Syouta U (鵜 翔太 U Syōta) is a character in number24. He is a third year and number 23 who is in the backs reserve in the Doshisha University Team.

Appearance

Background
When Natsusa Yuzuki came back, Ethan Taylor was excited and lifted him up, but was told to be careful with him and he put him down apologizing. He wondered if he lost height in the hospital, but Sousuke Yamada guessed he lost muscle mass, but Syouta though he was the same as usual.

Later when Yuu Mashiro became manager, Ikuto Yufu told Natsusa he needed to recruit people not from the team and Ethan, Sousuke and Syouta told him they wanted a beautiful sexy female, as that would motivate them more. Natsusa mentioned few good qualities of Yuu and uses his flattering phrases which made them think they were smart and they agreed with him and left. Ikuto tried to tell them they were made fools, but they didn't hear him.
