Gentile is a minor forward for Italy Jr. Youth, best known for appearing during the J Boys' Challenge story arc in Captain Tsubasa. He wears number 12, though fans often note some inconsistency in his original manga appearances—he showed up wearing number 9 (Golbate's actual number), and a play he was involved in was later reassigned to Federico (#4) in the 2001 anime adaptation.
It's worth clarifying that Gentile is a distinct character from Salvatore Gentile, a defender, and also separate from the forward named Gentile who appears in Captain Tsubasa J: Get in the Tomorrow—though that game character seems to draw from a combination of Gentile's forward position, Salvatore's physical traits, and an entirely different personality.
He was among Italy Jr.'s forwards who competed against Japan Jr. in the International Jr. Youth tournament.
