Personality

Ichinose Kazuya is described by Aki Kino as having a personality similar to Endou Mamoru, being kind-hearted, optimistic, and straightforward. He is known for his friendly and easygoing nature, making him well-liked among his teammates. However, he occasionally misuses American phrases, unintentionally twisting their meanings, often prompting Aki to correct him.

By Season 3, Ichinose adopts a more serious demeanor during matches, reflecting his growth as a player. His dedication and tactical awareness make him a crucial member of Unicorn, the United States national team, where he plays a vital role in their strategies.

In Inazuma Eleven GO, there are hints of a possible romantic connection between Ichinose, Domon, and Aki. This speculation arises when Matsukaze Tenma asks Aki whether she has received any calls from America, suggesting an ongoing connection between them.

Background

Ichinose was originally from Japan but moved to America at a young age. He grew up playing soccer with Domon Asuka and Aki Kino, forming a close bond with them. However, after a tragic accident left him seriously injured, he was forced to step away from soccer for a time.

Despite this setback, Ichinose refused to give up on his dreams. With intense rehabilitation and training, he regained his strength and skill, allowing him to return to the field. He eventually joined Raimon in Japan, reuniting with Domon and becoming a crucial player in their journey.

His skills later earned him a place in Unicorn, America’s national team, where he played alongside strong international players. His journey from overcoming tragedy to playing on the world stage showcases his unbreakable spirit and passion for the game.
