Youmeikan High School (大阪陽盟館高校)

A prestigious school in Osaka, a fiercely competitive area that boasts the nation’s top talent. All the club members are scouted and must be at least 6 feet tall. The club’s goal is not to participate in Koshien but to win the Koshien championship, and it has produced a number of professionals. Many of the club members consider the world of professional baseball as a continuation of their baseball.

According to the director, the current first-year members are the top generation of all time. In the summer of their first year, they defeated Teitoku by a wide margin in the first round, and won the spring and summer championships in a row.

Staff

Kameda (亀田)

Director of the baseball team. He has a keen eye for finding talent from all over the country. He has led Youmei to the Koshien championship with his coaching ability, producing players who turn professional year after year. He wanted Kiyomine to join Youmei and personally went to invite him, believing that he has much potential to grow as a pitcher.

Members

Kirishima Natsuhiko (桐島 夏彦)

Youmei’s ace pitcher. He is also the younger brother of Hikawa’s Kirishima Shuuto. He is even more foul-mouthed than his older brother, and often disparages the other players who lose to him. He looks down on his older brother who was not selected by Youmei and had instead gone to Tokyo.

Shirahata Takafumi (白旗 孝史)

He is polite and often calls out the word “dignity” and condemns Kirishima’s comments as “undignified”. His family is in real estate and quite well-off.

Nagi Kaoru (凪 薫)

With the height of 188cm, he has a strong arm and a physique beyond the average high school boy. General Kaname calls him the “Wall of Osaka” (大阪の壁) and the reason why Kaname would not be made the main catcher if he had gone to Youmei.

Usually expressionless, he has a lack of appetite and prefers to take small portions of food.
