Shoma Sawamura

Story

Rival Schools: United By Fate

After his brother, Shuuichi, is injured in an attack, Shoma set out to find those responsible. He partners up with Natsu and Roberto after finding out they are doing similar investigations of their own. His good ending has his brother encouraging him to become a pro baseball player.

Project Justice

After apparently being attacked by "Batsu," a student by the name of Momo Karuizawa befriends Shoma. After an internal conflict between the Gorin High students sees Shoma separate from his friends, Momo convinces him to help her beat up the students from other schools. Eventually Momo betrays Shoma and reveals her plan to have him help her cause chaos among the schools. He later reunites with his friends who welcome him back with open arms.

Personality

"Explosive Slugger"

Shoma is a brash and impulsive person with a short fuse who was known for getting into fights before joining his school's baseball team. He is very self-conscious about his height, which Natsu takes great pleasure in ridiculing. He is childhood friends with Nagare whom he sees as a brother figure. All his friends know he and Natsu have feelings for each other but they both have trouble admitting it.
