When he first joined the club, he wasn't exactly welcomed with open arms—Co-Captain Kamiya stuck him with laundry duty. Things changed once the team realized how talented he'd been back in middle school, and they finally let him into actual training.
What made Toshi stand out to coach Kubo was immediately obvious: his footwork was different from everyone else's. Kubo noticed he was unstable and off-balance with his right leg, which bothered him. After taking a closer look, Kubo figured out Toshi's real gift—an exceptionally powerful left leg. Rather than force him to adapt, Kubo pulled him aside for specialized one-on-one training, which Toshi initially resented.
But once Kubo had him focus purely on left-footed shooting, everything clicked. Toshi discovered he had a genuinely devastating weapon: his left leg could shoot with incredible force. Kubo himself was shocked by the raw power. From there, Toshi earned the nickname "The Miracle Left" and became the team's number 10 and ace striker.
