Description
Ayumu Kakuma is a minor but recurring character in Inazuma Eleven GO, primarily known for his role as the commentator for Raimon's football matches. He is the son of Kakuma Oushou and the younger brother of Kakuma Keita, both of whom are also established broadcasters in the series' universe. Ayumu carries on this family tradition, and his official profile in Inazuma Eleven GO 2: Chrono Stone states that he is training to become a broadcaster like his father. This background defines his purpose and sets him apart from the players on the field.
In terms of appearance, Ayumu is a short young boy who wears the standard Raimon school uniform. He has black hair styled similarly to his older brother Keita and also wears glasses, giving him a studious and professional look that suits his role. He is almost always seen holding a microphone and a small board, which he uses to provide live commentary during matches. His personality is not explored in great depth, but his consistent presence at matches and his dedication to his broadcasting equipment suggest a serious and diligent attitude toward his craft. He appears focused on fulfilling his duties as a commentator, showing a level of professionalism that reflects his ambition to follow in his father's footsteps.
Ayumu's primary role in the story is as a narrator and observer of Raimon's progress. He first appears during the match between Raimon and the Kuro no Kishidan, and from that point on, he commentates on many of the team's important games throughout the Holy Road tournament. While he does not participate in matches as a player, his role as commentator provides context and excitement for the audience, framing the on-field action and highlighting key moments. His presence creates a connection to the earlier series, as his brother Keita famously served a similar function for the original Raimon team.
Regarding relationships, Ayumu is directly connected to his father, Kakuma Oushou, a respected broadcaster, and his older brother, Kakuma Keita. The fact that he is training to be like his father indicates a strong familial influence and a desire to live up to that legacy. He does not have significant personal relationships with the players, as his role is more observational, but he is consistently supportive of Raimon in his professional capacity.
Ayumu does not undergo significant character development in the anime, as he remains a supporting figure whose purpose is to provide commentary. However, his consistent presence establishes him as a reliable and familiar fixture within the series. In the video games, specifically Inazuma Eleven GO 2: Chrono Stone and Inazuma Eleven GO Galaxy, he can be scouted and recruited as a playable character. In this context, he is categorized as a defender with an Earth element, possessing stats that highlight his technique, speed, and blocking abilities rather than offensive power. His notable abilities as a character are not related to special football moves but rather to his broadcasting skills. He is always prepared with his microphone and board, and his dedication to commentating is his most defining trait. The games also require items related to vocal exercises and television to recruit him, further emphasizing his identity as a commentator in training.
