Plot (Galaxy)
He first appeared on the trailer of Galaxy, along with the other new members of Shinsei Inazuma Japan.

In Episode 1, he was shown to be wearing Kaiou Gakuen's soccer team's uniform, which suggests that he is from Kaiou. He was then chosen by Kuroiwa Ryuusei to be a forward for Japan's nationals, Shinsei Inazuma Japan.

After being chosen, his team, Shinsei Inazuma Japan, had an exhibition match against Teikoku. At the beginning of the game, Shindou used Kami no Takuto FI and passed the ball to him, but he didn't even try to catch it. But later on in the game, he tried to steal the ball from Itsumi Kunihiko, and he was shown to be even faster than Tenma which shocked Tenma, but he didn't succeed in stealing the ball and Itsumi Kunihiko said that speed won't be enough to steal the ball from him. After that, Teikoku continuously made shots which his team was unable to stop. Shindou then used Kami no Takuto FI so Tsurugi and Tenma could score with Fire Tornado DD. The match ended with 10-1 with a victory for Teikoku.

In Episode 2, along with the other new members of Shinsei Inazuma Japan, introduced himself as a former member of the track and field club. During their practice, Tenma told him that his speed can become handy and could be the key in making his own hissatsu technique. Afterward, he thought that a person like Tenma couldn't be trusted.

As the night fell, Tenma met him training even more. They talked temporarily and he stated that he was coming up with a hissatsu techinque, but he wanted to train first.

On the day of the match between Fire Dragon, he was accused by Manabe for stealing but Tenma stopped the argument. Manabe then revealed that to the three Raimon's players that the eight of them were getting paid to play soccer, which shocked them. Matatagi also told Tenma that he joined Shinsei Inazuma Japan to afford a big house for his family. When the match started, he got the ball from Tsurugi and he ran along, didn't pass back but it was stolen easily.

In Episode 3, he asked Tenma, Tsurugi and Shindou to let him play along with the three of them because he knew their plan of only playing with three people. Then, when Tenma passed the ball to him, he smoothly passed through the members of Fire Dragon. Most of his teammates then joined but Manabe ordered them to pass the ball to the other person near them which avoided the other players to pass to Matatagi. When the second half began, he tried to pass through Fire Dragon on his own because the other members still didn't trust him. However, after hearing the encouraging words from Tenma, the others started trusting him, that's when Matatagi passed the ball to Tetsukado. When he received the ball from Manabe, he was marked by Lee Chyun-Yun but Matatagi managed to run faster than him and he was able to pass the ball to Tenma.

In Episode 4, he and Sakura were the only people to practice with Tenma, Shindou and Tsurugi. He was seen to dribble around cones to improve himself. The next day, both him and Sakura still the only one who participated on the training. Later, the two of them were seen at Steel Tower Plaza with Tenma as he told them about Endou but didn't mention his name.

In Episode 5, he and Ibuki were the only one who didn't want to take the withdrawal test for Shinsei Inazuma Japan except for the other six members. He stayed on the team because he wanted to make his two younger brothers happy.

In Episode 6, he got the ball stolen from Big Waves hissastu tactic Suck Out, when Shindou used Kami no Takuto for the third time. During half-time, he and most of the team started to distrust Sakura because of she kept getting the ball from them and even going as far as stomped on Konoha's foot to get it.

In Episode 7, he made a goal with his hissastu, Parkour Attack which tied the score to 2-2. After the match ended with Shinsei Inazuma Japan won 3-2, he along with his teammates were all happy that they won.
