Tachimukai Yuuki

Tachimukai Yuuki (Darren Charles in the dub) is a huge fan of Endou. He is sometimes a midfielder/goalkeeper.

Background
He was the second goalkeeper in the team of Raimon Eleven made to fight with Aliea Academy. Tachimukai originaly played as a Midfielder but became a Goalkeeper due to his admiration for Endou. He was able to master the God Hand (by watching videos of it) and the Majin The Hand (by seeing Endou doing it). He returned to his home town after the defeat of the Aliea Academy. Later, he was made a member of Inazuma Japan. He also mastered Mugen The Hand and created Maō The Hand.

Appearance
He has golden brown hair and blue eyes. His bangs are pretty much similar to Ichinose. Always seen to be wearing a goalkeeper's uniform in Season 3.

Personality
Tachimukai is potrayed as a hard working, cheerful boy. He admires Endou and follows his path of never giving up and loving soccer. However, unlike Endou, he is a shy boy and often looses his endurance. Inspite of being childish and shy, he sometimes is able to understand things better.

He is considered talented by the whole team, for he is not only able to attain Endou's God Hand and Majin The Hand, but also is able to perform Mugen The Hand (A technique by Endou's grandfather) along with Maou the hand (a technique made by himself) successfully through his slogging and determination. In their battle against Genesis, Hiroto called him the weakest of their team. Apparently, so did Gazel in their match against Diamond Dust. Kogure even called him a copycat which made Tachimukai create Maō The Hand.

He introduced himself shyly, and show the "thing" to him, which was God Hand. He and Endou became friends and on the next day, he saw what Majin the Hand looks like, trying to master it. The day when Mamoru sadly sits down at the corner, he saw how Tachimukai accomplished Majin the Hand and helped Endou stand up again.
