Ishimaru serves as the Devil Bats' second running back. Sena recruited him from the track team, taking over half of his paper route in the process. He participated in the Koigahama match but suffered an injury because Sena failed to distinguish between the types of cleats. Ishimaru continued playing for the Devil Bats, despite his presence going unnoticed by the team. However, this obscurity benefits him during games, as opponents fail to notice when he receives the ball. Many teams mutter curses to themselves in his presence after plays, typically remarking that "he has no presence" or that "We didn't notice him". As the track and field captain, Hiruma usually addresses him as "Track Star".
Ishimaru frequently acts as a fullback, blocking for Sena on screen passes and other trick plays. Like Yukimitsu, Ishimaru also lets his hair grow out, yet no one seems to notice. He is known as the "Stealth Running Back", the "Shadowless God Of Death", or simply "plain" Ishimaru. He is such a pushover that he is willing to go along with whatever happens around him. His catchphrase is, "It's alright."
