Yuzo Morisaki, alias Alan Crocket in European media, is a Japanese goalkeeper recurring as a steadfast supporting figure through interconnected narratives. First emerging in elementary school to replace the injury-prone Genzo Wakabayashi, he anchors Nankatsu’s teams in middle and high school after Wakabayashi’s departure to Germany. Though perpetually third-choice for Japan’s national squad behind Wakabayashi and Ken Wakashimazu, he accepts limited playtime with unwavering diligence, prioritizing team stability over personal acclaim.
Beginning at Shutetsu Elementary before transferring to Nankatsu SC, Morisaki competes in regional and national tournaments, logging a 69.23% middle school win rate and a stark 100% high school loss rate. Despite fluctuating outcomes, his consistency and quiet work ethic solidify his value as a dependable squad member.
Professionally, he joins Shimizu S-Pulse in the "Road to 2002" arc while representing Japan across U-15, U-19, and U-23 levels. His international record shifts between campaigns: a 75% win rate in U-23 qualifiers contrasts with a flawless 100% during the "Rising Sun" tournaments. Physically, he grows from 158 cm and 45 kg in elementary school to 175 cm and 65 kg by adolescence.
Morisaki’s arc emphasizes resilience over transformation, filling critical gaps when star goalkeepers falter. His narrative presence hinges on unglamorous reliability—a loyal, low-profile figure content to bolster teams from the shadows without chasing glory.
