His weapon is explosive acceleration. His left-footed shots are also powerful.
He's not very smart, and often fails to communicate effectively when using complex terms or foreign words he doesn't fully understand, earning him the nickname "Idiot Zantetsu" from Reo and Seishirō. However, he also has a calm side, such as when he calms down an enraged Reo.
He dislikes being called an idiot by people he is not close to. In elementary school, he hated being mocked for his inability to calculate transportation fares, so he would run instead of using public transport, which is when he discovered his speed and started playing soccer. His dream is to become the world's most respected idiot by reaching the top in soccer.
During the preliminaries (at the start of the tag game), he had the highest rank in the building.
At the start of the second screening, he was teamed up with Futago, but by the time they broke through the second screening, he was on the same team as Seishirō, Chigiri, and Barō, suggesting that he advanced by being poached after they defeated him.
In the match against the U-20 Japan national team, he wasn't chosen as a starter but was selected as one of the substitute members chosen by Eiga.
In the "New Hero Wars," he chose France because they "seemed smart."
After the match against England, he secured an annual salary of 8 million yen. In the match against Spain, he played in a formation centered around Ryūsei, raising his salary to 23 million yen.
His family runs a dental clinic.
