Meet the characters from Inazuma Eleven

Fidio Ardena

Okay, Fidio is one of those dramatic, chef-hatted types of players—posh, a little theatrical, and absolutely obsessed with style (like he probably ironed his socks this morning). He plays like an artist who thinks the pitch is a canvas and yes he will do a flashy trick when a simple pass would do, because why not. There’s a soft, almost ridiculous side under the polish—collects postcards, cries at old movies sometimes, but then will stare you down like a rival in a spaghetti western. He’s very proud, also embarrassingly humble when no one’s watching, which is somehow the worst and best thing about him.

Arion Sherwind

Arion bursts into a room like a theme song played at full volume—boundless energy, one hundred percent believe-in-your-dreams vibes, and hair that refuses to be tamed. He’s the heart-on-his-sleeve type who rallies people with pep talks then forgets where he left his cleats five minutes later, classic. Gets hyper-focused during matches and suddenly you remember every time he promised to learn piano (and maybe did, for a week). He annoys enemies by being too earnest and somehow turns that into a superpower; it’s loud and kind and kind of exhausting—in the best way.

Yukimura Hyouga

Yukimura is the “serious but secretly soft” package—quiet stare, precision play, like he’s calculating chess moves while everyone else is doing hopscotch. He’s intense in a dignified way but also has weird little habits, like memorizing train schedules for fun and then forgetting birthdays, which is suspicious. Expect stoic one-liners followed by a very emotional soundtrack that you didn’t ask for but will definitely get. He’s dependable, a bit dramatic, and oddly fond of tiny plush toys he’d never admit to owning.

Shawn Froste

Shawn is literally a walking glacier—cool, composed, slightly broody, with those epic ice-themed moves that make opponents slip into existential dread. He’s the “lone wolf but actually deeply loyal” trope, will drift off to practise alone but shows up for you when it matters, always. There’s this scene-stealing paradox where he loves solitude but will join group karaoke at 2 AM and absolutely belt the high note, like, what? Also, yes he has a younger-sibling soft spot and maybe hides a secret stash of ridiculous snacks.

Jude Sharp

Jude is the chessmaster of the team—glasses, crisp plans, always three steps ahead and a little smug about it (in the best way). He analyzes everything to death and then smiles like he solved a puzzle you didn’t even know existed; sometimes you want to shake him and sometimes you just give him the victory cup. He’s got a surprisingly silly streak—collects bizarre mugs or makes puns, which is somehow less compatible with his dramatic entrance music. Totally brilliant, mildly terrifying, and inexplicably fond of perfect spreadsheets.

Axel Blaze

Axel is the cool, broody striker who melts into a coach’s sigh and a kid’s heart at the same time—fire in his boots, calm in his jaw, the kind of person people whisper about in awe. He’s serious about practice but will randomly laugh at a terrible joke and you will forget he’s intimidating for five seconds. Protective of teammates, suspicious of mirrors, and probably owns more scarfs than seems necessary; likes ramen after midnight, hates losing more than breathing. He’s classic, dramatic, and somehow also very tender (but never says it out loud).

Fei Rune

Fei is theatrical, flashy, and loves a good entrance—think sparkles, dramatic hand gestures, and ridiculous confidence that mostly works. Plays with flair and a strange mix of discipline and chaos; shows up late sometimes but then does a move that makes you forget the lateness existed. Feels like an international mystery—claims to hate spicy food and then orders the hottest thing on the menu, so who knows. Absolutely the player you watch when you need panache, and also the one who keeps forgetting where they put their phone.

Ibuki Munemasa

Ibuki gives very disciplined samurai vibes but then will drop into terrible puns while cleaning his equipment, which is confusing and charming. Stoic, reliable, quietly intense on defense—like a living wall that hums classical music for motivation (or was it heavy metal? memory’s fuzzy). He’s ritualistic about warm-ups but once tripped over a cone and denied it passionately, that’s on record. Has a tea set tucked in the locker and will insist tea solves everything, which honestly sometimes it does.

Raimon Natsumi

Raimon is sunshine with a whistle—endless enthusiasm, clipboard energy, and the kind of cheer that makes you want to run ten laps for no reason. She’s supportive to a fault, organizes snacks, and will absolutely start a chant at the drop of a hat (and sometimes mid-interview, whoops). Has an odd stubborn streak—says she hates being in the spotlight but will stage a dramatic entrance anyway because morale is important. Loves cupcakes but pretends she’s “just here for morale,” which is a lie everyone is letting slide on purpose.

Mark Evans

Mark is pure, unfiltered optimism wrapped in a goalkeeper’s gloves—tiny, determined, speaks like his heart is a megaphone, and will sacrifice his knees for a save like it’s a badge of honor. He’s the kind of leader who believes in everyone, cries at the end of training, and then gives a rousing speech that somehow fixes the team’s morale and the vending machine. Collects tiny trophies and probably sleeps with a team scarf, but also has this goofy confidence that makes enemies respect him. Simple, earnest, stubborn, and utterly impossible not to root for.
