Keiichi Aniya Right-handed pitcher/batter • 181cm • 75kg • Type O Long toss: 123m • 50m dash: 6.0s • Batting average: .600 Person he respects: The Coach Positions: Pitcher, First Baseman, Outfielder (Center). Futakotamagawa High School, Class 2-B. A delinquent leader with outstanding looks and athletic nerves who is popular with girls. He is the ace and the cleanup hitter. He possesses extraordinary levels of skill in running, hitting, and fielding, with a batting average exceeding .600. He chose Nikogaku because he hated prestigious schools. In his first year, he made the bench as a reserve outfielder, but witnessed the incident that triggered the downfall of the Nikogaku baseball club. Furthermore, after seeing Kawakami give up 12 runs in a single inning at the Summer Koshien, he realized the gap in level and fell into a depression, thinking effort was futile and considering quitting baseball. Afterward, he spent a self-indulgent high school life hanging out with other delinquents, but could never fully discard his passion for the game. Given his natural arm strength and hitting ability, it was inevitable he would be chosen as the "Ace and 4th Batter," a responsibility he fulfilled without arrogance. Through intense practice, he polished his innate baseball sense. Initially prone to playing for himself, he learned the importance of teamwork through the growth and encouragement of his teammates. He basically prefers direct confrontations and avoids intentional walks. His fastball reaches a maximum of 155 km/h. He has a sharp face with powerful eyes and a clean, slightly long jawline. His sharp, almond-shaped eyes combined with natural, thick eyebrows give him a dignified and cool impression. He has a straight nose and thin lips. His expression is usually calm, giving off a mature aura. His hair is a black medium wolf cut with natural volume on top and a long, light flick at the nape. His bangs are loosely parted near the center with dynamic strands framing his face, creating a messy yet stylish look. It is a light, wild hairstyle with layers throughout. He is characterized by a blunt, confident, and hot-blooded personality that deeply values his friends. He primarily uses "I" (rough, masculine). His speech is typically masculine, using phrases like "It ain't..." or "...right?" "Damn right! You idiot!"
