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:
“The very austerity of the Brahmans is tempting to the devotional soul, as a more refined and nobler luxury. Wants so easily and gracefully satisfied seem like a more refined pleasure. Their conception of creation is peaceful as a dream.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“[M]y conception of liberty does not permit an individual citizen or a group of citizens to commit acts of depredation against nature in such a way as to harm their neighbors and especially to harm the future generations of Americans. If many years ago we had had the necessary knowledge, and especially the necessary willingness on the part of the Federal Government, we would have saved a sum, a sum of money which has cost the taxpayers of America two billion dollars.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
