Shou is a sixth grader. Initially, he is the last remaining member of the Momoyama Predators, which leads the Manager to disband the team. Shou loves soccer, even though he is pretty bad at it. Despite this, he sets out to find members to revive the team. First, he meets Erika and her dog practicing soccer in the park and immediately asks her to join. After "recruiting" Erika, they have a falling-out when she realizes that there is no team for her to really join. The two come across Shimizu Misaki in the park where they were playing and challenge her to a 2 v 1 match. The two are crushed, but in the end, Shou manages to steal the ball and score. Shou is very strong-willed and loud, and though his soccer skills aren't so good in the beginning, he gets better over time. His greatest asset is his ability to never take his eye off the ball and to see the patterns in the way players move. Misaki says that he will grow to become an amazing soccer player some day. Shou typically plays left defender.
