Kita Ichiban

Kita Ichiban (喜多一番) is a character that appeared in Inazuma Eleven GO. He's the captain and a forward of Tengawara.

Appearance
He has orange hair and green eyes. He wears the Tengawara uniform and a white headband. He wears his uniform raising the collar shirt up, like Gouenji Shuuya, Genda Koujirou and Tsurugi Kyousuke.

Personality
He seemed to be a nice person, saying that he wants to have a real game against Raimon and also saying something nice about Shindou after the match ended. He has the same passion and desire to be able to play "real soccer" and also cares for soccer too. He also seems to dislike the matches fixed by the Fifth Sector, although just like most members in his team, he plays roughly.

Plot (GO)
He is the captain of Tengawara, who fought against Raimon in the Kanto Region Block A prelims of the Holy Road football tournament. Before the match, when the two teams were introducing themselves, Kita's teammates, Nishinosora, Andou, and Hayabusa were making fun of Raimon's members.

When they leave for their positions, Tengawara's captain apologizes to Shindou for his teammates' rude behavior. He says that it was a pity; he wanted a real game against Raimon, instead of following a score order.

During the game, when Shindou, Tenma, and Shinsuke rebel against Fifth Sector's orders, Ichiban asks why they were rebelling, and that there was a score order. To this, Shindou says that he doesn't want to listen to Fifth Sector, and that he wants a real win. When Tengawara starts to play roughly, Tenma protested to Kita, as to why they were playing in that manner; Tengawara had played against Raimon valiantly and fairly in the past years. Tengawara's captain simply said that the way they were playing at the moment was "their own soccer", then proceeded to continue playing that way. When the match ended, 2-1, Raimon's victory, Ichiban says something good about Shindou and how brave he was for opposing Fifth Sector. He also thanks him for making them have a fair match.

In Episode 32, Shindou mentions that Kita has called him and said that he remembered real soccer.
