Goro Kumagaya is a tall, established middle-school goalkeeper who aimed to join Yokonan High School, regarded as one of the elite institutions for its football club. He failed to do so and ended up at the lowly-ranked school opposite Yokonan due to an accident. However, he met Shingo, Hideki, and Kazuhito Oda, all skillful footballers, and together in the Kawasaki High School football club, they challenge Yokonan and any other schools they must face in order to improve and become champions. Any setbacks they encounter serve as opportunities for further improvement; one such instance was the discovery of Goro's natural talent as an ace striker.
