Rikiya Gaou

Position: Lineman / Offensive Tackle Jersey Number: 70 Bench Press: 210 kg Height: 6' 7" Weight: 288 lbs Birthday: April 4 1st Year Student (Grade 10) Although a rookie to American football, Gaou is one of the two most powerful linemen in Japanese high school, purely because of his tremendous strength. He is two meters tall and has a monstrous, caveman-like appearance, with long wild black hair, red marks on his cheeks, and a large scar on his forehead.

He holds the Japanese bench press record with over two hundred kilograms and is capable of destroying furniture, tearing metal guardrails, and breaking normal people's bones with his bare hands; he wears a titanium alloy mouthpiece because his powerful jaw tears apart ordinary ones. Gaou claims to have searched for someone who can match his power for his entire life, and joined the football team because Marco promised him that the most powerful teams in the country possess such individuals. He has little respect for those not willing to face him directly and tremendous respect for those who do even if they are crushed, including Banba, the aces of Seibu, and Hiruma.

He also honors the rules of American football and will not tackle a player who does not have the ball. (Source: Wikipedia)
