Katsura Fujisawa is a free-lance reporter who decided to follow ETU during the current season. She was previously following Tokyo Victory.    She decides to follow ETU during their season after taking interest in the team following Tatsumi&#039;s claim that he will &quot;make Japanese football interesting&quot; at the coach&#039;s press conference. It was a huge gamble on her part as if Tatsumi&#039;s claim proved a load of hot-air, she would lose an entire year and as a freelance journalist, be greatly negatively impacted by it. During ETU&#039;s losing streak, she managed to get a small article published on the team that was panned by fellow journalist as reading like a high school essay but the photographer Tamotsu Kudo agreed with her assessment that ETU was due for a win because Tatsumi&#039;s face was becoming livelier after each of the five matches ETU lost during the beginning of the season. She does not think much of Yamai.

A truly great coach makes the game of soccer interesting! Tatsumi Takeshi is 35 and has spent the last few years coaching in England before being brought back to Japan to coach his old team. His favorite pastime? Causing giant upsets—aka Giant Killing!

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.
