka: While '''not''' stupid, he plays up another Osaka stereotype: being HotBlooded and arrogant. |
| 535 | * LightningBruiser: He's very fast and has surprisingly strong attacks (of all kinds) for his size. |
| 536 | * RedBaron: ''Kamisori Fighter'' ("Razor Fighter") |
| 537 | * RedemptionDemotion: Like Jito, he's hit hard by this (although it's less of a demotion in his case because he remains a violent jerk). Enemy Soda is a true menace and almost an EvilGenius, while Heroic Soda is just an average support player who dramatically lacks self-control. |
| 538 | * TallDarkAndSnarky |
| 539 | * TearsOfRemorse: [[spoiler: When expelled in the match against France]] |
| 540 | * TokenEvilTeammate: As both Hyuga and Jito TookALevelInKindness, Soda is currently the only dirty player in a national team that is somewhat composed by far less dirty players. |
| 541 | * UnknownRival: Develops an obssession with beating Tsubasa. |
| 542 | * UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: As said above, [[spoiler: what was supposed to be a mere ankle sprain for Tsubasa made him vulnerable to Souda's fouls, becoming a far more serious wound that coupled with his injured shoulder, put him at ''serious'' risk towards the end of the Junior High arc.]] |

| 554 | Younger than Tsubasa and Co. for two years, Nitta succeeded them after they left Nanaktsu Elementary. Then he goes to another school (Otomo) and gets the chance to be their rival.. |
| 555 | ---- |
| 556 | * AchillesHeel: Aside from his CripplingOverspecialization below, Coach Gamo takes notice that he can only shoot with his right leg during the WYC arc, and removes him from the team until he can use both legs effectively. |
| 557 | * AnimalMotif: The falcon. |
| 558 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Despite being younger than the lead generation, he's good enough to compete with them and he knows (and loves) it. Later loses the trait. |
| 559 | * AttackAttackAttack: A very offensively oriented player, his best strategy is just lunging forward with his crazy speed and trying to score. |
| 560 | * BigBadWannabe: During his career in the Otomo, he tries to shape itself as the next big rival in the series, complete with a team with [[EvilWearsBlack black uniforms]], overwhelming 4-on-1 tactics and another superb goalie. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't live up his expectations. |
| 561 | * BoisterousWeakling: While he ''is'' very talented, he's not as good as he believes to be at the beginning of the story. |
| 562 | * BrattyHalfPint: Literal, as he is quite petite. |
| 563 | * CripplingOverspecialization: He excels as a quick attacker and makes a decent leader, but the rest of his skills are mediocre at the best, at least at first. Similarly, his Falcon Shoot is the fastest shoot of the series, but it's actually very inaccurate, especially in contrast with shoots like Hyuga's (which manages to be both strong and accurate at once) or Tsubasa's (which is not very strong, but very artful), which impedes it from becoming a gamebreaking skill like them. |
| 564 | * CuteLittleFangs: To show his pettiness. |
| 565 | * FragileSpeedster: He is crazily fast, possibly even more than the canonical speedster Sano, and is overall a better singles player by having more initiative and leadership. However, his skill in other fields of the game is still small in comparison to lead players like Tsubasa, Misugi, Matsuyama or even Sano himself. Even his main attack technique ends up being very ineffective due to this. |
| 566 | * InstantExpert: One of his main strengths is that he is a very fast learner. |
| 567 | * HeelFaceTurn: Loses most of his arrogance after the Otomo is bested. |
| 568 | * HeterosexualLifePartners: With giant goalkeeper Isamu Ichijo. They became the hope of the Nankatsu after Tsubasa and Wakabayashi left the team and later kept their status in the Otomo. After that, Nitta went to the Japanese National Team and Ichijo disappeared. |
| 569 | * KidAppealCharacter: Young, small, rebellious and cocky. Deconstructed later, when he still loses for all his mouth. |
| 570 | * PaperTiger: His confidence, intimidating team and first showings do give the impression that Nitta is the next big menace of the series, but he turns out to be just a wannabe with a lot to learn. |
| 571 | * RedBaron: ''Hayabusa shooter'' (Peregrine Falcon Shooter) |
| 572 | * UnskilledButStrong: Lacks technical finesse, to the point often misses his best shoot and is actually not very good with any other technique. However, his enormous speed and maneuverability allows him to make up for it even in his first matches, and his natural ability to learn helps him polish his skills with training afterwards. |

| 578 | |
| 579 | The surprisingly tall keeper of the Otomo. |
| 580 | ---- |
| 581 | * BigBadWannabe: Very much like Nakanishi, he aspires to be a star goalkeeper like Wakabayashi or Wakashimazu. Actually, he is rather around Nakanishi's level, that is, better than the average unnamed keeper but not in the league of those two. |
| 582 | * TheBrute: To Nitta, also being appropriately huge. |
| 583 | * EyesAlwaysShut: His eyes are never seen. |
| 584 | * LightningBruiser: He is very fast for a giant like him, and his long limbs help a lot with his catches. |
| 585 | * SatelliteCharacter: He only appears as part of Nitta's singles career. |
| 586 | * SmallRoleBigImpact: Is a pretty unknown character, but the viewers will recognize him as the desperate-looking keeper who catches Tsubasa's first shoot in ''Captain Tsubasa'''s legendary first opening. |
| 587 | * YoungerThanTheyLook: His character design makes him look like an adult, but he is in the same age range as the rest of the cast. |

| 597 | -->Voiced by: Creator/ShigeruNakahara (original series), Shinobu Matsumoto (2018 anime), Goro Ohtsuka ('Tatakae Dream Team'' smartphone game) |
| 598 | |
| 599 | A enormously obese but surprisingly agile goalkeeper for the Naniwa. |
| 600 | ---- |
| 601 | * {{Acrofatic}}: He is gigantic, yet capable of big jumps to reach the ball. |
| 602 | * ArrogantKungFuGuy: Smirks at the Nanakatsu team and boasts of being the best keeper around. However, he is proved wrong. |
| 603 | * BigBadWannabe: Briefly. He presents himself as an invincible bully and the next great goalie, but this is quickly trounced. |
| 604 | * BigEater: Eats more than several guys of his team put together. |
| 605 | * BigFun: After his HeelFaceTurn. |
| 606 | * BoisterousWeakling: Claims to be the best keeper after Wakabayashi upon his introduction, and while he does show some initial effectivity in the job, he goes to lose to Tsubasa by five goals in a comparatively non-tough match, the worst showing by a star keeper in the entire series. Later becomes less boisterous as a consequence. |
| 607 | * BoringButPractical: |
| 608 | ** His best tactic is simply using his large body to obstruct shoots. Later Ishizaki jokes that, if Nakanishi eats too much, he can downright cover the entire goalposts. |
| 609 | ** His other tactic is relying on his kick power to quickly initiate counter attacks. By kicking the ball as hard as he can, he would get the ball inside the opposing side's penalty box just in mere seconds. Boring? Maybe, but it is damn useful. Too bad none of his strikers are significant. If only he had a goalgetting striker like Hyuga or Hino, he would be the highest assisting goalkeeper in the series. |
| 610 | * CantCatchUp: His aspirations to rival Wakabayashi are trumped very early, especially after a stronger candidate is introduced in Wakashimazu. Afterwards, although Nakanishi remains as the third best Japanese keeper (possibly shared with Ichijo), he stays very far from them in skill. |
| 611 | * CharacterTics: He has a habit of smirking while sticking out his tongue, especially after catching shots. |
| 612 | * CripplingOverspecialization: Initially looks like a subversion, as it turns out he is not just a StoneWall and can perform diving catches too. However, Tsubasa and company soon discover he is not very adaptable and does not have much more tricks. |
| 613 | * LightningBruiser: Nakanishi is enormous, but can jump pretty high and is not terribly slower than an average, medium-sized player his age. |
| 614 | * PaperTiger: His immense size makes for a difficult shoot and can intimidate his opponents, but while competent, he is nearly not as dangerous as he looks. |
| 615 | * StoneWall: While all the other Japanese keepers have at least one good field player in their teams, Nakanishi is the only star of the Naniwa, meaning he carries with all the weight of the matches himself. |
| 616 | * StoutStrength: Breaks the ground around him with a double punch in rage of being scored. |
| 617 | * UnskilledButStrong: Zig-zagged. It looks at first that his size is his only asset, but it is revealed he is surprisingly mobile and has some conventional skill to back it up. However, it ends up not being enough to keep up once his weaknesses are exposed. |
| 618 | * TheWorfEffect: Courtesy of Soda. |
| 619 | * VillainousBreakdown: When Tsubasa scores goal after goal on him, he actually tries to ''punch'' Tsubasa's leg in a fit of rage. See StoutStrength above. |

| 627 | -->''Latin-American DubNameChange: Aoi Shingo (the same, but with the order fully inverted)'' |
| 628 | |
| 629 | ->Voiced by: Creator/MasamiKikuchi (in ''Captain Tsubasa J''), Creator/ShowtaroMorikubo (in ''Road to 2002''), Creator/AyumuMurase (''Tatakae Dream Team'' smartphone game); Armando Coria (''Captain Tsubasa J''), Enrique Mederos (''Road to 2002'') [Latin American Spanish dub], Emilio García (''Captain Tsubasa J''), David Robles (''Road to 2002'') [European Spanish dub] |
| 630 | |
| 631 | A Japanese boy who admires Tsubasa so very much. He tired to make his own way in Italy but things were EXTREMELY hard for him there, since he was subjected to a huge BreakTheCutie process. Shingo managed to work through it, however, and becomes a good addition to the Japanese team. |
| 632 | ---- |
| 633 | * BoisterousBruiser: Even if he's actually diminutive. |
| 634 | * CheerfulChild |
| 635 | * ChekhovsGag: In the Asian preliminaries, his first attempt to use the Right-Angle Feint results in him accidentally leaving the ball behind on a stop. Come the World Youth finals, he does this ''on purpose'', fooling the Brazilian defender so that Tsubasa can pick the ball behind him and continue their counterattack. |
| 636 | * {{Determinator}} |
| 637 | * FragileSpeedster: Very fast, agile and technical, but his small size becomes a trouble when he faces the mighty Dutch defenders. |
| 638 | * HeroOfAnotherStory: ''Kaigai Gekito Hen in Calcio - Hi Izuru Kuni no Giocatore'' is this for both Hyuuga and him, as they get ready for a match between their teams. |
| 639 | * KidAppealCharacter |
| 640 | * OddFriendship: With Hyuuga, in WYC |
| 641 | * ThePollyanna: Nothing brings him down for too long. At most [[TenderTears he cries a little easily sometimes]], but then he wipes his tears away and bounces back. |
| 642 | * RedBaron: ''Principe del Sole'' (Prince of the Sun) |
| 643 | * ShorterMeansSmarter: He is petite, but quite fast-thinking and a survivor on his own right. |
| 644 | * SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: For all his achievement in WYC, Aoi still fails to secure a spot in Inter's Starting XI; hence, he accepts a transfer move to a club belong to Serie C division to get a regular game than sitting on the bench for indefinite time and losing his momentum rise. |
| 645 | * WideEyedIdealist: |
| 646 | ** Trying to enter Italian teams '''without''' any connection or notable achievement whatsoever? Pretty naive and unrealistic even by the standards of this series where Tsubasa, Wakabayashi, and Hyuga all join their respective clubs with little help from their own connections (Katagiri and Roberto, Mikami, and Matsumoto, respectively). |
| 647 | ** Even in the flashback when he played for Nakahara Junior High, he wanted to defeat Nankatsu Junior High despite the fact that his team is a hilariously underclassed ButtMonkey compared to Nankatsu and was extremely unhappy with his coach and teammates' (most if not all of which are his senpais, no less) perceived incompetence. This contributes to his FriendlessBackground and makes him TheFriendNobodyLikes in his junior high school. |
| 648 | ** In the World Youth, he's upset that Italy was defeated by Uruguay before their match against Japan and called them out for losing. This practically [[UnderestimatingBadassery ignores]] the fact that Uruguay ''is'' a South American team where soccer's popularity rivals that of Europe. |
| 649 | * WildCard: He is the trump card of the Japanese team in the Asian qualification round. |

| 657 | * TheBusCameBack: He returns after a ''long'' absence during the ''Rising Sun'' arc, on the eve of the Japan vs. Spain semifinal match in the Madrid Olympics. |
| 658 | * {{Determinator}}: As seen in the match against Sweden. |
| 659 | * GameBreakingInjury: Twice. |
| 660 | ** [[spoiler:In the WYC arc, taking Levin's shots at point-blank range renders him too injured to continue playing the match or the rest of the tournament. Fortunately, Matsuyama returns to play the extra time for him, after thanking him for his sacrifice]]. |
| 661 | ** [[spoiler:While he contributes to Sampdoria's victory in the Serie B championship, he's heavily injured in the last play by a foul, leaving him unable to join the Japanese Team for the Madrid Olympics]]. |
| 662 | * HeroicSacrifice: Sorta. [[spoiler:He takes ''several'' point-blank soccer shots from Levin until he can't move, all to protect his goal. His companions and specially Tsubasa refer to this as the trope.]] |
| 663 | * NasalTrauma: [[spoiler:He suffers a fractured nose in the match against Sweden after taking the third of Levin's shots in a row]]. |
| 664 | * RedBaron: "The Fearless Red Stopper". |
| 665 | * SpannerInTheWorks: Serves as this during the Sweden vs Japan match. As he's replacing Matsuyama, he's the only Japanese player the Sweedish team has no data about, which allows him to neutralize Levin's attacks for quite a while. |
| 666 | * TakingTheBullet: Non-lethal variant. [[spoiler:During the Japan vs. Sweden match, he repeatedly blocks Levin's shoots ''at point-blank'' with his body so Genzo doesn't get injured by them]]. |

| 671 | ---- |
| 672 | * BreaktheCutie: Not only his career failed to lift off the ground in Argentina, but [[spoiler:his girlfriend fell victim to DeathByChildbirth and he's had to raise their child alone.]] |
| 673 | * GoodParents: He has a really cute daughter, Risa. He clearly adores her and [[DaddysGirl she loves him back.]] |
| 674 | * JackOfAllStats: He's been described as such since he's got good power, speed, defense and even some potential for goalkeeping. If not for his insecurity, he'd be a borderline perfect player. |
| 675 | * StageFright: His FatalFlaw: not only he's a quiet and shy person, but he tends to lose his confidence ''very'' easily. |

Once they're defeated once and for all, Matsuyama, [[SecretKeeper who already knew the true nature of RJ7]] explains to the rest of Japan Youth about this and [=RJ7=] players immediately become friendly and [[GracefulLoser congratulate Japan Youth for defeating them]]. |
| 682 | * ThePsychoRangers: Much less villainous than usual, since this is a sports manga without real evil characters. At ''most'' they're temporary {{Punch Clock Villain}}s. |
