Yukimura Hyouga: Snowboarding

Personally, I don’t think there’s any sport that fits Yukimura better than this. Now, of course, any snow/winter sport could be possible him, but I don’t think he has the body to be a hockey player (unlike Shirosaki) and somehow skating or skiing doesn’t seem to be his thing. In original series, we saw Fubuki being good in snowboarding and I could totally see him taking it professionally if not for soccer. In my headcanon Yukimura is a huge fan of Fubuki twins and takes whatever sport the two do, be it soccer or snowboarding.

Kishibe Taiga: Kendo

He’s not the only guy I have thought to do this sport, but I can totally see Kishibe waving a bamboo sword while trying to hit his opponents. To me, Kishibe is someone who’s dedicated to the sport he does, he practices the basics daily and treats others kindly (be it showing respect toward his senpai or guiding his kouhai). Kishibe is definitely captain material, and while he might not be the strongest in the club, everyone shows their respect toward him.

Miyabino Reiichi: Volleyball

I played volleyball from elementary all the way till high school so there has to be at least one character who takes after my passion sport! Reiichi was my sweet GO child till the appearance of Yukimura, but I still have a soft spot for him. While Miyabino is on the short side when it comes to height, I believe he would have a strong jump – or he’ll be the libero. Either way, I have his as the ace, wing spiker and the captain of the team. He has a lot on his shoulders, but I know he can do it!  

Chrono Stone Characters

Saryuu: Paintball/Laser Tag

This is rather unexpected choice, but I associate Saryuu with guns, so why not? Paintball fits his personality well, he isn’t afraid of pain, the adrenaline rush excites him and he finds “killing off” people a fun thing to do. Saryuu is definitely a person who goes on offence rushing in the first wave, trying to kill off his enemies while aiming to steal the flag. His aim is top-notch also. There was trouble with the leadership at the start, but eventually Saryuu found teammates who follow him (Yes, he’s the captain). Laser Tag is optional version for paintball.

(My joy of paintball comes from personal experience. Also in my headcanon, Fei goes to see Saryuu’s matches while cheering on him. There’s also times when Fei helps out with the training or matches, but he’s more like benchwarmer or makeshift of the team than a official starter member.)  

Lune Fei: Traditional Archery aka. Kyūdō

I was thinking of having in the same sport as Saryuu, but eventually dropped that idea. Fei differs strongly from Saryuu (you could say they’re the total opposites) so I can’t think Fei would like inflicting pain to his opponents. This is why I choose much calmer and more composed sport for Fei. He’s from the future but he’s doing a sport that’s thousands of years old, how ironical. I took into account Fei’s kindness, his calm personality and stringiness when coming up for a sport for him. His interest toward archery does originate from participating in paintball matches. He’s still a beginner level as Kyūdō is usually started in 15 to 16 years.    

Galaxy Characters

Ibuki Masamune: Basketball, Street Dance

I know a little about Ibuki, as I have only seen a few episodes of Galaxy, but there’s no need to think much about this choice of sport. He was originally a member of basketball club so that’s my choice of sport for him. Then again, with his height, bodybuilt and arm strength, my optional choice for him is street dance/hip hop dance. So, whenever he’s not playing basketball, he’s doing dance covers of various hip-hop songs and doing freestyle.

Matatagi Hayato: Track and Field, Parkour

Much like with Ibuki I choose his original sport. But along with that I can totally see Matatagi doing parkour. He has the speed, he has the stamina and he definitely has the attitude. Matatagi is fearless, I can see him as a fast thinker, so he definitely can choose his tracks fast. I suppose his arm strength will raise. Whenever I see parkouring in movies, it’s usually has something to do with stealing money. Hopefully Matatagi won’t use his ability for that.  

Manabe Jinichirou: Chess
