After Raimon fought The Genesis, he said that he wasn't strong enough and left. Kazemaru fought the teams from Aliea Academy at the start of season 2, but as the story progressed, he began to lose confidence in himself, seeing that he could not keep up with the levels of Aliea Academy, so he could not steal the ball and pass to his teammates. After that, he won the Football Frontier tournament along with the Raimon team. However, after watching him play so passionately, Miyasaka allowed him to stay with the soccer team. This was brought on by Miyasaka, who kept pushing him to go back to the athletics club. Just before the match against Sengoku Igajima (the first match in the Football Frontier tournament), he had to decide whether to stay on the Raimon team or to go back to the athletics club. During the first match against Teikoku he became horrified by the type of football which Teikoku plays.ĭuring the match against Inazuma Eleven, he and Gouenji bringed a new hissatsu Honoo no Kazamidori. At first, he said he would consider the offer, but after seeing Endou practice by himself intensely, he decided to join the team. Originally a member of the Raimon track club, Kazemaru was asked by Endou to join Raimon's soccer club for their upcoming match against Teikoku as they were short on players. Although he was injured in the match against Teikoku, he kept cheering for the rest of his teammates. In the manga, he seemed to care for his team, and he's the one who taught Kabeyama about defensive tactics. When they won against Little Gigant, he jumped up and hugged Endou. He is shown to be very kind and caring to his teammates, but can be slow thinking as seen in episode 005. He seems to be one of the most expressive characters in the anime. He's a good leader, which is most prominently witnessed during season 3 when he takes over as captain while Endou, Kidou, Sakuma, and Fudou are helping Orpheus. He sometimes has conflicted feelings within himself.
He is also shown to have some confidence issues under high pressure, and is afraid of not being able to keep up with the rest of his teammates.
Kazemaru is shown to have a competitive character yet a nice and friendly personality, as he likes to play against strong players. He wears a light brown jacket, gray trousers and dark brown shoes. The right-side bangs (the ones near the uncovered eye) are now straight. His new hairstyle has a lot of similarities with Edgar Valtinas. In Inazuma Eleven GO, he has gotten taller and his hair is worn down but has a slight bit of hair tied at the back (a half-moon ponytail). When he is wearing casual clothes, he usually wears a white long-sleeved shirt with a yellow sleeveless jacket and brown pants. Kazemaru has aquamarine hair tied into a ponytail, with bangs that cover his left eye.
