The main character of Major 2nd is anguished by the difference in talent between him and his father, but he still tries his best in his own way, which is what makes him so appealing. In this article, we will introduce the main character!
What kind of character is the main character?
The main character of this story, Shigeno Daigo, is the eldest son of Shigeno Goro, the main character of the previous work "MAJOR", who is currently an active baseball player and a former major leaguer.
What is the protagonist's talent for baseball?
Daigo is also called "Shigeno II" because of his father's talent. Furthermore, his biological grandfather, Honda Shigeharu, and his step-grandfather, Shigeno Hideki, were both former professional baseball players, so he is even called "Shigeno III." Of course, those around him expect him to be a thoroughbred in the baseball world, and he feels pressured by that. Although he has the judgment skills he inherited from his father, Daigo's own baseball sense is rather ordinary, and he is not a genius type. Moreover, due to his short height, he felt inferior to his father and grandfather, and the expectations of those around him were a burden, so he once quit baseball.
An encounter changes the protagonist
But when he met Sato Hikaru in the sixth grade, he decided to start playing baseball again. By the way, Sato Hikaru's father is Sato Toshiya. He is Goro's best friend who also appeared in the previous work. Under his guidance, the protagonist began to aim to become a catcher.
The protagonist becomes captain in junior high school
He doesn't have the outstanding talent or physical ability of his father, but he makes up for it with daily effort, practice, and training. Furthermore, in his second year of junior high school, he is appointed captain of the Kazehaya Junior High School baseball team, which is short on members, and he shows great potential to bring together the quirky new students.
What about his personality?
The protagonist's personality is hot-blooded, just like his father, but unlike his father, he knows the time, place, and occasion, so he's kind of secretly hot-blooded. His father also had a strong mentality that was out of the ordinary (?), but the protagonist, who is at a somewhat normal level, is in a sensitive period appropriate for his age and has a mentally fragile side. In addition, in elementary school, he was compared to his father and felt inferior and jealous, and when he became a junior high school student, he was completely broken by Hikaru's serious injury, the collapse of the baseball club, and the change in Hikaru. However, at such times, Goro and Toshiya came to his rescue, and he faced the situation himself and recovered and grew up.
What is the protagonist's family situation?
By the way, the protagonist's family situation is that his father and grandfather are baseball players, so he earns a lot of money and is financially well off. He lives in a large mansion with baseball equipment and a large pool. By the way, his father plays for various teams both domestically and internationally, so he doesn't spend much time at home, but they seem to get along well.
