He instills the conviction in everyone that "As long as Maki is here, Kainan will not lose." The captain and spiritual pillar of the team. Key teammates include his 3rd-year contemporary and sharpshooter Jin Soichiro, 1st-year rookie Kiyota Nobunaga, 3rd-year center Takasago Kazuma, and 3rd-year forward Miyagi Yoshinori.
