Plot

Endou Mamoru is a cheerful goalkeeper in Raimon Jr High, with six other players in the team. But there was a day when the team was almost lead to disbandment by Natsumi unless they are to win the match against the Teikoku Gakuen, currently the best team of Japan. He tried to save the club by gathering four more players to the team. In the second series, Endou and Raimon had to gather players from all over Japan to defeat the new enemies, Aliea Gakuen. In the third series, the Football Frontier International was announced, and Inazuma Japan was assembled, the coach being Kudou Michiya.

Characters

• Mamoru Endou (円堂 守) (Mark Evans) (Captain, Goal Keeper, Libero) - Mamoru is described as a football loving, cheerful goalkeeper. He is the type of person who never gives up and always thinks of others before himself. He also shows great admiration toward his grandfather, Daisuke, and keeps training notebooks that his grandfather wrote, which includes hissatsu techniques. People around him call him a football maniac due to his love for football. Because of his positive personality, he attracts people even if they're enemy or ally. It was because of this that he was able to gather new members. His teammates benefit from his mental strength and encouragement. They also respect him despite his carefree attitude. He trains harder than anyone else to get stronger. The reason for doing so is that he wishes to face stronger opponents. Though he may be at disadvantage, he always find a way to bring his teammates to victory. His techniques include the God Hand (which later evolves into the True God Hand and further evolves into God Hand V), Fireball Punch, the Majin Hand, the Fist of Justice (which evolved into a libero technique, the Megaton Head), the Hammer of Wrath,and Outer Dimension Hand (which later evolves into Outer Dimension Hand Remastered and True Outer Dimension Hand) and God Catch.
• Shirou Fubuki (吹雪 士郎) (Shawn Froste) (Forward, Defender) - When the Raimon Eleven team first meets him, he is the captain of Hakuren Junior High School's Football club in Hokkaido, and is both an excellent defender as well as the team's ace striker. He joins the Raimon Eleven in episode 33 to defeat Aliea Academy. He is afraid of loud noises resembling avalanches, due to his family being killed in an avalanche. Initially, he has a split personality, and switches to his brother's when on the offensive on the football field. He wants to be perfect and believes that he can only do so if he continues to be one with his brother. Later on, with Gouenji and the others' help, he realizes he can be perfect just by playing with others as a team and his brother's personality fades away. Comically, he seems to be popular with most girls as shown in the anime for his kind attitude towards people. His secret techniques include Eternal Blizzard, Wolf's Legend and Ice Ground (which later evolves into Snow Angel). He can also do combination techniques, such as Crossfire with Gouenji and Thunder Beast with Hijikata, and the birth with Hiroto. Further on in the story, Fubuki becomes a member of Inazuma Japan for the Football Frontier International (FFI). Unfortunately, his leg gets badly injured in a match with Korea's Fire Dragon team during the Asia finals. He eventually returns to substitute Kurimatsu.
• Shuuya Gouenji (豪炎寺 修也) (Axel Blaze) (Forward) - He is the ace striker and voice of reason of the team. His sister, Yuuka is in a coma because of Kageyama's interference to stop him from playing against Teikoku Academy. He keeps an amulet made by his sister, and makes a promise with her to stop playing football, but when he sees that his passion for the game is strong, he changes that promise to become the champion of the Football Frontier. Later, Yuka wakes up from her coma, and he begins to play football more freely with his teammates. Gouenji joins up with the others to play against teams around the world. He becomes close friends with Endou, Koyuki, Fubuki, and Kido as the story progresses. His known techniques are the Fire Tornado (which evolves into the Fire Tornado Remastered), Bakunetsu Storm, and the Bakunetsu Screw.

• Yuuto Kidou (鬼道 有人) (Jude Sharp) (Midfielder) - He wears goggles and a red cape. Originally from Teikoku. The reason why he plays for Teikoku is for his sister, Haruna Otonashi. He was forced to win 3 constructive football championships in order to be with her again, so he decided not to contact her for 6 years, leading Otonashi to believe she gets in his way. After seeing Kageyama's wrongdoings, he and the rest of Teikoku quit. Eventually, Kidou joins Endou's team, changing his cape to blue. He is mostly the strategist of the team.

His secret techniques include the Banana Shoot, the Dance of the Wind God(which later evolves into Dance of the Wind God Remastered), Tornado Falls which he performs with Kabeyama in the match against Korea Fire Dragons and the Hurricane with Fubuki. With the aliea meteorite he performs Bunshin Defense, Dark Phoenix and Triple Boost.
• Heigorou Kabeyama (壁山 塀吾郎) (Jack Wallside) (Defender) - Despite his height, he is a really shy person, sometimes even disappearing before a match, with the excuse of going to the bathroom.

• Ryuugo Someoka (染岡 竜吾) (Kevin Dragonfly) (Forward) - Self-proclaimed ace striker of the team, he had troubles with Gouenji for that position. Later, he accepts Gouenji and acquires new techniques, like the Dragon Crash and Wyvern Crash, and he combines with Gouenji to form Dragon Tornado. After Gouenji left, and Fubuki was brought in in his stead, he initially had trouble accepting Fubuki as he strongly felt that Gouenji shouldn't be replaced and the ace-striker seat was rightfully his. However, he later overcame it, with Endou's help, with the belief that they were strengthening the team so that when Gouenji came back, the team would be good enough for him. He has a combination hissatsu technique with Fubuki(Wyvern Blizzard) and with Goenji(Dragon Tornado).
