Basic Profile Name: Kaishu Sano Birthday: December 30, 2000 Age: 25 (as of August 2026) Height: 178cm Weight: 76kg Blood Type: A Jersey Number: 24 Extremely shy and prone to nervousness. Both he and those around him admit he is quite "shy" and "easily nervous." When participating in club events or appearing before the media, he often shows a fresh, embarrassed expression, a gap in personality that supporters find endearing. Quiet and reserved. He has a very gentle personality and is not the type to shout or try to stand out off the pitch. Coaches have described him as a "lion at home, a lamb abroad," meaning he tends to take a step back and stay quiet except in front of family or close friends he trusts. Consistency on the pitch and high professionalism. His "quietness" is evaluated by European scouts as a major strength in soccer, as he is not swayed by emotions on the pitch and can maintain high intensity. He rarely gets sent off for rough play or has emotional outbursts; he possesses a craftsman-like mentality, constantly running at full power for the team. Stoic warrior. Once the match starts, a switch flips, and he shows a fierce fighting spirit, going for the ball more intensely than anyone. He maintains a gritty attitude of giving his all in daily practice, possessing a stoic nature that inspires his teammates through his actions. He previously suffered from Overtraining Syndrome.
