Demonio Strada



Demonio Strada (デモーニオ・ストラーダ) is the captain of Team K.

Background
Demonio used to play soccer in the suburbs of Italy along with the rest of Team K. Due to the boys' shared dream of playing in the nationals, Kageyama (then known as Mr. K) sought them out and offered them a deal. Join him and they would be able to play in the nationals. He was a huge fan of Fideo, until he joined Team K in which he saw himself as superior and looked down on the rest of Orpheus.

Appearance
He is meant to be a doppelgänger of Kidou, however they are easily distinguishable as not only are the color of his goggles different, but the style of cape as well. Denomino also has differing hair and skin color, along with different eyebrows. The only actual way that they are considered similar are through their soccer playing style (Denomino is shown to have a very similar style, being the control tower of the team as well as having a Penguin shot) and the fact that they wear capes and goggles.

Personality
Denomino is actually a very nice boy, however; under the influence of Kageyama he began to yearn being the Ultimate the same way Fubuki had wanted to be perfect. Denomino is shown to have strong leadership skills along with a very upbeat personality.

Plot Overview
He appeared when Mr. K became coach of Orpheus. As the captain of Team K, they were to have a match against Orpheus to see which would be the team representing Italy. He approached Sakuma while he was searching for Kidou to give a warning. Due to their similar appearance, Sakuma mistook him as Kidou at first.

When the match started, it was revealed that Denomino was a player meant to surpass Kidou, Kageyama's previous 'masterpiece'. Denomino had a similar playing style, however he thought everything out one step further. However midway through the match his body began to act weird, and Orpheus was able to score. It was revealed that Denomino had taken the RH program as an experiment, and that his body was rejecting said program. One of the effects of this was his eyes losing their focus. After a speech from Endou and Kidou, Team K decided to just play their own soccer instead of trying to be the ultimate. They depart after the match.
