Kyuma

Profile

"All right, play ball! David, let me try one too!"

A baseball club member studying at a top-class sports school in Tokyo. One day, Kyuuma aims to join the pro league, but one thing stands in his way: he is absolutely talentless and terrible at baseball, hardly ever serving a role more significant than ball fetching or bench warming for the team. Though Kyuuma himself has no talent whatsoever, he admires those who do, and looks up to them as the shining example of achievement he strives for. There is, however, an ugly part of him he doesn't like admitting to which can't help but feel jealous of them.

Kyuuma lends control of his body to David, a spirit that appeared from another world; and one of the greatest pitchers ever known with a fastball that topples giants. Under David's control, Kyuuma goes from an inept first-year to a first class pitcher with quick, powerful throws that can precisely target the opponent's weaknesses. Even so, Kyuuma wishes to reach this level with his own ability, and spends hours in long training sessions even after the rest of his teammates have left. Having come to like him, David helps out with this training in special lessons at the riverside.

Notes

The spirit that accompanies Kyuuma is David, of the biblical story of David and Goliath, a young man who defeated a massive Philistine warrior thought to be unstoppable with a single well thrown slingstone.
