Genda Koujirou

Genda Koujirou (源田 幸次郎 dub: Joseph "Joe" King) is the goalkeeper for Teikoku, Shin Teikoku and Neo Japan. He is nicknamed King of Goalkeepers (though Natsumi believes that Endou is the best goalkeeper around).

Inazuma Eleven (game)

 * "The King of Keepers. There is no angle that he cannot cover."

Appearance
He has brown hair and is tall while having a so-called tattoo on his face. He has been seen wearing Teikoku Academy Uniform and his goalkeeper uniform.

Season 1
He is first seen during the original match between Raimon and Teikoku, his first words, after easily catching a shot that looked like it was going in, were "Kidou! That's all for me." He is the goalkeeper of Teikoku, and parts away from Kageyama with Kidou and the rest of the team when they realize how sinister Kageyama is. Teikoku ended up losing to Raimon in the district finals of the Football Frontier, but as they were champs for the previous year they are allowed to return for the finals. However, they are then beaten by Zeus Junior High so badly that Genda needed to spend some time in the hospital.

Season 2
In the Aliea Gakuen storyline, Genda joins Shin Teikoku, also coached by Kageyama, to get stronger and more powerful, along with Sakuma. During the match they have with the team being put together to beat Aliea Academy, Genda uses Beast Fang once, which is a forbidden technique that causes massive damage to the person who uses it. After being beaten, and being released from the brainwashing of Kageyama, he again needs some hospital time, but he is not as bad as Sakuma, who, having used a forbidden technique three times, looks like he may never be able to play soccer again.

Season 3
In the FFI, Genda joins Neo Japan, a team created to beat Inazuma Japan and take their place in the Football Frontier International. Having trained very hard, they come close to winning, but Inazuma Japan won in the end.
