Masato Ohjyo holds dual roles as director and captain of Noukin High School’s kabaddi department. A veteran player with over ten years of experience, he harnesses defensive "counter" techniques to offset his lean frame, securing his reputation among Japan’s most skilled defenders. During matches, his demeanor shifts from composed strategist to a feral, relentless force, earning him comparisons to a predator in motion.

Born into a lineage steeped in kabaddi tradition—his father once represented Japan internationally—Masato began formal training in junior high. There, he forged a fierce rivalry with Ayumu Rokugen, now Souwa High’s captain, as both vowed to propel their respective teams to national acclaim. This dynamic remains a driving force in their high school careers.

A pragmatic leader, Masato champions strategic innovation and unity, orchestrating practice matches against powerhouses like Souwa to test his team’s limits. He organizes collaborative training camps with elite schools, inviting ex-national team coaches to sharpen defensive systems. His mentorship shapes rising talents like Sakura Manabu, who aspires to eclipse his technical prowess while upholding his legacy.

Though fiercely competitive, Masato tempers passion with discipline. In high-stakes moments, he cedes authority to vice-captain Kei Iura, prioritizing team stability over personal ambition. This calculated trust underscores his belief in collective triumph above individual glory.

Distinctive for his black hair, violet eyes, and jersey emblazoned with the number 1, Masato blends analytical rigor with explosive, martial arts-inspired agility. Initially driven by personal mastery, his focus now centers on cultivating successors, ensuring Noukin’s kabaddi legacy thrives long after his departure.
