Captain of the U-20 Japan national team, known as the “Diamond Generation” for its ironclad defense and abundant talent. Positioned as a center back, he is the key to the national team’s defense. A mix of Swedish, German, and Japanese.
His skills as a defender, physical ability, leadership and more all make him stand out among his peers, and he is attracting attention as one of the players who will lead the next generation of Japan’s national team.

Q1. Impression of this work
My first impression when I read the original work was that it was a very unique work with a strong personality and a unique charm. Not
only the work itself, but each of the characters also has a very strong personality, and I was attracted to the way these characters grow as a team while expressing their own opinions.
Q2. Impression and enthusiasm for the character you are playing
Oliver Aizora is the captain of the U-20 Japan national team, and while he places importance on team unity and cooperation, he also has a part of him that pursues his ideal style of soccer. He is a reliable character, but he also has a selfish side. He
also has a very mature sex appeal, so I hope to bring that charm to the forefront.
Ace of the U-20 Japan national team. Position is center forward. Two-block haircut and asymmetrical bangs are his trademark.
Despite his young age, he has great talent, playing as a regular forward in the first division of the Japanese domestic league. He is the team’s top scorer in national team matches, and is highly trusted by his teammates.

Q1. Impression of this work
I thought this was a really interesting work because it focuses on “ego” and “egoists,” which generally have a strong negative image, and depicts them in a non-offensive way within the team sport of soccer, as the key to each character’s failures, challenges, and growth. I’m really looking forward to seeing
how these individuals change in a group made up of strong individuals, and even though I used to overwhelmingly read manga in book form, I’ve started following the latest chapters for the first time in a long time (lol).
Q2. Impression and enthusiasm for the character you are playing
Although he is the ace striker of the U-20 Japan national team that stands in the way of the Blue Lock team this time, my honest impression when he first appeared was that he was surprisingly mentally weak and a bit of a small-time samurai.
But of course, he’s not just a samurai. Sendou is such a fascinating character that he could have been the main character in a different work, so I hope to do my best to convey that good point in my performance. Please look
forward to seeing how Sendou changes during the match and how he stands in the way of the Blue Lock team.
All 14 episodes will be broadcast starting on Saturday, October 5th.
Every Saturday from 11:30pm on the nationwide TV Asahi network “IMAnimation” slot.
