Bio
Roberto Miura is one-quarter Brazilian, three-quarters Japanese, and all competitive spirit when playing a game of soccer. Topping off his uniform with a sun-blocking cap, the goalkeeper from Gorin High School maintains a keen eyesight and quick reflexes for the benefit of a future in the sport. Through Capcom's Street Fighter-ish mold, Roberto's skills translate into battle moves, such as dribbling or juggling his opponent like a soccer ball, sidesteps, and even a show-off backflip kick.
Off the field, Roberto is a less violent justice seeker. Since he was raised with two younger brothers, acting as a third-party mediator comes naturally when his friends, Shoma and Natsu, break out into arguments. Larger problems arise when students start disappearing from different high schools, causing those remaining to blame and fight each other. Shocked at the ugly turn of events, Roberto puts his soccer career on hold to help investigate matters.
