Creation and Conception
When Riichiro Inagaki and Yusuke Murata was originally creating the Eyeshield 21 series, Murata was concerned that each character had a quality that stand out as many of the characters are in groups. Murata said that "due to their heavy protective gear, it would be very difficult to identify personal characteristics in games" then decided to become more engaged in their clothes, and stating "so the most work on character designs are on their uniforms". For the main character Inagaki said he "wanted to create a protagonist that was wimpy at the beginning, yet could perform outstandingly in a sports game". During the creation of the teams he developed the thought that "each team has its own style" and that he would "decide what kind of character should appear in the story before assigning him a team".
During the teams conception Inagaki developed the thought that "each team has its own style" and added saying he "decide what kind of character should appear in the story before assigning him a team." For the creation of Deimon Devil Bats uniform, Murata took into account the Philadelphia Eagles' helmets and for it logo he created six prototypes telling he "spent a lot of work on designing the logo" and noted its the resemblance to Hiruma.
The names of the main characters took from different inspirations. Sena and Hiruma were named after Formula One racing drivers, Ayrton Senna, and Damon Hill respectively.

Famous quotes containing the words creation and/or conception:
“If they had said that the sun or the moon had gone out of the heavens, it could not have struck me with the idea of a more awful and dreary blank in creation than the words: “Byron is dead!””
—Jane Welsh Carlyle (1801–1866)
“Into all that becomes something inward for men, an image or conception as such, into all that he makes his own, language has penetrated ... logic must certainly be said to be the supernatural element which permeates every relationship of man to nature, his sensation, intuition, desire, need, instinct, and simply by so doing transforms it into something human, even though only formally human, into ideas and purposes.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
