10	--> Formations : [[CounterAttack 4-5-1]] (friendly vs Kijikita) and 4-3-3 (regional final)
11
12	Shortened as Kijinan, Kijiyama South Girls FC is the currently reigning regional champions and perennial participants in the national tournament.
13
14	----
15
16	Kijinan has a strong winning tradition and a talent pool so deep even the first-year prodigies on the team can only pray to be included in the starting lineup. Two years before the start of the series, however, three (then) first-years Riria Konbaru, Jaina-Airi Mishiki, and Shuna Sorimachi managed to crack into Kijinan's starting lineup through sheer skill and talent. As third-years these three are now the best players on the team.
17
18	----
19
20	As a testament to their strength, Kijinan employs powerful and flexible formations to suit their available players ''and'' their opponents' weaknesses. During their friendly match against Kijikita, they employed a [[CounterAttack highly versatile 4-5-1 formation]] wherein they are able to build [[StoneWall solid defensive first and middle thirds]] with Jaina on the pitch, and then [[LightningBruiser go in for the kill]] with the unstoppable offense of Shuna and another striker (Mia or Chizuru).
21
22	----
23
24	Kijinan is currently defending their regional title and the right to play in the national tournament from Kijikita in the regional final. [[spoiler: They have successfully defended their regional title by defeating Kijikita in the finals, 4-3.]]
25

31	** Their captain Riria Konbaru is one to Seiichi Yukimura. Both were revealed later into the story as the true captains of their respective teams, but with different motivations to quit their respective sports. Yukimura has a rare neurological disease which may stop him from playing any sport forever, while Riria dreams of becoming an elementary school teacher and plans to retire from football after graduation.
32	** Their vice-captain Jaina-Airi Mishiki is one to Genichiro Sanada. Both [[DrillSergeantNasty suffer no incompetence among their teammates]] and have highly aggressive playing styles and {{Signature Move}}s: Mishiki with Jaina's World, and Sanada with Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan.
33	** Their third ace player Shuna Sorimachi is one to Renji Yanagi. She is basically [[ForceAndFinesse the Finesse to Jaina's Force]], just like how Yanagi is the Finesse to Sanada's Force.
34	* {{Foil}} : To Kijikita Girls FC, a RagtagBunchOfMisfits that took the regional tournament by storm almost overnight, in contrast to Kijinan perennially winning the regional championship and qualifying for the national tournament.
35	* TheRival : By virtue of being the other Kijiyama high school and having the same winning tradition as their crosstown counterpart Kijikita Boys FC.
36	* OpposingSportsTeam : Among Kijikita's four opponents in the series, Kijinan is the first team to be introduced that fit the archetype by virtue of being [[TheRival a crosstown rival]] to the former and by being far more established and organized than the newly-created girls' football team of Kijikita.
