In his first year at Oujou Private Junior High, Haruto Sakuraba drew all the attention to himself because of his height. He became a Wide Receiver for the Oujou White Knights. With him, Shin entered the team. But coach Shogun was more interested in Shin than in Sakuraba. Being always in the shadow of Shin’s success, Sakuraba felt lonely. He couldn’t prove himself as a worthy player either. While he was walking down the street, Miracle Ito of Jari Productions noticed his good looks and height. Through Ito, Sakuraba became very famous. People, mostly girls, thought automatically that he is Oujou’s new ace. Since then he feels a lot of pressure on him in every game. Due a tackle by Sena, Sakuraba gets injured. In the hospital he meets Torakichi, who is a big fan of him. When he got out of the hospital, he finally decided to change and practice as hard as Shin does. Now his skills as a receiver improved and he can call himself an ace.
He was one of the 4 best receivers in Kanto, he could cacth Takami's everest pass and with Shin he make combination called "Sagitarius".
