Jun Misugi

Misugi was first introduced in Captain Tsubasa (1981), chapter 15. He is one of Japan's pivotal players and is considered a "football genius", similar to Tsubasa Ozora. When he captained Musashi, he wore the jersey #14, then #24, #6 and #14 at present for Japan. The #14 on his back was after the Dutch superstar Johan Cruyff — his idol. In the 2018 anime, Misugi is depicted to be left-footed although he is proficient to dribble and pass with both feet. Being an allrounder, over the years Misugi has proven himself the true leader and backbone of Japan's defense with his good technical ability, savvy tactics and immense courage as well as determination.
