Character

Satoru Furuya

Satoru Furuya comes from Tomakomai, Hokkaido and is a second-year student of Seidou High School. He was formerly the Ace of the Seidou Baseball Club since the Fall Tournament of his first year until the Spring Tournament of his second year. Currently, he wears No. 11 starting the Summer Regional Tournament. He is Eijun Sawamura's rival and classmate; and roommates with Ono Hiroshi and Yui Kaoru, replacing the graduated Saitou. Satoru is a slim and tall teenage boy. He has medium-length black hair and brown eyes (grey in the anime). Furuya is almost always seen with a sleepy look on his face. Satoru has a stoic, introverted personality and is weak at communication. He has an expressionless face that makes it difficult for his teammates to understand his feelings. However, when provoked, he often exudes a fiery 'aura' as a visual representation of his passion. He was isolated by his friends and teammates in middle school due to his pitches being too powerful, so much so they don't feel like having fun playing with him. Furuya hates to hold back either in pitching or training and is very competitive. As he try to put the most effort into his pitching, he expects the catcher to also do the same and not disappoint him.[7] He shows respect to those that can catch his pitches such as Miyuki but on the other hand, will decline to work with ones that have trouble catching for him like Yui.
