When Rococo was young, he was trained by Daisuke and kept on persevering unlike no other and followed Daisuke's orders.



Personality
He is a very happy-go-lucky person but at times he gets serious. Sometimes, his attitude is also quite similar to Endou Mamoru. He is like a grandson to Daisuke. But he is also shown to be a bit of a jealous person, as shown in the game, where he felt angry and jealous if Daisuke would go back to Japan to Endou, but later learnt to ease his feelings and learnt of the truth.

Season 3
His first appearance was in episode 68 when he asked his coach when will he be able to fight against 'him', to which his coach said, he will have a chance to play against him soon (at the top of the world). Then, he reappeared again with his coach because Natsumi had something to say to Endou, while telling Endou how he, with the help of Daisuke, became stronger. It was revealed that when he was young, he was bad at soccer and didn't have a never-give-up attitude. But after listening to Daisuke's words, he decided to train harder and become a goalkeeper and started training with tires.

Then his team and the people of the Cotarl area got attacked by Team Garshield. Because most of his teammates were in bad shape including him, they weren't able to fight Team Garshield. Instead, Inazuma Japan helped them, to which Inazuma Japan wins. He was glad to see that everyone was okay.

Then, after a day or so, Rococo had to face Inazuma Japan in the World Tournament. He used God Hand X and was able to block most shoot hissatsus, but Hiroto's Tenkuu Otoshi made through his technique. Then he used Tamashii The Hand which was much more powerful than God Hand X. But Tamashii the Hand was broken by Jet Stream. In the end, his team lost. He is last seen at the departure airport with Fideo and Endou, the three of them saying their goodbyes. In the second half, he had to be a forward.

Game
In the Ogre, when Endou is reunited with his grandfather, The Ogre from the future made Rococo think that Daisuke is going back with Endou to Japan. Kanon tried to stop them but result got aducted.
