Personality

Otoya has a laidback and relaxed personality, rarely being shown as pressured or under stress even during a match. He has no problem taunting his opponents and appeared to be entertained when Rin and Shidou began to fight after their match.

He also is very confident in his abilities, telling his team to play defense during his Third Selection match and not to talk back. Despite this, he does acknowledge when he is impressed by a teammate or an opponent, as seen when he was hyped up by Chigiri's speed.

Otoya has lived his life by "going with the flow", and his fundamental approach was not to worry. When anything unpleasant happened to him, he would override it with fun things and forget it. This personality trait is what made him so compatible with Tabito Karasu as a partner.

Abilities

Archetypes

• Forwards: Also known as strikers, have the main objective of scoring goals. They are often the players who get the most attention since their role is designed to be in a scoring position. They also take part in penalty kicks and corner kicks when the opposing team kicks the ball out of bounds. They are normally the players in charge of starting off the game at the start and halftime.

• Shadow Striker: Shadow strikers operate as one of the team's main goal scoring threats. Usually coupled with another forward, they aggressively push up into goal-scoring positions as the ball moves into the final third and look to press opposing defenders when out of possession.
  • Otoya's style of play revolves around identifying and occupying the blind spots on a pitch, created by the positioning of the ball and other players. Combined with his speed, this allows for Otoya to move around on the pitch uncontested, appearing at an optimal spot at a convenient time of the game, allowing for him to receive a pass and score a goal.

Skills

• High Speed Infiltration: Otoya is quick on his feet, reacting quickly to opposing players and using his speed to intercept them. Otoya's speed is a curved line type for weaving through narrow spaces using agile, delicate footwork. This also involves him shifting his center of gravity when he runs, allowing him to curve between player while at top speed.

• Off-the-Ball Movements: A term used to describe the moments where players are not in possession of the ball. Otoyas freedom comes thanks to strong players on the pitch drawing the attention towards themselves. This creates blind-spots on the pitch that Otoya can extort to allow him to run with little pressure. Even in the instance where field blind spots aren't available to him, Otoya is able to use the natural blind spots of players to create a course for him to travel through.
  • Ninja Stealth Walk: Through this combination of speed and off-the-ball, Otoya is able to quickly weave between opposing players with unpredictable footwork without them realizing before it's too late to react.
    • Jumping Volley: After losing an opponent, Otoya jumps into the air and kicks the ball with his right foot, sending the ball straight into the net with more power.
