deimon devil bats
Red Devil Bat, a nonexistent creature which bears a striking resemblance to Hiruma Yoichi.
Helmet logo: black, white facemask, and red bat-wings (with a white outline) along each side.
Team colours: Red, white, black. The pants of the team's uniform are revealed in the Eyeshield 21 video games to be a very light beige, rather than white.
Notes: This team represents the Deimon Private Senior High School (私立泥門高等学校 Shiritsu Deimon Kōtōgakkō). The high-school incarnation of the middle-school club, the Maou Devil Bats, the Deimon American Football Club started out with only three members: Yoichi Hiruma, Ryoukan Kurita, and Gen "Musashi" Takekura. After its inaugural year, its membership was further reduced with the departure of Gen Takekura. This remained the case until Hiruma found Sena Kobayakawa and his amazing running ability.
The team's chant is "Kill'em! YA-HA!"(ブッコロス!YA-HA!!Bukkorosu! YA-HA!!
This team is opposite to that of Ojo, who's philosophy is made on ultimate defense. It is based on extreme offense, partly due to the fact that it initially lacked a kicker and also based on the ideals of its captain Hiruma, who totally focuses on offense. It does not matter if the other team scores, so long as you score MORE points. See the section on Doburoku Sakaki.

The demon of Deimon High, Hiruma Youichi, was one to be feared by all. He has a book that contains all the information about someone since they were a young. With the book, Youichi is able to blackmail people with embarrassing moments about them. This evil book was used to recruit people for the team in the beginning of the series. Other than being the demon of Deimon High, Youchi is the founder, captain, and quarterback of the Deimon High Devil bats American Football team. He trains the team according to his knowledge of American Football and decides on what to do, you could say he's the brains of the entire operation.

The errand boy that always ran as a child, Kobayakawa Sena, acknowledged his true skills when he joined the American Football team. Because of all the running Sena did from making errands when he was younger, he develop his lightning speed legs. These golden legs were spotted by the captain of the Devil bats, which led to Sena being forced to join the team. But to prevent other teams from fighting for Sena's legs, he was required to hide his face. To do this, Sena wore a helmet with an eyeshield and a jersey with the number 21. This lead to the codename "Eyeshield 21."

In the beginning of the series, the Deimon Devil bats were recruiting players for their first game. From the track team, Ishimaru Tetsuo was asked to play, but he was unable to attend due to his part-time job delivering the town's magazines. But Sena was willing to do anything to get Tetsuo to play, and because of this, Sena ended up helping Tetsuo distributing half of the town's magazines. Thanks to Sena's hard work, Tetsuo was able to play in the first game. And after that, Tetsuo just sort of kept on playing with the team in each of the football games.

Kurita Ryoukan, you could say he’s the gentle giant of the Devil bats. Although Ryoukan is the strongest linemen and a giant, he is actually friendly and polite. Whenever Sena would feel down, Ryoukan would be there to help cheer him up. During a game, Ryoukan would utter the sound "Funnuraba," this is a special grunt that he makes when he blocks his opponents. The grunt has no particular meaning in Japanese. In the beginning, it was just Ryoukan and Youichi in the American Football club, that was only until Sena had showed up. Both Kurita Ryoukan and Anezaki Mamori have something in common, they love their sweets.

Juumonji Kazuki is the head of the Ha Ha Kyoudai, which consists of Kuroki Kouji, Toganou Shouzou, and himself. Kazuki was first introduced to us as bullies of Sena's high school life. On Sena's first day, he was already forced by the Ha Ha Kyoudai to buy them bread. He had failed his errand because the bread at the shop was all sold out, which led to Sena being chased by them. This chase was also what led to Youichi spotting Sena's fast legs. Although in the beginning, Kazuki and the Ha Ha Kyoudai were just bullies, they ended up joining the Devil bats as defensive linemen. He is referred to as one of the Huh-Huh Brothers by Hiruma although not really related.

Birthday: 10/13
Year: 1st / Gr. 10

Position: Tackle/Defensive End
40 Yard Dash: 5.5 sec

Toganou Shouzou is another member of the Ha Ha Kyoudai, and is quite the wackiest one out of the three in my opinion. He has yellow hair similar to Goku from Dragon Ball Z, but with less spikes, and has orange circular goggles which give him an even more weirder look. There's not much information about Shouzou, but he also joins the Devil bats as defensive linemen later on in the series. Concluding the so called Huh-Huh Brothers is Shouzou.

Ever since Sena was a little kid, there was a person who protected him like a little brother, that person is Anezaki Mamori. It is not clear on how Mamori and Sena came to be, but Mamori was always there to protect Sena. Even in high school, she was still sticking up for him. When Sena joined the American Football Club, Mamori feared that it would be too dangerous for him. Knowing that Youichi was in charge of the club, gave Mamori an even greater will to protect Sena. But in order for her to be there by Sena's side, Mamori would have to join the club herself. This led to the new manager of the Devil bats.

One day, when he saw the game between the Devil Bats and the Zokugaku, he felt a burning desire in his heart to join the team.

Taki is Deimon's Tight End. He always makes weird poses and thinks of him as an all-around super football player. He went to America to play American football and tried out for a NFL team. That's where Sena met him the first time. After failing the try out, Sena offered him to play for the Deimon Devil Bats back in Japan. Taki has a lot of potential and talent but his dumbness is always in his way. He finished the Death March with the team and became a high school student at Deimon High. Now he was finally able to play football. He is a great addition to the team and very useful. His sister Suzuna is always with him.
