Movie
Description
Kazemaru Ichirouta begins as a track and field athlete at Raimon Junior High. Facing a critical match shortage against Teikoku Gakuen, Endou Mamoru recruits him for the soccer team. Witnessing Endou's intense solo training and dedication convinces Kazemaru to join. He contributes his exceptional speed and agility to the squad.

His appearance features aquamarine hair tied in a ponytail with an orange hair tie, bangs covering his left eye. Casual wear includes a white long-sleeved shirt under a yellow sleeveless vest and brown pants. Under the Aliea Stone's influence with the Dark Emperors, his hair fades and floats slightly, while his eyes develop purple sclera and cat-like slit pupils. A black hooded cloak covers their uniform, the Aliea Stone visible as a necklace. In *Inazuma Eleven GO*, his hairstyle shifts to a loose half-moon ponytail, worn with a mustard-orange jacket and gray trousers. *Inazuma Eleven Ares no Tenbin* and *Orion no Kokuin* retain similar elements with slight hair variations.

Competitive yet friendly, Kazemaru enjoys challenging strong opponents. He demonstrates kindness and team support but faces indecision under pressure. Leadership emerges when he captains Inazuma Japan during Endou's absence. Self-doubt surfaces against overwhelming teams like Aliea Academy, leading him to temporarily leave Raimon. Seeking strength through the Aliea Stone, he joins the Dark Emperors. This departure impacts teammates, prompting Kurimatsu Teppei's exit and Endou's lost motivation. Freed from the stone's control, he returns to Raimon. Later, in *Orion no Kokuin*, he displays greater emotional resilience, often calming high-stress situations.

His soccer journey starts in Season 1 as Raimon's key defender. He collaborates with Gouenji Shuuya to create the "Honō no Kazamidori" (Firebird Dive) technique. Choosing between soccer and track and field, he fully commits after seeing his team's passion mid-match. Overwhelmed by Aliea Academy's superiority in Season 2, he leaves for the Dark Emperors, becoming their captain. A fierce match where Endou rekindles his soccer passion frees him from the stone. In Season 3, he represents Inazuma Japan at the Football Frontier International, developing techniques like "Banana Shoot" and "Fuujin no Mai" (Wind God's Dance). He temporarily captains against The Empire when Endou and others are absent. The movie *Saikyō Gundan Ogre Shūrai* features him in Raimon's lineup against the Ogre team, using defensive skills against their advanced techniques.

As an adult in *Inazuma Eleven GO*, Kazemaru spectates Raimon's matches and offers training support, aiding younger players in *The Ultimate Bonds Gryphon*. In *Ares no Tenbin* and *Orion no Kokuin*, he first serves on Teikoku Gakuen's reinforcement committee under Kageyama Reiji, implementing rigorous methods to strengthen Japanese soccer. He later joins Inazuma Japan as a defender, showcasing leadership by maintaining team cohesion during turbulent matches, such as when Asuto plays for an opponent. His technique "Spinning Fence" features prominently here.

Kazemaru's techniques emphasize speed and agility. Early moves include the dribbling technique "Shippū Dash" (Rapid Dash) using zigzag motions and "Honō no Kazamidori" with Gouenji. Under the Aliea Stone, he uses "Bunshin Defense" (Clone Defense) and "Triple Boost" alongside Kurimatsu and Shishido. Later techniques involve wind manipulation: "Fuujin no Mai," "Hurricane" with Fubuki Shirou, and "Tatsumaki Otoshi" (Tornado Drop) with Kabeyama Heigorou. His signature defensive hissatsu in *Orion no Kokuin* is "Spinning Fence."
