Franz Schester is a German midfield playmaker widely considered the best of his generation. He earned the nicknames "Bremen's Computer" and "Germany's Computer" for his precise, calculated style of play.
Schester debuted in Captain Tsubasa during the manga's early arc, making his first appearance in chapter 88. By the time of the International Jr. Youth tournament in France, he'd already built a reputation as one of Europe's top young talents. What set him apart wasn't just his offensive ability—he showed sharp tactical awareness too, notably figuring out that Tsubasa Ozora was Japan Jr.'s de facto leader despite not holding an official captain's title.
His game centers on creating chances for teammates and finishing chances himself. Beyond the field, he's gained a solid fanbase, particularly among female readers.
