Kazuki Sorimachi, a Japanese forward integral to Toho Academy, forms the formidable Toho Trio with Kojiro Hyuga and Takeshi Sawada. Stepping into the spotlight as Toho’s ace striker during Hyuga’s suspension, he leveraged Sawada’s precise assists to compensate for his less explosive shots compared to Hyuga’s Tiger Shot. Resembling Taro Misaki in appearance, his darker eyes, tanned complexion, and rugged intensity distinguish him, with the 2018 anime highlighting his left-footed prowess. In middle school, he propelled Toho to national finals yet grappled with securing a dominant scoring reputation. His efforts secured him a spot in the All Japan Jr. Youth team, participating in training camps and a European tour before the International Jr. Youth Tournament. Starting in the semifinal against France Jr. Youth, he contributed to Japan’s eventual championship win despite being substituted. Through high school, he clinched three consecutive national titles with Toho. During the finals against Nankatsu, his Hyuga-assisted equalizer showcased his clutch performance. While frequently a substitute for Hyuga or Shun Nitta in national squads, he maintained a scoring rate of roughly one goal per two games across over 10 caps. Post-graduation, he turned professional with Vissel Kobe and represented Japan’s U-23 team in Olympic qualifiers and tournaments, including the World Youth as a substitute. His roles in the Golden-23 and Rising Sun arcs remain undefined in specific achievements. His technical arsenal—Speed Shot, Jumping Volley, and Shoulder Charge—prioritizes agility and tactical awareness. In *Rise of New Champions*, his jersey #19 for Japan Junior features the Striker’s Duty skill, amplifying shot power when leading offensively. Localized internationally as Eddie Bright, John Michael, or Arthur, he stands 168 cm (56 kg) in middle school, growing to 175 cm (59 kg) in high school. Born July 26 with blood type A, his career embodies resilience, balancing pivotal contributions with supportive roles amid high-profile teammates, etching a legacy of adaptability and quiet reliability in Japanese soccer.
