Description
Charley Horse is a recurring character in the anime Inazuma Eleven GO. He is a second-year student at Raimon Middle School and is best known for serving as the energetic live commentator for the school's soccer club matches. In the original Japanese version, his name is Ayumu Kakuma. He is the son of Chester Horse Senior, a famous soccer commentator, and the younger brother of Chester Horse Junior.
Charley has a distinctive appearance that makes him easily recognizable. He has short, bowl-cut black hair that is shaved on the sides and is often seen wearing his Raimon school uniform. His most notable feature is a pair of dark, round sunglasses with opaque, smoky lenses that he wears at all times. When commentating, he sets up a small portable desk equipped with a microphone and a wooden sign displaying his name.
The primary driving force behind Charley’s actions is his deep admiration for his father. He trains diligently with the goal of becoming as skilled a broadcaster as Chester Horse Senior. This motivation is evident from his very first appearance, where he introduces himself to a new student and proudly declares his role as the official commentator for all of Raimon’s soccer club matches. He takes his self-appointed position with the utmost seriousness and enthusiasm.
Throughout the story of Inazuma Eleven GO, Charley's main role is to provide live commentary for key matches. He is present to narrate several important games, starting with Raimon's early match against the Black Knights. He later travels to the gifted students' academy to call a friendly match and continues to provide play-by-play coverage throughout the Kantō region preliminaries of the Holy Road tournament. Beyond the main series, he also appears in the special match Inazuma Eleven Chō Jigen Dorīmu Matchi, where he has the honor of commentating alongside his father.
Charley's key relationships are centered on his family. His relationship with his father, Chester Horse Senior, is the core of his personal story and represents the standard he aspires to reach. Official information from Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino confirms that Charley is the younger brother of Chester Horse Junior, adding another layer to his family legacy within the broadcasting world. While he interacts with the players of Raimon, his role is primarily as an observer and narrator of their journey rather than a close friend or teammate.
While Charley Horse does not fight on the field as a soccer player in the main story of the anime, he exists as a recruitable player in the Inazuma Eleven GO video games. In the games, he is a male middle school student who is in the eighth grade. He plays as a defender with a Mountain element. While his physical stats are fairly balanced, he has a notably high intelligence stat. As a player, Charley can learn several special techniques, including the defensive moves L'Œil du Voleur and Tir de Défense Canon, the attacking move Confusion, and a shooting technique named Batte Toute-Puissante.
