Matsukaze Tenma (松風天馬) is the new protagonist of Inazuma Eleven GO, playing as a midfielder for Raimon.

Appearance

Personality
He is shown to be a nice and caring person, usually happy, willingly to help the ones in need and wanting to protect his teammates.

His love for soccer started when, ten years prior to the series, Gouenji saved his life.

Prior to GO
Ten years before the start of Inazuma Eleven GO, Tenma was living in Okinawa with his family and, one day, saw a young dog in danger of dying due to being trapped in some wood boards. He hurried to help it but tripped while running away, risking himself because of the boards nearly crashing on him. In that moment, Gouenji Shuuya saw him and using his soccer ball, saved him.

Tenma ended up keeping the soccer ball, which had the Raimon symbol drawn on it, and the dog, which he named Sasuke, and now lives with him.

Inazuma Eleven GO
Because of what happened when he was a kid, Tenma grew up to love soccer and practiced hard alone (especially in dribbling) hoping to be able to join the soccer team of Raimon not because of the school's soccer reputation. Tenma currently lives by himself, renting a room in Aki's manor.

He joined Raimon Gakuen because of the symbol drawn on the soccer ball that saved him, and wanting to join the soccer club even though he seemed to not know how popular it was, being surprised at the size of the new club room.

During his first day at the new school, he met Tsurugi Kyousuke, who had just beaten Raimon's second team, standing up against him and ending up first on a one-on-one match with him and then, after the arrival of, on a match with them against Kuro no Kishidan. In the end of Episode 008 (GO) he learned his first hissatsu and he revealed his desire to meet the man who saved him in the past in Holy Road tournament.
