Suzuna Taki (瀧 鈴音, Taki Suzuna) is the self-appointed cheerleader captain for the Deimon Devil Bats and the younger sister of Natsuhiko Taki.
Contents
Appearance
Suzuna is a cute short girl with chin-length blue hair that frames her face with bangs falling over her nose and blue eyes.
She’s usually shown wearing either her cheerleading outfit or her school uniform, usually with a pair of roller blades. She’s very self-conscious about her chest.
Personality
Suzuna is a cheerful and outgoing girl who has a lot of friends.
History
Later, Suzuna follows the team back to Japan after her brother accepts Sena’s offer to join the Devil Bats (he didn’t get picked for the American football team he was trying to enter). She then becomes a cheerleader for the Devil Bats even though she’s not from Deimon High School (and the captain for the otherwise all-American cheerleading team). Now, the club has a second female member in the group. Fitting to her fiery personality and dislike of being by her surname, Suzuna loudly cheers for the Devil Bats, no matter what the situation as long as it’s a competition, and gives many of them nicknames, even Hiruma.
Suzuna is built like that of a young girl, and is often teased mercilessly by others because of that. One thing to note is that she does not like to be addressed by her family name or be called Miss, (in Japanese, using the term ‘san’) however she does not mind being called Suzuna-ojōchan (little miss, young lady or even madame) by Doboroku.
In the anime, Suzuna was introduced earlier in the timeline as a part-time reporter, working for the magazine American Football Monthly to discover Eyeshield 21’s identity. Her reason was to find her long-lost brother, whom she suspected was Eyeshield 21. Realizing that Eyeshield 21 was too short, however, she then leaves for America due to a tip from Hiruma. She later meets up with the Devil Bats during their Death March training. She even came up with the Devil Bats cheer:
GO! GO! LET’S GO! GO! GO! DEVIL! FLY! FLY! BATS! RUN! RUN! BATS! COME ON! COME ON! 21! EYESHIELD 21! 21! COME ON OUT, EYESHIELD 21!

Игра начинается, и все идет хорошо, пока Монт не получает мяч и не оказывается окруженным белыми рыцарями. Хирума рассчитывает их шансы (0%), если он не может заставить Сену подойти к Монте и получить мяч, или если Монта может передать мяч Сене (что невозможно из-за отсутствия у Монты навыков передачи).
Затем Сена летит мимо Хирумы, что дает Хируме идею. Он кричит ближайшим мальчикам, чтобы те собрались с Монтой. Хирума, Монта, Сена и Таки собираются в тесную кучу полузащиты, а затем вырываются из кучки в разные стороны, сбивая с толку Белых рыцарей и Таками. Eyeshield 21 показан с мячом, превосходя всех противников, кроме Шина. Эпизод заканчивается стоп-кадром, на котором Сена и Шин атакуют друг друга.
Мэр Токио видит, что его команда альма Uraharajuku Boarders не смогла попасть на турнир Канто, но затем ему звонит Мутто, который является новым членом спортивного совета города, чтобы поставить свою команду на матч с Деймоном, который слабая команда, и в случае победы они могут играть в турнире.
В первой половине Uraharajuku Boarders вели 14-0, но Deimon Devilbats доказали, что они не сдадутся, поэтому они игнорировали страх асфальта и сражались с Uraharajuku Boarders, пока они не уничтожили их со счетом 54-14.

“
That’s it. That’s what I was hoping for. It’s fun. Fighting against incredible players. American football is fun.
”
— Sena during the match against Team Germany
To hide his amazing running ability from the school’s other clubs, Hiruma disguises Sena’s identity with a green eyeshield while he plays, and has him use the series eponymous codename «Eyeshield 21». For much of the series, this is a secret known only to a very big group of people, before Sena grows more mature and confident in his abilities and eventually discards the disguise. Throughout the series Sena affirms his position in the team as being the Deimon Devil Bats unquestioned ace.
Contents
Appearance
Sena dashing in his jersey.
Sena is a rather short and somewhat frail high school student, and is overall so weak that he is frequently dragged or carried around against his will at the beginning of the series. He grows somewhat taller and more muscular as he physically grows through the course of his first year in high school and also trains his body by playing football. His hair is dark brown. However his hair also seems to be naturally spiky and sweeping up and to the left, judging by how his hair had the same shape when he was a child.
While playing football he wears a green eyeshield. Just before the game against Bando Spiders, he discarded his green eyeshield and revealed his identity, this being the only time he played without an eyeshield. After the Bando game he started using the blue eyeshield previously worn by Hayato Akaba that he was given. In the anime he went back to using his green eyeshield and never used Akaba’s blue one.
Personality
Sena has been an extremely timid pushover for his entire life often been protect by Mamori Anezaki and often forced to act as errand boy to avoid getting hurt by Bullies. This begins to change as he matures through the series, largely due to his experiences playing American football. While Sena remains fearful of injury and is easily intimidated for the duration of the series, he becomes more courageous and willing to place himself in danger, either for the sake of helping his team win or to protect others.
Sena is sometimes considered to be chivalrous by his friends because he most often ends up protecting women and children. Sena quickly takes a liking to American football after he begins playing it, and is particularly thrilled whenever he is able to compete against other strong players. When he is not playing football, he is usually shy, modest, and reserved, even when he has accomplished amazing feats and become famous. Sena rarely acts confidently and never boasts about his abilities, and whenever he attempts to make a bold statement, he tends to trail off at the end as his own self-doubt and fear cause his countenance to fall apart.
Sena does not usually grow angry, only doing so when people insult the hopes and dreams of others or begin to give up on their own dreams such as Agon Kongo insult Yoichi Hiruma and Ryokan Kurita dreams of going to the Christmas Bowl. Sena’s doubtful outlook usually contrasts with those of his more confident and reckless friends and teammates, such as Monta and Suzuna Taki. Despite this negativity, which can be a bit annoying sometimes, Sena always becomes determined in the crucial moment of a match when he must surpass an opponent with superior abilities and could be said to act appropriately when it matters most.

Contents
Spring Tournament Arc
Deimon is the main team of the story and therefore is the main focus since the first chapter. Deimon Private Senior High School is the school attended by Mamori Anezaki, and then Sena Kobayakawa the next year. Yoichi Hiruma, trying his best to rope students into the American football club. Yoichi uses his classic strategy: use his phone to get entering first years to try and call their parents about their success in getting in, confiscating the phone, and then using his blackmail network to constantly bombard the first year with advertisements for the American football club.
As it soon turns out, Sena’s bullies, Kazuki Jumonji, Koji Kuroki and Shozo Togano also got into the school. They call Sena down to get something from the store for them but it is apparently out, warranting them to beat him up in a small «shack.» They throw Sena inside but Ryokan Kurita enters, incorrectly assuming they all want to join the American football club. He tries to show the trio how the sport is played but throwing them out of the building hurts them, and chases them off. Sena joins Ryokan for some tea, and this is where he first formally encounters the sport. Sena is at first resistant to the prospect of joining the team until he sees the chance to join as a manager, and avoid being hurt but still be a part of the team and hopefully be able to make something of himself in the position.
Sena encounters Kazuki, Koji and Shozo again after leaving, where they reveal their plan to use Kazuki’s newly gained scar to get Ryokan in trouble with the police

Players
Yoichi Hiruma (#1)
The twisted quarterback and captain of the Devil Bats, who is deeper than his demonic face may appear. He even carries multiple amounts of guns and a homicidal dog named Cerberus. He is cold and calculating on the field, never falling for tricks or mind games that his enemies may attempt. Though he acts cruel and a little crazy, he really does care about his teammates and friends. He is clever at calculating, always coming up with a maverick plan to pull the team out of dire straits. He is also very brilliant, and is the first member of the «Deimon’s Smart Trio». Along with Ryokan and Musashi, he is one of the founders of the Devil Bats. His skill as a quarterback is highly recognized, even by Shin, including passes with incredibly high RPMs as well as executing extremely convincing play-action fakes. Because he has worked with a poor offensive line in his earlier days on the team, he is very good at dodging and feinting incoming tacklers. His specialty off the field is a combination of blackmail and mind games along with a superior intellect which has effectively allowed him to take control of all of Deimon High, including the faculty.
Gen «Musashi» Takekura (#11)
The placekicker for the Devil Bats and one of the original three members of the team, along with Yoichi and Ryokan. He is often mistaken for an older person, since he initially has a bit of stubble and has a buzz-cut. When he finally joins the team, he grows out his hair and shaves. He leaves the team during the spring season of his freshman year, due to the fact that his father had become seriously ill. As a result, he was forced to drop out of school and take over as the construction foreman of Deimon High. Though he desperately wanted to get back into playing, he refused to rejoin the Devil Bats. However, after meeting with Sena and Monta and seeing how determined they are to get him back on the team, he agrees, but only if they become a strong team. In the manga, he makes his comeback during the game against Seibu, when his father hit him for abandoning his team. In the anime, he does not rejoin the team until the game with the Bando Spiders. He has a one-sided rivalry with the kicker of the Spiders, Kotaro Sasaki, a fellow kicker.
Manabu Yukimitsu (#16)
Manabu is the bench player of the Deimon Devil Bats. He makes his first appearance after watching the Zokugaku vs Deimon exhibition match. He has a big forehead with a prominent widow’s peak, which appears consistent with the first signs of male pattern baldness. He initially combs his hair back, emphasizing this even more. His mother wants him to be a studious person and makes him study from day till night in addition to going to cram school (even his name means «study»). Manabu has missed many festivals and games throughout his childhood and youth and regrets it terribly. After watching the match between the Zokugaku Chameleons and the Deimon Devil Bats, he decides to join the Japanese Football club to fulfill his dreams; to be a winner and an active part of the game, rather than studying all day, restricted by his overbearing mother. He wanted to have sweet memories of his high school that didn’t have anything to do with studying, even if he just played once.
Sena Kobayakawa (#21)
The main character of Eyeshield 21. Initially a bullied gofer, his speed was discovered by Yoichi as he was literally forced into joining the football team at Deimon. However, he soon grows to love the game he plays as he masters both the Speed of Light Pace and further techniques as he gains the confidence to become a successful player. At different times throughout the anime and the manga, he will often, through emotions, tap into the Speed of Light Pace, but the problem with this is, every time he does that, he will often overextend himself, causing himself to faint. As time went on, he got to the point where he can run the Speed of Light Pace at will. Sena became the new captain of the Deimon Devil Bats in his 2nd year at Deimon Private Senior High School.
There have been several allusions to Yoichi being similar to a demon, if not Satan. His dog’s name, his fondness for heat, his constantly present fangs, a general theme of Hell in his training methods, and his love of violence, explosives, and firearms (which he’ll use at a moment’s notice). Because he gets picked off so little he could be comparable to Damon Huard of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Tetsuo Ishimaru (#30)
Ishimaru is the Devil Bats’ second Tetsuo was recruited from the track team by Sena who took over half of his paper route for him. He played in the Koigahama Cupids vs. Deimon Devil Bats match, but was injured due to Sena being unable to discern between the types of cleats. Tetsuo continued to play for the Devil Bats, even though no one notices his presence in the team. However, his obscurity plays to his advantage when playing since no one notices when he is handed the ball. Many teams curse to themselves in front of him after the play, usually saying that, «he has no presence,» or that, «We didn’t notice him.» He’s the track and field captain, which is why Yoichi usually refers to him as «Track Star.»
Natsuhiko Taki (#37)
A man with an odd and rather foolish attitude, and is apparently quite oblivious to the silliness of his actions. He was first introduced in the series when Sena met him in the San Antonio stadium (Natsuhiko was trying out for the team there). He has a habit of opening his jacket to bare his pecs, making weird poses like rising up his leg 180 degrees and is often portrayed as a ladies-man. His dream is to become a pro football star, even though he didn’t know the rules, nor the positions, stating that he was an all-around super player. He couldn’t play American Football in Japan; he wasn’t qualified, so he went to America to apply for a position in the San Antonio Team by taking all the savings in his house to fly to America. He failed; however, the coach did praise him on his potential and asked him to try out again after gaining some experience in high school football. Sena passed the pro-tryouts as Eyeshield 21, (though he and the Taki siblings left before his name was announced). Sena, feeling sorry for him, sensed that Natsuhiko had potential and that his talent shouldn’t be wasted, asked him to join the Devil Bats back in Japan as a Tight End. He manages to qualify as a Devil Bats team member after undergoing the rest of the Death March.
The Ha-Ha Brothers
Kazuki Jumonji (#51)
(十文字 一輝 Jūmonji Kazuki) Kazuki is the apparent leader of the group. In some of the episodes including the NASA Aliens game and the Death March, we see him as a leader who urges the other two to follow. He sports an X-shaped scar on his right cheek, which was originally supposed to be used to get Ryokan arrested. He is also the only one of the three to figure out that Sena was actually Eyeshield 21. He seems to be the most thoughtful (in a sort of positive way). He always seems to keep the three-some (includes him) together, and is considered the «eldest brother» of the three. He gets fired up a lot. He is also the only one so far of the three to score a touchdown, and probably the only one in Deimon Devilbats who has scored touchdowns from defense aside from Sena.
Koji Kuroki (#52)
(黒木 浩二 Kuroki Kōji) Koji sports dark hair of medium-length with noticeably longer eyelashes than the other two. He seems to be the most violent, and his usual weapon is his metal bat. He suggests that his specialty is to «Strike only once from behind,» and he has claimed himself to be a coward more than once. When playing defense, Koji can sometimes play Linebacker. The other two stick to Defensive Line. He seems to be a prodigy at games, whether it be tossing hoops or an arcade game. (In the first book end-of-the-book character introduction, he is shown to be firing a Kikoha as he yells «HUH-DOE-KEN. «) In the arcade when Deimon does their final prep work for facing Seibu the first time, Kuroki is shown to be furiously button-mashing, and a player comments that he is unexpectedly good at video games. Out of the three, Koji is the most hot-headed, and willing to fall back on his streetfighting skills when his lineman skills fail him. Later, as he and the others become more distinguished as individuals, Yoichi gives him his own nickname, ‘fish mouth’.
Shozo Togano (#53)
(戸叶 庄三 Toganō Shōzō) Shozo has long spiky blonde hair, and constantly wears orange-tinted sunglasses. He can usually be seen reading manga. He seems to be the quietest of the three. Likes Jump, but puts it aside for a while when going to the United States, saying «Sigh, I guess American comics are alright.» Compared to the other two, Shozo is fairly laid-back, preferring to read his manga, often just going along with what Kazuki and Koji want.
Futoshi Omosadake (#54)
Futoshi is a chubby person who keeps his eyes shut all the time; he’s very lazy, to the point where even opening his own eyes feels tiring. The only thing that isn’t too troublesome for him is eating. In the manga, he was dragged onto the field by Yoichi in the match against Amino Cyborgs as a support player, though he claims he can only play for 30 minutes max. He’s also a part of the Sumo Club. Futoshi is also seen in episode 56 of the anime and chapter 114 of the manga helping the Ha-Ha Brothers with line practice for the match against the Kyoshin Poseidon and is then seen throughout the episode. Recently, he has assisted Ryokan on the defensive line in the game against the Ojo White Knights, using a tactic similar to the Taiyo Sphinx to hold back the defensive line against players like Makoto Otawara.
Daikichi Komusubi (#55)
Daikichi is one of the linemen of the Deimon Devil Bats. His given name of Daikichi means ‘Good Fortune.’ His father named him after he had gotten a promotion after his son’s birth. Though Daikichi is not very fast nor tall, he makes up for it with his indomitable will and power. He decided to join the Devil Bats after seeing the Zokugaku exhibition match. Daikichi was highly impressed by Ryokan’s amazing strength and build, and decided that he wanted to become Ryokan’s «apprentice». He was able to join the team after surviving the Hell Tower qualifying test, beating out the Ha-Ha Brothers. Daikichi has taken to bunking at Ryokan’s house, and joining Ryokan in waking up as early as 2AM to go training. He does not talk much and apparently speaks (and writes!) only in the language of strong men, that only «truly strong men» can understand, which consists mostly of strange grunts and one-word sentences. It is still confusing as to how people like Daikichi’s father, Ryokan, Deimon’s gym teacher, Kengo Mizumachi, Rikiya Gao, and some of the members of the NASA Aliens team, can comprehend what he is saying. (It should be noted that Mamori seems to be able to understand him as well.)
Ryokan Kurita (#77)
The largest and strongest player of the Deimon Devil Bats, Ryokan Ryokan is a kind-hearted individual, and the only thing bigger than his body is his heart. He becomes Sena’s second friend after entering Deimon High School. He is somewhat dim-witted, nearly giving away Sena’s identity as Eyeshield 21, but was immediately silenced by Yoichi. When playing, Ryokan shouts out «Funurghbah!» (Here I come!) when exerting extreme amounts of effort. His biggest dream is to compete in the Christmas Bowl. As a center, his closest NFL comparison would be Nick Mangold of the New York Jets.
Other Members Of Deimon
Taro Raimon, a.k.a Monta (#80)
The primary wide receiver of the Deimon Devil Bats. Although he is short in stature, he has remarkable skill in catching. He is observant, recognizing Sena as Eyeshield 21 the first time he saw Eyeshield 21 in person during a practice. He is best known for always going into a pose after a catch while yelling «MAXI CATCH!» His nickname is Monta, which was initially a mistake by Sena, but later accepted when Yoichi tells Taro that the name «Monta» is a play on the name Joe Montana (although Yoichi later admits that was just a fib). He is Yoichi’s primary receiving target on the field, and one of Sena’s closest friends on the team. During the second game against Ojo, Raimon discovered his own special ability, the Devil Back-Fire, which his ability to predict Yoichi’s passes due to trajectory and wind interference. This gives him the ability to rush forward at his target, keeping his attention focused and prepared for any tricks, then catch passes from behind him.
Yohei Satake
Satake is a basketball player who gets blackmailed by Yoichi to become a «support» player for the football team. Satake is perverted and is not a very important character. In the manga, during junior high, he stole some underwear out of the locker room of the girls swim team, not knowing that the underwear belonged to a 50-year-old cleaning woman. He spent the following summer lamenting over that fact. He became especially excited when he saw the team manager of the Yūhi Guts in bloomers.
In the anime, Yoichi blackmails him by threatening to reveal that he used to wet his bed until he was in junior high. He hasn’t done much for the team but sticks with it longer than most of the other «support» players. This is mostly due to the fact that he gets better recognition from girls as a member of the Devil Bats, rather than as a basketball player, (as shown in the anime).
Kenta Yamaoka
Yamaoka is another basketball player who gets blackmailed by Yoichi to become a «support» player for the football team. Yamaoka has a thing for Ai Kago. He spends 98% of his allowance to buy her CDs, products, and other stalking supplies. Every morning when he wakes up, he kisses a poster of her. Like Satake, he sticks around longer than most of the other support players. He does not do much and is always trying to put the moves on Mamori. He gets excited along with Yohei when he sees the Yūhi Guts manager in her bloomers, and praised the fact that there was «still such a paradise in Japan.»
Akira «Chuubou» Nakabou
He’s a middle school student who participated in the World Youth Cup for Team Japan. He greatly admires Sena’s running, so he wants to join the Deimon Devil Bats when he goes to high school. Although he admires Sena’s running, his position is a lineman. After the World Youth Cup, he finally becomes a member of Deimon Devil Bats.
Manager
Mamori Anezaki
Mamori is Sena Kobayakawa’s overprotective and motherly childhood friend. Mamori joined the American Football club to watch over Sena and prevent any bullying by the other members. Despite her «joining the American Football club just to protect Sena» claim, she eventually proves to be an excellent manager who knows the rules inside and out and makes up strategies for the team. Mamori analyses the action from the sidelines and communicates any pertinent information to Yoichi via sign language so that the opposition does not discover the techniques.
Coach
Doburoku Sakaki
Doburoku Sakaki first appears during the Beach football match in the United States. He was a coach to Yoichi, Musashi, and Ryokan, and taught them how to play American football. He later ran off to the United States since he owed some loan sharks two million yen after gambling. After Yoichi gambles in Las Vegas, and pays off Doburoku’s debts, he becomes the Deimon Devil Bat’s coach and personal trainer. Doburoku loves drinking sake.
Cheerleader
Suzuna Taki
Mascots
Deimon Devil Bats (small)
Devilbat
Devilbat has a personality not unlike Yoichi’s. It is usually seen explaining things to the reader or answering questions, namely during Omake («Specials») or sometimes in the middle of the story to explain certain rules or mechanics within the sport. It is the official mascot of Deimon Devil Bats which can spit fire, shoot lasers from his eyes, and fly haphazardly. It also appears during many of Sena Kobayakawa’s Techniques’ sequence, inspires many names of Sena’s and other team members’ techniques. In a poll to decide which animal the fans like to keep as a pet more, Devilbat won with minor votes more than Cerberus.
Small Devilba
The small, rather cute Devilbat who admires the big Devilbat, and always looks up to him. He is initially seen in a » commercial» prior to the Deimon/Seibu game and is basically just a smaller, cuter version of Devilbat. Devilba has a personality opposite that of Yoichi. He is more like Sena, who does (more or less) everything that Hiruma orders him to do, and in this way, Devilbat orders the small bat for many investigations.
Cerberus
Yoichi’s dog. Known for his excessive appetite, ruthlessness (most likely affected by Yoichi) and his outstanding intelligence compared with other animals. In chapter 100, Cerberus shows that he is able to defeat taller tougher looking dogs and force them to serve him. Yoichi uses him for everything: Training, disguise, and sometimes he even uses him to drag out anyone whose whereabouts he doesn’t know of. Cerberus has shown several times to be able to stand and walk on two legs. In chapter 251, it is revealed that Cerberus can bench press 120kgs (264lbs). In one Q&A column, it is claimed that Cerberus is actually just a wild dog, not belonging to Yoichi. Rather, he follows Yoichi around because he’s easy to get food from. This is questionable since he has often followed orders from Yoichi, though is regularly rewarded or tricked into the task with food in the process. Cerberus met Yoichi on the football field and then had a face-off. Cerberus charged at Yoichi and got a spiked dog collar around his neck as a result. After the face-off, Yoichi adopted Cerberus as his pet.
Pigberus, Yoichi and Cerberus
Pig-Berus
Also known as «Buta-berus.» When Komusubi ran away, Doburoku went on an epic journey to find him. Not realizing that Komusubi had stayed in Tokyo, he went far afield, without a cell phone or any way for the team to tell him that Komusubi had been found. When Doburoku finally returned, dazed and drunk, he had with him a piglet; which he thought was Komusubi.
This piglet, being too far away from home, stayed at Deimon. Cerberus would have made Pig-Berus into tonkatsu, but Pig-Berus saved himself by pointing out that he would make a much better meal when fully grown. However this also puts him into a rather direct line of fire, as the moment he’s fully grown, he will probably be consumed. Pig-Berus is now a mascot and cheerleads alongside Cerberus.
