Fubuki Shirou

Fubuki Shirou (吹雪 士郎) is one of the main characters in the Inazuma Eleven game and anime. He was a defender, forward, and the captain of Hakuren. He also joined Raimon in season 2, and was a forward and defender of Inazuma Japan. In GO, he is coach of Hakuren (GO) and was also temporarily an assistant of Raimon (GO).

He also has the same first name as Shawn Figurado

Background
Fubuki used to play alongside his younger twin brother, Fubuki Atsuya, in the Junior Team. The older twin would steal the ball, while the younger twin would score the goal. They were the perfect defender-forward combination.

One day, while their family was driving them home from a soccer match they won, there was an avalanche. Fubuki's life was saved because he was pushed out of the car just in time, but Atsuya and his parents died. Due to this accident Fubuki is morbidly afraid of any sound similar to an avalanche (like snow falling off trees or the roof and any loud banging sounds). Ever since then, Atsuya's personalities was reborn inside Fubuki.

Appearance
Fubuki is seen usually with a gray scarf on his right side which contains Atsuya's personality, and used to belong to Atsuya. His eye color is bluish-gray and his hair is short, gray and spiked. During the battle against Genesis, his brother's personality fades away when he takes off the gray scarf, and Shirou and Atsuya combine. He then understands what his father meant by "combining themselves in one body." In the next episodes Atsuya doesn't appear anymore. When he "becomes" Atsuya, his eyes glow orange, his hair rises up and he usually takes risks. Everywhere he goes along with Raimon, there are always girls who want to talk and hang out with Fubuki, because he is undeniably handsome and cute, he used his appearance to gain information in season 2. For example when the team traveled to Manyuuji Junior High in episode 35 and when they were in Osaka in episode 40.

In GO, his hair gets spiked up a little bit more. He now wears a blue jacket with a white hoodie and two yellow lines on the left shoulder that looks like the captains mark, and a white shirt with a green mark on his shirt, green pants and brown shoes.

Personality
Fubuki is a very timid person and is very sweet and nice to others. He used to be a defender. He can be either a defender or a striker, and is good at both. He's very shy at the start of season 2 and doesn't want to be alone, so he keeps a scarf with Atsuya's personality inside it. When Atsuya is in control, his hair lifts a bit, his eyes glow bright orange and he grins, looking quite sinister. Atsuya plays fairly aggressively. When both of them combine his hair style changes, and lifts a bit, but not as much as when Atsuya takes over. By the time FFI starts, Fubuki is braver and is willing to speak up for himself.

As Atsuya, he's a little sadistic and menacing, but becomes a powerful striker. Later, the two personalities merge together to become stronger, and become one and they learn a new shoot.

Fubuki is also shown to be good with girls as he often charms them into giving information for the benefit of the team. However, he is also shown to be uncomfortable with certain types of girls, as seen in Episode 050.

Season 2
Fubuki is first commented in Episode 031, where Hibiki send a message to coach Hitomiko, saying to her call the Hakuren's team ace striker, Fubuki Shirou, to the Raimon in order to made a better team. Later, when Haruna searches by information of him, it's revealed that Fubuki had made 10 goals in a match playing alone. He made his debut in the same episode, when Raimon first meets him, he was a complete stranger in the middle of a blizzard in Hokkaido, a few miles from the Northern Ridge. He was shivering in the cold and by seeing that, Endou let him inside the bus. In return, he saved everyone from a rampaging black bear that shook the entire bus by killing it and moving the bus with a single kick. After Raimon leaving him in the front of his house, he uses a shoot to open a path.

In Episode 32, when Raimon asks to the others Hakuren member they begin to discuss if Fubuki was iceskating, skiing, or bobsleading. When he enters in the room Araya introduces him as being Fubuki Shirou, leaving the Raimon members shocked. When Someoka asks if he is the bear killer Fubuki replies that because of the rumors everyone thinks that he is a big guy or something like this. Later, Hitomiko introduces herself and asks if Fubuki can give them some time. Down the stairs on the way until Hakuren's field he grabs Haruna, who just gets slipped and warns her to have caution, making the girl blush. Then, the snow of the roof fall, scarring Fubuki until Araya calms him.





Later, he, Hitomiko, Endou, Araya and Haruna are seen talking about Aliea Gakuen in an igloo. They progress the conversation showing to Fubuki many Hokkaido's schools whose are attacked by Gemini Storm and explains to him that they are creating the Earth strongest team. Hitomiko then ask to Fubuki if he can show his moves, wich result into a friendly match of Raimon vs. Hakuren. When the Raimon members saw that Fubuki is a defender they were shocked. Kidou says that he thought that Fubuki was a foward, but his teammates explains that Fubuki is a foward and a defender. At the very first moment of the match he uses his block hissatsu, Ice Ground, on Someoka in order to steal the ball. Later, when Someoka tries to score with Dragon Crash, Fubuki easily stop the shoot with his leg, making the former become enraged. He then lets Atsuya take control, scoring a goal with Eternal Blizzard.



He joins the Raimon Eleven in Episode 33 to defeat Aliea Academy's Gemini Storm. Before the train session he asks to Endou wich type of training will be. During the trainning he is show to be a player with high speed, being able to steal the ball from Kazemaru easily. He then pass the ball to his brother. Initially, he has a split personality, and switches to his brother's when he's on the offensive on the soccer field. He also had a time when he was badly injured due to his brother Atsuya who wanted to play all time on the field. He wanted to become a perfect Soccer player and believed that he could only do so if he "became" his brother (his father's comments right before the avalanche accident led him to believe this).

With Gouenji and the others' help, he realized that what his father meant was that he could be perfect only if he played alongside his teammates. Soon, he broke free from both his trauma and his twin brother's personality, merging himself and his brother's spirit as one thus growing stronger as well. His brother taught him a lesson that he should also work with his team mates besides Atsuya.

Season 3
Three months after the Aliea Academy arc Fubuki is invited by Coach Hibiki to a match to join Inazuma Japan. He is placed in Team-A, who's Endou team. Fubuki scored the last goal of the match (and the winning goal) using Wolf Legend. He later is chosen as one of the sixteen members of Inazuma Japan. During the match agains the Desert Lion he fall unconcious on the ground, being replaced by Toramaru. Unfortunately, his leg gets badly injured in the match against Fire Dragon and is taken off the team with Midorikawa. He eventually returns to substitute an injured Kurimatsu. After his return, he saw a letter with Hiroto from Midorikawa, telling them that he will not give up, and that he will come back soon. After that, he continues to get stronger, and scoring many goals to the team. After many difficult matches, Inazuma Japan finally make it to the finals of the FFI. When the finals is just a few days away, after seeing the Raimon soccer club and others back in Japan supporting them, he asks Kidou and Hiroto to perform a new hissatsu with him, for the match against Little Gigant, wich later scores a goal to Inazuma Japan.

After Inazuma Japan won the FFI, everyone went back to their own school. Fubuki went back to Hakuren to graduate to high school. His graduation took a week before Raimon's, so then Endou invited Fubuki and everyone else who joined Raimon in the season 2 and season 1 to have a match.
