Andou, Sora

He planned to quit playing after middle school so he could focus on studying in high school. However, on the day of his last match, he meets Shiki Wakamiya, a girl who was his childhood friend. Shiki was chosen as a member of Japan's women's national soccer team when she was just in middle school, and she had since been chosen to join a league in America. Shiki gives Sora some advice during his last game that gives him some motivation to continue playing soccer.
