Favourite food: Salad Favorite color: Red Favorite animal: Monkey (because it is smart) Respected person: Nobel prize winner. The most important thing in life: Calmness The most important thing in American Football: Kick Game Akaba is the tight end for the Spiders and the team's captain. He is obsessed with music and often plays his electric guitar and uses musical metaphors to state his opinions. While playing Akaba wears a blue eyeshield and he introduces himself to Sena as "the real Eyeshield 21." He was the MVP in the Fall Tournament during the match against Oujou's Golden Generation. He was offered a place on the Teikoku team, and accepted because of the team's strength and his father transferring to Kansai. After a confrontation with teammate Kotaro, Akaba changed his mind and decided to return to Bando. Because of the school's policy, Akaba was forced to sit out for six months from the beginning of the school year so he could not play with the team until the match against the Devil Bats. Instead, Akaba served as an adviser and instructor to his teammates, teaching them the blocking techniques he created through painstaking research. After the game against Deimon, Akaba gives his blue eyeshield to Sena (in the anime he returns Sena's original green eyeshield to him) and states that Sena deserves to be called "Eyeshield 21."

40-yard-dash: 5.4 seconds Bench-press: 50 kg Position: Quarterback Jersey Number: 8 3rd Year Student (Grade 12) Harao is the quarterback of the Taiyou Sphinx. He bosses everyone around and puts the blame on them until Banba sets him straight. For some reason, he's popular with the ladies and has his own harem. He acts like a pharaoh; however, compared to Hiruma, his skills as a quarterback are substantially less. His over-dependence on the Pyramid Line has made him slower and less able to avoid sacks. If he can't find a receiver, then he will just stand in place, rather than try to run the ball himself. He also tends to hold the ball too high when passing, which can lead to fumbles when he's tackled. Though he appears to be an arrogant snob, Harao is actually quite sensitive about his skills as a quarterback. He knows that others consider him as a second-rate player; even his own team members think so. Like Sakaruba was, Harao is seen as the ace of the team by his fans, though his skills do not match that of his image. He admits to Banba that since the game against Deimon he has been trying to improve himself, but he still has doubts. Especially since every Kantou Tournament the Sphinx participate, but never win due to the other teams being like monsters. Like Banba, this will be his third and last Kantou Tournament. Banba assured him that the new Tutankhamen's Mask formation would protect him, so all he had to do was throw the ball. (Source: Wikipedia)
