List Of Big Windup! Characters
The Big Windup! anime and manga series features a cast of characters created by Asa Higuchi. The series takes place in a fictional version of Saitama, Japan, where different high school baseball teams compete in official tournaments. The anime series consists of 26 episodes, while the manga series is ongoing.
The main character of the series is Ren Mihashi, a nervous high school student who is passionate about pitching. At the start of the series, he takes up attendance at Nishiura High School and becomes the pitcher for the school's newly formed baseball team. As the series progresses, Mihashi develops strong friendships with his team-mates, most notably with the catcher, Takaya Abe, whom he holds in high esteem. The team quickly develops an ambition to go to Koushien, the finals of the summer baseball tournament, and competes with several other baseball teams to this end.
Higuchi was inspired to write her own baseball manga when she heard the story of a local baseball team when she was in high school. While growing up in Saitama (where the series is set), Higuchi became familiar with baseball by reading the manga Dokaben. Higuchi collected data on high school baseball for over 10 years in order to create the manga, and she worked with the school she had attended, Urawanishi High School, in the year prior to the serialization.
