Yuuhei Azuma

Position: First baseman Younger brother of Junpei Azuma in the same year as K. Yhei was brought over to Seish High School by Coach Daimon to play in his firststring team. He is an excellent batter so he is the current cleanup hitter at Seish. He has trouble recalling other people039s names and faces stating that he only remembers people that are worth caring for but he apparently remembers K Kitamura. He has lost some of his confidence in Coach Daimon and the baseball team at the end of his first year but seeing K039s abilities during the practice game convinces him to stay in Seish after Daimon is sacked. Yhei039s obsession to reach Kshien is due to his guilt towards Junpei Azuma his older brother. Junpei injured his leg ending his rising baseball career while saving Yhei from falling down a staircase. The guilt of ending his brother039s career turns his desire to reach Kshien into obsession. Also since then Yhei has been very sensitive towards children who are playing around stairs and matters of when a person039s recklessness effects more then themselves. Because of that he is shown initially to be very cold and uncaring towards people around him as he is only concerned with reaching Kshien. He gradually begins to enjoy the game more becoming less stern on outcome and more on performance and make friends as Junpei039s happiness becomes more sincere throughout the series turning Kshien more and more to a personal dream or goal rather then a amends to his brother. He has stated that he has romantic interests in Aoba. Source: Wikipedia
