Koutaro Sasaki

Koutaro Sasaki is a second-year student and the Bando Spiders' elite kicker. A direct rival to Musashi, he changed his team's entire strategy to prioritize long-distance field goals and perfect accuracy. However, his reliance on precision makes him predictable, and he occasionally falters under high pressure. He is often seen grooming his hair or using his signature "smart" catchphrases, and he shares a complicated bond with his childhood friend, Juri Sawai.
