Masahiro Gotōda coaches the Urawa Hosei High School girls' soccer team. He sports short gray hair with bangs hanging on the left side, brown eyes, and consistently wears a dark blue trench coat.

Gotōda exhibits a flirtatious demeanor, especially directed at Warabi Seinan's coach, Naoko Nōmi. Upon meeting her, he openly compliments her beauty and invites her to dinner. However, he quickly retreats if interrupted or scolded by his students, such as Yū Tenma. Professionally, Gotōda demands high standards, exemplified when he reprimanded player Chika Kirishima after a loss to Kunogi Gakuen, emphasizing accountability and performance. He recognizes Kirishima's vital skills, explicitly valuing her importance to Urawa Hosei's success over the next two years.

His coaching philosophy centers on tactical discipline, notably implementing a catenaccio strategy that hinges on Kirishima's midfield role. During matches, like the one against Warabi Seinan, he observes intently from the sidelines.

His surname Gotōda combines "rear/remainder" (後), "wisteria" (藤), and "field/rice paddy" (田). His given name Masahiro means "right/proper" (正) and "vast/wide" (弘).
