Position: FW years old Height: 166cm Weight: 60kg  Jersey: #20  Kyohei Sera is a forward at ETU with jersey #20. He made it into the starting line-up when Takeshi Tatsumi became coach.   Sera believes that the job of a forward is to score goals and his dream is to do a backflip in celebration after scoring the winning goal. Following the return of Natsuki, Sera became worried about keeping his position as the first choice striker as the ETU formation at the time only required a lone striker.  He became determine to prove himself by scoring a goal but in his jealousness managed to sustain an injury that kept his out of subsequent games, during which Natsuki played and scored. Observing from the the sidelines, Katsura Fujisawa wondered if recent developments were to be interpreted as a battle between the three strikers (Natsuki, Sera and Sakai) for the lone position of striker. However, shortly after, Tatsumi switched to a two striker format in the game against the Osaka Gunners.  (Source: Wikipedia)

East Tokyo United, ETU, has been struggling in Japan's top football league for a few years.  It has taken everything they have just to avoid relegation. To make matters even worse, the fans are starting to abandon the team.<br><br>
In an effort to improve their performance, ETU has hired a new coach, the slightly eccentric Tatsumi Takeshi.  Tatsumi, who was considered a great football player when he was younger, abandoned the team years before but has proven himself as the manager of one of England's lower division amateur teams.  The task won't be easy, the teams East Tokyo United is pitted against have bigger budgets and better players.  However, Tatsumi is an expert at Giant Killing.
