Pongsaklek Yunu, a Thai exchange student at Doshisha University, balances academics with his role as a forward reserve on the rugby team. His muscular frame, tan complexion, and striking short blue hair paired with piercing blue eyes command attention. As a second-year student, he occupies the number 16 jersey, though his position remains primarily in reserve.

Limited Japanese proficiency often isolates him during team discussions, his earnest questions met with dismissive remarks. During a debate between teammates Natsusa Yuzuki and Sunao Konoe over recruiting Ibuki Ueoka, senior member Tsuugen Sasaki curtly advises him to “ignore the details,” cementing his outsider status.

Born December 9, he grew up in a bustling household of grandparents, parents, two older siblings, four younger brothers, and two younger sisters. A lover of Thai cuisine who avoids cilantro, he stands 177 cm tall with blood type O. Determined to adapt, he diligently studies Japanese and social cues, though progress unfolds gradually amid cultural divides.
