Age: 26 Height: 180cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Known for his center part, center part wolf cut, or two-block center part. Why he's funny: On the pitch, he's a super handsome and cool goal-scorer, but he's actually quite an airhead. In behind-the-scenes content like the official JFA TV YouTube, he's often teased by teammates for his fluffy, unique way of talking and his slightly ditzy behavior.

Age: 33 Height: 176cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Often seen with a short two-block (very short/short hair) or a center part style. Why he's funny: Contrary to his cool appearance, he has a unique 'my pace' attitude seen in interviews and off-duty moments. There's a huge gap between his image and the wild stories from his university days.

Age: 26 Height: 179cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Characterized by a two-block style with clean-shaven sides or short hair. Why he's funny: The overwhelming mood maker of the younger generation. He's incredibly talkative and will dive right in to tease anyone, regardless of whether they are seniors or juniors. His high energy is said to make him the successor to Yuto Nagatomo, and his presence alone brightens the team's atmosphere instantly.

Age: 25 Height: 173cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Short hair with clean-shaven sides and naturally swept bangs, or his previously talked-about mesh highlights. Why he's funny: His word choice in interviews is outstanding. Since his teens, he has been firing off witty jokes and sharp retorts at adult reporters. His responses to foreign media in Spanish are also full of humor, where his quick thinking leads directly to laughs.

Age: 28 Height: 172cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Clean two-block with a 7:3 up-bang style. Actually the biggest 'teasing target' in the Japan national team. Because of his flashy looks and statements, he might seem unapproachable at first, but he's the biggest butt of the jokes within the team. Especially from his best friend Ko Itakura and junior Yukinari Sugawara, who say things like "Ritsu, isn't your face round today?" or "Your hair is hilarious today" (elementary school level teasing). His reaction, shouting "You're kidding me, man! (lol)" in thick Kansai dialect while looking happy, is often shown on JFA's official videos, making fans laugh at how much of a 'beloved character' he really is.

Age: 40 Height: 170cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Known for his headband style when he's fired up, and past short styles in blonde or red hair. Why he's funny: His energy is always at a maximum. Whether it's his "Bravo!" persona in SNS videos and TV appearances or his talk show skills that rival professional comedians when teasing those around him, he's a constant source of entertainment.

Age: 27 Height: 190cm Professional Footballer (Goalkeeper) Hairstyle: A clean, refreshing style based on a two-block or short mash cut. Why he's funny: Even among the goalkeepers, he's quite the 'airhead/beloved character.' Despite his serious appearance, when he starts talking, he's somewhat ditzy and often gets teased by senior goalkeepers and field players. The unique 'relaxed vibe' he gives off makes him the team's healing presence.

Age: 26 Height: 186cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Loose perm in a 'reverse style' swept back from the forehead. Why he's funny: He's a physically imposing, tough defender, but on the inside, he's a total 'joker and teasing target.' He's very close with his same-generation peers like Yukinari Sugawara and Takefusa Kubo; when they gather, the loving 'teasing' (which is practically a public lecture) towards Seko begins. He responds with a huge smile while being overwhelmed, making him the team's new star mood maker.

Age: 29 Height: 178cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Natural short black hair. Why he's funny: Usually intellectual and calm, his interviews are the definition of serious. However, the 'super sadistic lion-at-home' side he shows only to close friends (especially Ao Tanaka and Reo Hatate) is hilarious. The impact of his 'true face'—smiling while harshly dissing his friends or suddenly acting up with childlike innocence—is immense.

Age: 28 Height: 173cm Professional Footballer Hairstyle: Very short hair grown out or blonde. Why he's funny: Contrary to his explosive speed on the pitch, the character he shows in his private life and on SNS is surreal. His posts teasing his own shaved head, his heartwarming (but slightly funny) interactions with his daughter, and the gap of saying funny things with a deadpan expression are very popular.
