Urabe, Hanji

浦辺反次

In elementary school, Urabe was Ishizaki's rival. He was selected as one of Nankatsu SC's players. His arrogant demeanor led him to shout at his teammates in a humorous manner, much like Ishizaki.
During middle school, Urabe became the captain of Otomo's soccer team. Along with Takeshi Kishida, Masao Nakayama, and Koji Nishio, he formed the "Otomo Quartet." In Captain Tsubasa: World Youth, he was a member of the Nankatsu High School team. He informed his teammates that he would quit soccer after graduation to help his family run their tofu shop. However, Coach Gamo persuaded him to join the R.J.7, a training squad for All Japan Youth. Playing the role of the antagonist, the grueling training regimen helped him improve, and together with the other R.J.7 members, they defeated most of the All Japan Youth players. The truth was revealed to everyone after the first round of the Asian preliminaries: Urabe's true intention was to strengthen All Japan Youth. He joined the All Japan Youth team following Misaki's serious injury. He participated in the final match against Brazil to replace Ishizaki, and ultimately continued playing soccer.
In Road to 2002, Urabe joined Jubilo Iwata alongside Ishizaki.
