Yukimitsu, Manabu
Summary
Yukimitsu Manabu is a second-year student and the bench player for the Deimon Devil Bats, wearing jersey number 16 as a wide receiver and special teams member. Standing 179 cm tall and weighing 67 kg, he has blood type A and a birthday on February 29. He graduated from Deimon 3rd Middle School and records a 5.5-second time in the 40-yard dash, though his bench press strength remains unknown. Physically, Yukimitsu sports a large forehead with a prominent widow's peak that hints at early male pattern baldness, a feature he accentuates by combing his hair backward. His mother, who named him with the meaning "study," forces him to attend cram school and study from day to night, wanting him to be scholarly. This rigorous upbringing caused him to miss numerous festivals and games during his childhood, leaving him with deep regret. Despite lacking physical fitness, Yukimitsu possesses a remarkable talent for memorizing plays and pass routes. Alongside Mamori and Hiruma, he is considered one of the three smartest students at Deimon. He compensates for his physical limitations by training just as hard, if not harder, than his teammates. He first appears after watching the exhibition match between Zokugaku and Deimon.
