Hyuga Kojiro, nicknamed the "Fierce Tiger," stands as a pivotal force in Japanese football. His childhood was marked by hardship when he lost his father, compelling him to support his family through labor-intensive part-time jobs at fruit and seafood markets. This early toil forged his extraordinary physical strength. His dedication to football stems from a resolve to become a professional striker and alleviate his family's financial struggles. Initially perceived as cold-hearted and reckless due to his upbringing, Hyuga projected arrogance and intimidated opponents with his aggressive playing style, cementing his tiger epithet. Yet beneath this exterior, he harbored profound loyalty, fiercely protecting family, close friends like Takeshi Sawada, and later, teammates. His football career launched at Meiwa Elementary School, where he wore jersey #10. After transferring to Toho Academy, he retained #10 for the school team and adopted #9 for the Japan Junior National Team. At Toho, his rivalry with Tsubasa Ozora became legendary—Hyuga's raw power and aggression contrasting Tsubasa's technical elegance. Hyuga remains the sole rival to defeat Tsubasa in a match. Hyuga's power-centric techniques define his playstyle. He honed the Tiger Shot during Okinawa training, a strike with a straight trajectory and a charging-tiger aura. This evolved into the Neo Tiger Shot during the Junior Youth World Challenge against Italy, boasting amplified force and minimal drop-off. Collaborative moves include the Toho Twin Shot, an aerial volley with Sawada, and the Neo Drive Tiger Twin Shot, combining his upgraded shot with Tsubasa's technique. His dribbling relies on brute-force charges like the Straight Line Dribble. Post-high school, he joined Juventus in Serie A but was loaned to Serie C's AC Reggiana amid stiff competition. There, he grappled with physical imbalance from power-focused training, countering it by training with heavy metal chains to enhance balance and endurance. Reggiana's captain, Iuliano Gozza—a restaurateur who provided nutritional guidance—became his mentor. Hyuga's tenure peaked with a promotion-securing hat-trick against Shingo Aoi's FC Albese. Hyuga's persona evolved from solitary ambition to collaborative leadership. He channeled his ferocity into resilience, galvanizing the Japanese national team during Tsubasa's injuries and prioritizing team success over individual acclaim. Statistically, he excels in offense (96) and power (96), with speed and technique at 80. After Reggiana, he rejoined Juventus in a campaign merging football and anime culture. His journey continues, driven by aspirations to become the world's top striker while honoring his roots and relationships.
