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".
