Appearance[]
Kabeyama has tanned skin with a large and round build except for his legs which are a lot thinner past his knees, both as teenager and adult. He has dark green hair styled in a smooth afro with sideburns that curl inwards. He has small round black eyes, large lips and a rounded triangular nose which is a darker color than the rest of his skin. Kabeyama doesn't have a forehead as his eyes and hair both meet at the top of his face. Despite his young age, Kabeyama has a green square-shaped goatee.
His casual outfit seen in episode 6 consists of an orange shirt with purple sleeves, khaki shorts, and white socks.
In GO, he maintains his build from the original series, but has just grown more. His hair grew larger, wrapping around his entire head, minus his face and his ears which stick out of his hair. This growth in hair now makes his entire head the shape of a smooth oval. His goatee now connects to his bottom lip and maintains a rectangular shape. He wears a blue shirt with a khaki jacket and trousers, with a pair of gray sneakers.
In the alternative timeline, his casual outfit consists of a yellowish-orange T-shirt with a mountain imprint on it, grayish-brown shorts, white socks, and blue sneakers.
Personality[]
Despite his size, he is a really bashful, shy and timid person. In the beginning episodes, he would disappear before a match with the excuse of going to the bathroom or go and hide somewhere. Before, he was scared of heights, but his determination prevailed and he overcame his fear. Most of the time, Endou has to help him to overcome his fears. He respects Endou as a captain and a best friend. In most episodes, Kabeyama is shown to be someone who gives up easily. He also does not adapt to differences easily.
He was one of Raimon's first members. In the early episodes, before a match, he would usually ask if he could go to the bathroom as an excuse to hide the fact that he was nervous. Whenever Raimon took a break in the club room, he was usually seen eating some snacks like potato chips. Before the match against Teikoku Gakuen, he is seen hiding in a locker and had a hard time getting out of it. During the match against Sengoku Igajima, Kabeyama shows his first block hissatsu The Wall.
Season 2[]
With the other members of Raimon, he fought against Aliea Gakuen. Since the start of this arc, he never left the team despite all the difficulties that they faced. After they meet with Kogure, Kabeyama often becomes the victim for his pranks.
Season 3[]
He was chosen to be one of the members of Inazuma Japan. After FFI, he didn't graduate because he was still a second year. He congratulated Endou while crying like the others, thinking that they were going to be separated. He alongside Endou, Kurimatsu and Aki took part in a school play. He was chosen for the graduation match in the original Raimon team and he thanked Endou for holding the graduation match at the end of episode 127.
Kabeyama was with the rest of Raimon when they came back from winning the Football Frontier. When Raimon were talking about playing at world level, he said he might've needed to go to the toilet again. During the match between Raimon and Barcelona Orb, Kabeyama uses The Wall to stop Luther Fandam, however, he kicks the ball over him which lead to Clario Orvan scoring the second goal for Barcelona Orb. Kabeyama was exhausted after the match and sad.
Kabeyama first appeared in episode 3 with his team, Minodouzan. Unfortunately, he was injured so he couldn't play in the match against Inakuni Raimon. However, he said he taught the members of Minodouzan all he knew. During the match, he was seen commenting on the plays and was surprised when Minodouzan's coach gave orders near the end of the match, about moving forward. He was really impressed with Iwato's The Wall and congratulated him after the match.
He briefly appeared in episode 3, watching the match between Inazuma Japan and Red Bison with Kurimatsu. He was eating snacks and tried a combination of onigiri and vinegar, which he found tasty, much to Kurimatsu's disgust. He later appeared in the last episode, where the reformed Raimon team was ready to have a match with Inakuni in the Football Frontier Autumn Tournament.
Kabeyama appeared in the GO movie after the Raimon Eleven (GO) was saved from joining God Eden. He accompanied the team while training; especially Ichino, Aoyama, and Sangoku.
During the match against Zero, he turned into his youth form to help Raimon with the others members of Inazuma Japan. He used The Wall to stop Kibayama and succeeded. He was later seen talking to Shinsuke in the match.

He has a habit of adding "-ssu" at the end of almost all of his sentences.
At the start of the Inazuma Eleven series, he had the habit of often asking his teammates to go to the toilet before a match.
In the Inazuma Eleven game, he quickly overcame his acrophobia and managed to learn the hissatsu technique before match with Nose. However, he was still reluctant to perform it due to him believing he did not look cool enough in front of his younger brother, Saku.
In the Inazuma Eleven anime, he could not perform Inazuma Otoshi before the match with Nose due to his acrophobia, having only managed to overcome it after seeing him teammates' efforts to win.
