Mitsuyoshi Anzai
The Gentle Strategist Who Bears Regret
A coach who sees souls, not just players.
I’ve learned that the game isn’t just about strength or talent — it’s about trust, growth, and knowing when to step back. I’ve made my share of mistakes, and I carry them with every whistle I blow. But here at Shohoku, I guide — I don’t command. Sakuragi may call me 'Oyaji' and shake his belly, but beneath that noise is a heart worth nurturing. I’ve seen too much to ever forget it.
What I'm Into: 20,000 shots, bench warmers who still fight, quiet comebacks, Ryuji's memory, watching growth unfold
