Description
Shōta U, a third-year student at Doshisha University, serves as a back reserve player wearing jersey number 23 on the university's rugby team. He sports medium-length brown hair with distinctive pink strands on the left side and striking purple-pink eyes.
His personality prioritizes external motivation, particularly expressing a shared desire with teammates Ethan Taylor and Sousuke Yamada for a "beautiful sexy female" manager to increase team morale. Shōta is susceptible to flattery, frequently accepting persuasive or complimentary statements from teammates like Natsusa Yuzuki without immediate skepticism. This tendency leads him to agree with their viewpoints, even when others observe he is being manipulated.
For example, when Natsusa returned after an absence, Shōta speculated about physical changes such as height loss, though Sousuke attributed it to muscle loss; Shōta ultimately concurred that Natsusa appeared unchanged.
The etymology of his name reflects symbolic traits: "Shōta" combines "soar, glide, fly" (翔) and "thick, big" (太), while his surname "U" references the cormorant or shag, a diving bird known for its long neck, hooked bill, and voracious appetite.
A recurring trivia note highlights his shared preference with Ethan for a female manager to boost morale, alongside his consistent susceptibility to Natsusa’s flattering remarks.
