Ryou Ishizaki

Ryou Ishizaki is Tsubasa Ozora’s lifelong best friend and the former captain of the Nankatsu elementary squad. While he lacks the natural talent found in many of his teammates, his determination eventually secured him a spot on the national roster. He is best known for his signature "face block" technique, a high-risk move used to shield the goal. This tactic was famously used during the World Youth Cup Finals, where the impact left him unconscious.
