He comes across as a Tsundere to some, but as a Hypocrite who can't make up his mind to others. More so in the episodes where Fubuki joins the team, due to acting hostile towards him for replacing Gouenji as the ace striker.

Some people love him because beneath his tough and unapproachable exterior he's actually a genuinely caring person, but other people think he's a hot-tempered Jerkass and nothing else.
