Nitta, Shinichi

He is a close friend of Sasaki. His role in the story is minor. However, surprisingly, he often becomes the savior in the heat of the game. His ability is creating offside traps, which often helped the team in dire situations when dangerous opponent strikers were attacking. His innocent face combined with great offside timing proves true alongside the Kakegawa team. Although he is good at defending, he sometimes made mistakes by soloing the dribble and pushing the opponents alone. This causes more advanced opponents to easily retake the ball from him and counterattack Kakegawa.
