Character Name: Kakei Shun, or Shun Kakei for the American folk
Series: Eyeshield 21
Gender: Male
Age: 16
Sexuality: The only way you're going to get noticed is if you're a strong athlete or you play football.
Species: Human
Appearance: At 6'7'', Kakei cuts quite an intimidating figure. His most recognized his feature are his piercing blue eyes that could probably glare a hole in a rock. Kakei, due to being a linebacker for all of his football career, is muscular, but not hulking in size. Due to his height, he is slender and his notably long arms give him quite a reach. If not for his height and blue eyes, he would look like any other Japanese school student with his black hair and pale features. Kakei is usually seen wearing whatever seems to be lying around in his room, which is more often than not a t-shirt and jeans.
Personality: "It's not 'I want to win.' We're going to win!" Ever since he was young, Kakei has always stood out of a crowd. While he's too modest to admit to that fact, it has made him a very authoritative figure. One the field or off of it, he makes a good leader, sometimes without noticing he's doing it. Kakei is extremely level-headed and calm, likely to analyze a situation before freaking out over it. He can even carry on informative conversations while chaos is going on just behind him (proved when he tells Sena all he knows about the Bando Spiders for the runner back's upcoming match, while Mizumachi and Monta make a ruckus in the background). Unfortunately, that makes him a little cold to others, not to mention intimidating. He's very hard to approach or even to strain a conversation out of. He's not shy at all, but he does have a hard time communicating. Kakei is one of those people that believes "words through action." His modesty is often used against him, as he can obtain an inferiority complex, but only if something is so frustrating he feels daunted by it. Kakei is generally compassionate to people with worries or problems, but he will only help people for so long before he declares that they must stand on their own two feet.
Abilities: Kakei is a normal human, so he doesn't have any superpowers or extraordinary abilities. He's a great linebacker and knows how to use his height to his advantage to take down people. He's also a great strategist. Unfortunately, he may not really know how to defend himself outside of a game situation, so running from crabs is about all he can do.
Manhattanite or outsider? Outsider
History: Little is know about Kakei before was transferred to America, but since he's just a regular Japanese kid, it's safe to say he had parents and a place to live. It in unclear why he attended middle school in the States, but it probably had something to do with his parents' work. The point is, it was at Phoenix University's affiliated middle school that Kakei started his football career. Even as a middle schooler, Kakei was taller than all his classmates. Unfortunately, Kakei never used his height to his advantage, even at the prompting of his coach, who he regularly called a failure. After so long, he felt inferior to all American players, never understanding why he couldn't be the same successes as them. He managed to make it to the match against Notre Dame University's middle schoolers and it was here that Kakei faced off against the legendary "Eyeshield 21" for the first time. He was utterly and swiftly defeated on a one-on-one play by the Japanese running back. Kakei's faith in football was restored after Eyeshield said they would play against each other next year. He trained harder than he ever had and started to learn how to use his frightening height to his advantage. Kakei even became his team's ace player. By the time the next playoff rolled around a year later, the Japanese Eyeshield 21 was nowhere to be found. The students and faculty of the Notre Dame middle school acted as if they had never heard of him. Finally, Kakei was able to pull some information out of a student that revealed that Eyeshield had gone back to Japan sometime earlier.
Shun followed right after him.
Immediately upon returning to Japan, Kakei signed up for the football team at his new school, Kyoshin. Unfortunately for him, the team was a little mediocre (even the captain admitted to it), so Kakei took it upon himself to recruit players. "Tall" players. Kakei wanted to base the team, the Poseidons, on height alone, believing that height and skill would win any match. The team had little luck recruiting the people they needed, and even ended up recruiting well into July (which is unusual for Japanese schools). Finally, a new hopeful approached them, and he was everything Kakei wanted in a teammate. Mizumachi Kengo, the "evolving genius." Mizumachi was perhaps the only person on the team who matched his drive and love for the sport. Together, the two managed to recruit strong players to the Poseidons, allowing them to blaze a trail of victory through the playoffs. When he learned of the "fake" Eyeshield 21, Sena, playing for the Devil Bats, Kakei declared him an impostor, knowing the Eyeshield 21 he had encountered in America to be taller and stronger. Kakei despised Sena and believed him unworthy of his title before and then throughout the Kyoshin-Deimon match. After being defeated at the end of the game by Sena's newest technique, the Devil Bat Hurricane, Kakei deemed Sena worthy of the title Eyeshield 21. Kakei warned Sena that the Eyeshield 21 he met in America will one day stand against him. Kakei became a friendly acquaintance of the Devil Bats and appeared at several of their games as a spectator. When he learns that Sena will play against Yamato, whom he believed and later confirmed to be the true Eyeshield 21, Kakei vowed to teach Juumonji, a Devil Bats linebacker, all of his hand techniques in the hope that Juumonji would be able to help Sena defeat Yamato. The fateful day arrived almost too soon; the day which Kakei would watch his hero face off against his ally.
