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:
“As the truest society approaches always nearer to solitude, so the most excellent speech finally falls into Silence. Silence is audible to all men, at all times, and in all places. She is when we hear inwardly, sound when we hear outwardly. Creation has not displaced her, but is her visible framework and foil. All sounds are her servants, and purveyors, proclaiming not only that their mistress is, but is a rare mistress, and earnestly to be sought after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Every man is in a state of conflict, owing to his attempt to reconcile himself and his relationship with life to his conception of harmony. This conflict makes his soul a battlefield, where the forces that wish this reconciliation fight those that do not and reject the alternative solutions they offer. Works of art are attempts to fight out this conflict in the imaginative world.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
