Character: Kaitani Riku
Series: Eyeshield 21 (Manga)
Age: 15

Canon: In Eyeshield 21, it's football season any time, all the time. The characters live, breathe, and sleep the sport and it's no surprise how devoted they are to winning. Every team we meet has its own reasons to prove they're the best, and the Seibu Wild Gunmen are certainly no exception, bringing to the yard three (count them, three!) new rivals for our protagonists.

Kaitani Riku is the running back for the Wild Gunmen and one of these three rivals, with a running technique that makes him near unstoppable. He's damn good at what he does and knows it, which makes him come off as cocky at times when he's interacting with others. Instead, Riku can best be described as confident, in himself, in his abilities, and in the abilities of his team. His pride is a big part of who he is and he's always willing to back up the words he says with action. He's got enough wits to know his limits and, when he does get beat, can take it with stride.

Riku's also got a strong code of honor and a weak spot for people getting bullied; he's quick to tell them to stand up for themselves and, if necessary, show them how. With sharp reflexes and a level head during even the most nerve wracking matches, Riku's a cool customer both on and off the field (at least most of the time) who can talk the talk and walk the walk.

Sample Post:

Hmm? A guy thinks that just because he's got more attached body parts than other people, he has the right to boss around a guy without any arms? You're pathetic.

So, aren't you going to show me what all those extra body parts are supposed to do? I can tell they're fake you know. It's pretty obvious that they are and they're weird. Eyes on the back of your head is just a metaphor, no one's supposed to try and make it literal. Three legs won't help you run any faster either; it's your technique. You're doing it wrong. Besides that third one doesn't look very stable, you're not going to get very far using it.

No, I don't want to wait around while you make it stable. And if it's not supposed to be a leg, than what is it supposed to be?

... Looks like they left to go show someone else. Well, I'm not sure how I got here or why those guys were picking on you, but I'll give you a little advice. You let guys like that push you around all the time and it'll go from "get us that girl's bra" to "it puts the lotion on its skin" before you even realize it. Don't let yourself be bullied around by weird guys like them; just stand up to them in a fight.

Che, being armless isn't an excuse. You can work around it; I've seen it done before. Just use your feet like they're hands, see? I guess I can't really talk from experience about this, but if you practice, you should be able to figure it out yourself. Even though I can't teach about that kind of thing, I can teach you how to run faster. I bet if you combine these two things together, you'll be pretty strong. Trust me, with speed on your side, you can't lose.

You've got long legs, that'll work in your favor. If you can kick high enough, you should be able to reach anything. No, not a weak kick like that, you'll get no where with that kind of power. Who taught you how to kick like that; you swing your hips not thrust them. Whoever told you that was lying. Put all of your pride into it; turn it into something you'll be proud about. Then you'll put all your effort and drive into perfecting it.

... Yeah, I guess if that's what you'd be proud of, you could use it to get yourself some girl's panti-

DON'T USE IT FOR SOMETHING LIKE THAT!!
