Eriko Tase is the captain of her high school's girls' soccer team and plays as both a forward and a midfielder, wearing number 7. She quickly became the team leader after all the older members quit, and her steady, adaptable style makes her the reliable core of the group. Inspired by new teammates and a coach, she sets her heart on reaching the Kanto Tournament, even though the path is tough.
Eriko Tase wears the number 7 on her uniform. She is a second-year high school student, often seen in her team's soccer gear.
Eriko is careful and sometimes sensitive, often feeling nervous before games and saying things that reveal her worries.
But when the match starts, she changes completely.
She cheers loudly for her team, calms those who get anxious, and shows strong leadership on the field.
Eriko is a second-year student at Warabi Seinan High School and became the girls’ soccer club captain after all the older students quit before her new school year.
They left because they lost faith in the coach and joined other club teams instead.
Sumire Suō decided to join Warabi Seinan High School after seeing what happened, because she felt a special connection with Eriko and her situation.
Eriko can play both attack and defense well, making her a smart and handy player.
She is skilled enough to help in any area on the field where she is needed.
Sumire Suō admires Eriko and was inspired to join the same school after seeing the tough moment when Eriko was left alone leading the team.
Becoming the Captain
Right before moving up to her second year, Eriko suddenly becomes the captain because all her older teammates leave.
She accepts the challenge and does her best to lead the club, even though she has to deal with lots of problems.
Team Changes and New Goals
When new first-year students with talent join the club, and Noako Nōmi becomes the coach, the team starts to change.
Eriko is excited and decides that the team should try to reach the Kanto Tournament, a big goal that inspires everyone.
Leadership in Action
Even though she feels pressure, Eriko steps up as a leader both on and off the field.
At one point, she and her fellow second-year players try all sorts of creative plans to convince the boys' soccer coach to let them practice together.
Though their ideas don't work because the boys' coach is stubborn and odd, Eriko never gives up and keeps her team together, showing true leadership.
Eriko became captain in just her second year of high school, which is unusual.
She is known for turning her nervousness into loud encouragements during games.
She is the reason Sumire Suō joined the team.
"I know it's hard, but as long as we work together, we can do anything!"
"I'm nervous, but I'll give it everything I've got!"
