Shin Seijuro
	Birthday: 7/9 Year: 2nd / Gr. 11 Jersey #: 40 Position: Linebacker 40 Yard Dash: 4.36 sec Bench Press: 140 kg
Shin is called the fastest linebacker in the history of Japanese football. He is a silent guy, who is feared by many players because of his strength, speed and capability to read the game. His spear tackle is his trademark. Although Shin is in the shadow of his fellow player and movie star Haruto Sakuraba, Shin is the secret ace of the Oujou White Knights. Since Sena beat Shin in the last play of the second Spring tournament game, Shin trains as much as he can, to be ready for the rematch between him and Eyeshield 21 in the Christmas bowl.
Sakuraba Haruto
	Birthday: 3/12 Year: 2nd / Gr. 11 Jersey #: 18 Position: Wide Receiver 40 Yard Dash: 4.9 sec Bench Press: 70 kg
In his first year at Oujou Private Junior High, Haruto Sakuraba drew all the attention to himself because of his height. He became a Wide Receiver for the Oujou White Knights. With him, Shin entered the team. But coach Shogun was more interested in Shin than in Sakuraba. Being always in the shadow of Shin’s success, Sakuraba felt lonely. He couldn’t prove himself as a worthy player either. While he was walking down the street, Miracle Ito of Jari Productions noticed his good looks and height. Through Ito, Sakuraba became very famous. People, mostly girls, thought automatically that he is Oujou’s new ace. Since then he feels a lot of pressure on him in every game. Due a tackle by Sena, Sakuraba gets injured. In the hospital he meets Torakichi, who is a big fan of him. When he got out of the hospital, he finally decided to change and practice as hard as Shin does. Now his skills as a receiver improved and he can call himself an ace.
Takami Ichiro
	Birthday: 9/14 Year: 3rd / Gr. 12 Jersey #: 3 Position: Quarterback 40 Yard Dash: 5.7 sec Bench Press: 85 kg
Takami is Oujou White Knights quarterback. He is a very slow runner but his passes are thrown with precision and accuracy. Most of his training Takami spends calculating pass routes and passing the football to the players. He also has the ability, like Shin, to read games very well. He had an injury in the leg before and wasn’t able to be a quarterback, but he worked hard and eventually became one. Takami sees Haruto Sakuraba as his perfect receiver because they both are tall and will serve as quite a weapon in football.
Otawara Makoto
	Birthday: 6/15 Year: 2nd / Gr. 11 Jersey #: 60 Position: Lineman/Guard 40 Yard Dash: 5.4 sec Bench Press: 140 kg
Otawara is a large lineman for the Oujou White Knights. Most of his body consists out of muscles. He takes real pride in his body. Other than that he is just loud and real stupid. He is good friends with Shin and Takami. He also competes with Kurita all the time, to find out who the strongest lineman is.
Ikari Daigo
	Birthday: 5/5 Year: 1st / Gr. 10 Jersey #: 66 Position: Defensive Line 40 Yard Dash: ? Bench Press: ?
Ikari is a temperamental character. He has yet to play in a game, so his true strength is unknown. Because of his behavior the team puts him in chains. For most of the games he gets disqualified, before they even started. He takes real pride in his team and whenever he hears someone talking trash about a team member or the coach he gets crazy and furiously. Oujou's coach sees in him, after all, an useful addition to the team.
