Nishizono Shinsuke

Nishizono Shinsuke (西園 信助) is one of the main supporting characters of the Inazuma Eleven GO anime. He plays as a defender, and goalkeeper for the Raimon team. Later on he is a goalkeeper for Raimon in the Chrono Stone series, and later for Chrono Storm. He was later chosen to be the reserve goalkeeper for Earth Eleven. It is implied he is the captain of Galaxy Eleven.

Background
Not much about his childhood is known. Not even about his parents or birthday.

Personality
He is described as always being energetic, and very optimistic. He gets along with Tenma very well. He is even very determined, and likes soccer very much. However in Episode 28, he steps away from soccer because Kidou made him train harder than the others, which he resembles as 'mean'. He also stated that he won't come to practice on the third day since Kidou was in charge, along with Amagi and Hikaru (though Hikaru was just carried along by Amagi). He said that someone like Tenma won't understand how he feels, so he barely talked to him for half of the episode. Later that same episode, he came back to his true personality, and kept fighting to the very end. However when Endou left for unknown reasons, Shinsuke was depress even when he was learning to be a goalkeeper. He wanted Endou to help him with the task but was surprised when he met one of Endou's friends, Tachimukai Yuuki, who give him good advice on how to be a good goalkeeper. It was Tachikawa's own advice that made Shinsuke master Majin the Hand. He is also very knowledgeable about dinosaurs.
