Character: Sakuraba Haruto
Series: Eyeshield 21
Character Age: 16
Canon: Eyeshield 21 is yet another sports manga that runs in Shounen Jump -- the sport of choice being American football. The series focuses on Kobayakawa Sena and the Deimon Devil Bats as they aim to reach the Christmas Bowl, and the teams they play against along the way.
Seemingly upbeat and self-assured, Sakuraba Haruto is the receiver for the Oujou White Knights, one of the front-running teams in the region. While he is called the 'ace' of the team by fans, Sakuraba is about as average as players come. Football player and student by day, he moonlights as an idol and flounces about modeling and doing commercials (all fully endorsed by his shady manager, of course), which is where his popularity stems from. He's even released a CD single. Nevermind that the boy can't carry a tune! That's what synthesizers are for!
Behind the scenes, Sakuraba constantly dwells on his average skills as a football player and stresses himself out as he tries to live up to the stories the fans have made up about him on the field. Nevertheless, he tries to keep a good face up when out in front of people and is determined to try his hardest to get better and become an ace in his own right.
Note: Sakuraba is being taken from just before volume 11.

Hey, guys! Excuse me, you over there! Sorry, I don't mean to interrupt or anything, but it looks like I got turned around just a bit back that way. You wouldn't have happened to see a man that's just a bit shorter than me, with glasses and a gold tooth right here, would you? Wha- no, ma'am, he is not my "sugar daddy." We were going to film a commercial here, but it looks like I got separated from the rest of them somehow.
So, what place did they pick to film this thing at, anyway? I thought they mentioned a name somewhere in my shooting script for it. Ah, let me see ... here, here it is! "Hey, kiddos! Looking for an unforgettable experience this summer that will extend to the next? Wanna question the theories about the water supply and tent pegs? Nevermind your old summer camps with your little pony rides -- in Camp Fuck You Die, pony rides you!"
This script is, ah. Well, it's different for these sorts of things! Say, how does a pony r-- ... Oh.
I, uh. Well, it's probably just a work in progress! And in any case, it seems I even have fans here, too. That's, ah, great, really. Ma'am, you're looking a little unhealthy there, maybe you should go lay down -- w-wow, they're friendly, huh! So, how about the weather! Getting really hot out here, isn't it? I-I think you're going to need that, maybe you should just reattach that uhm. Well, humidity aside, it can't be all that ba--

Ma'am, I- no. I'm not signing that.
