Butt-Monkey: Because of The Worf Effect. Especially in the Tanabata event.
The Captain: He was captain of Raimon until he asked Shindou to take the role.
Crutch Character: His catch stat starts out and remains the highest in the party, and for being the only goalie you have to start with he does his job very well. But he never gets an Avatar, while Shinsuke does, so by the end of the game he'll be a better goalie than Sangoku. This is justified by the story: Sangoku is a third year so won't be able to play in the team much longer, and names Shinsuke as his replacement.
Dishing Out Dirt: Fence of Gaia. He smashes the ground with his fists and giant mountains which stop the ball raise from the hole.
Disappeared Dad: His mother mentions that he doesn't have a father, although the reason for his absence is not further disclosed.
Momma's Boy: Non-negative example. His mom is something of a Doting Parent, and he cares about her a great deal, but Sangoku is not at all timid and very responsible.
Odd Name, Normal Nickname: In the English dub, Samguk is called Sam for short.
Playing with Fire: His element in the game is fire. His most notable fire hissatsu is Burning Catch: his right hand catches fire, which estinguishes after he spins twice in the air before catching the ball.
Precocious Crush: In the games he has a crush on Aki.
Supreme Chef: He sometimes does the cooking himself in place of his mom and he's shown to be good at it.
Team Dad / Team Mom: Depends on what the team needs at the time.
The Worf Effect: Poor Sangoku. His hissatsu technique, Burning Catch, is often broken to show how strong the opponents are. Even Kirino's seiyuu apologized for her line about him not being able to protect the goal.
Alliterative Name: His dub name, Gabriel Garcia
Awesomeness by Analysis: He was the one who figured out how to break the tactics of Gassan Kunimitsu.
The Captain: Becomes Raimon's temporary captain in Galaxy after Tenma, Shindou, and Tsurugi get selected for the national team.
Childhood Friends: He and Shindou were friends since elementary school, where they were both in the soccer club.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Deliberately invoked. Kirino was designed with "beauty" in mind.
Even the Guys Want Him: In the Valentine's Day chapter of the anthology manga, he gets a lot of chocolate from girls, but much to his dismay, also from some (not particularly good-looking) boys.
Expy: As a pretty-boy defender who's a longtime friend of the team's captain, he's basically Kazemaru 2.0.
Fighting Spirit: Banner Warrior Brynhildr and Armed as well..
First-Name Basis: Jeanne is the only character to address him exclusively by his given name.
Fusion Dance: With Joan of Arc.
Girlish Pigtails: A rare male example; he has low-tied twintails. According to an interview, he hates them for making him look like a girl.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: He and Shindou have been close since they were kids.
Kindhearted Cat Lover: The Inazuma Eleven GO Anthology manga reveals that he likes cats, and they like Kirino back. He is good with cats because he plays with Shindou's.
Meaningful Name: The "Kiri" in his name means "mist", referring to his signature hissatsu techniques, The Mist and Deep Mist.
Mysterious Mist: His signature hissatsu, a play on the kiri in his name meaning "mist". While The Mist is a simple smokescreen, its evolved form Deep Mist seems to make the ball outright vanish from under the opponent's feet and appear at Kirino's.
Nice Guy: Outside of a brief period of self-doubt and bitterness in Chrono Stone, he's nothing but kind and supportive to the team.
Playing with Fire: In Chrono Stone, mixi-maxing with Jeanne d'Arc gives him the La Flamme hissatsu.
Pretty Boy: He's intentionally drawn to look as pretty as possible. It's implied that he's considered good-looking, and during the Valentine's Day chapter from the anthology manga, he gets nearly as much chocolate as Shindou.
Rose-Haired Sweetie: He's a nice and feminine guy who has pink hair.
Smoke Out: The Mist generates a thick cloud of... well, mist to blind the opposing player while he steals the ball.
Ambiguously Brown: He had tan skin since he was young, but his ethnicity is not clear.
The Big Guy: The biggest guy physically who blocks very well and is tough in personality.
Bully Magnet: There was a time in his life where every kid bullied him until Mahoro stood up for him. The kids stopped bullying Amagi, but targeted Mahoro instead, which ruined their friendship for a long time.
Childhood Friends: He was friends with Mahoro before they fell apart, but they make amends after Amagi finds out the truth of why his friend avoided him. They both had another friend named Kousaka Yukie.
Goggles Do Nothing: He wears his goggles in a way they can't be used.
Hot-Blooded: He is rather hot-tempered, mainly because he doesn't like unfair things.
Meaningful Name: His name "Daichi" means "earth". He's an earth player whose hissatsu techniques are also earth-attributed.
Odd Friendship: With Hikaru. They are different in personality and when Kidou is appointed as coach, Amagi literally drags Hikaru with him to skip practice because of how tough the training menu is.
Commonality Connection: They bond over the fact they were both bullied in elementary school and struggled to make friends.
Stone Wall: He has terrible stats in everything except Block, but he blocks very, very well. His techniques also involve literal walls.
Used to Be a Sweet Kid: A milder example. He was nice when he was younger despite being bullied, but began to toughen up after Mahoro started ignoring him without telling him why.
Verbal Tic: Adds "-do" to the end of his sentences.
Ambiguously Brown: He's one of the dark-skinned members of the team, but his ethnicity is not clear.
Can't Catch Up: His worries when the juniors like Kariya and Shinsuke prove to be good.
Hot-Blooded: He is quite fiery and courageous, which is also shown in his hissatsu technique.
Nice Guy: He encourages Tenma and later Shinsuke when they assume goalkeeper position. He's also friendly in general.
Pointless Bandaid: He wears a bandait on his nose as an accessory.
Stone Wall: Pretty much Raimon's brick wall.
The Cynic: He's the first to start muttering about how the situation is hopeless and the team is doomed. His English bio describes him as having "distinctly pessimistic tendencies".
Dismotivation: This left him particularly distressed when best friend Hamano starts getting enthusiastic about going against Fifth Sector. Hayami gets better.
Dude Looks Like a Lady: Blame the pigtails; he's otherwise obviously a boy.
FanBoy: He's a fan of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Much to his disappointment, he is not chosen to travel to this era in Chrono Stone.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Hamano.
Nerd Glasses: But they're thick round frames instead of being opaque.
Skintone Sclerae: His eyes don't contain sclerae.
Adaptational Wimp: His shoot hissatsu technique Sidewinder is quite good in the games. In the anime, it only managed to score once and it was part of a chain shoot.
Ambiguously Brown: He's very dark-skinned, but doesn't resemble a black person otherwise.
Animal Motifs: Snakes. Specifically, a sidewinder, which is showcased in the hissatsu with the same name.
The Cynic: He is not as negative as Hayami but still usually voices doubt about feasibility of the team's plans.
Hair-Trigger Temper: Appeared to be this at first because he found Tenma annoying.
Hiding Behind Your Bangs: They cover his left eye and fit somebody who hides his positive emotions, but deep down cares for his friends.
The Napoleon: He's the second shortest member in the team and is very short-tempered, especially disliking "annoying" people like Tenma. He later warms up to him, though.
Taking the Bullet: In the final match of the Holy Road tournament, he gets injured after he takes Senguuji's shot that was meant to hurt Tenma.
Took a Level in Kindness: He becomes less cynical as the first season goes on and he improves his opinion about Tenma, going from blaming him for the team's misery to taking a dangerous shot for him in the final match.
The Worf Barrage: His shoot hissatsu, Sidewinder, has the unfortunate fate of being often used to showcase how strong the opponent's goalkeeper is.
Expy: His design with his goggles on his head, easy-going personality and sea-related techniques are reminiscient of Tsunami.
Foil: He's a cheerful and optimistic guy, while his best friend Hayami is a lot more pessimistic, although the latter eventually gets over it.
Goggles Do Nothing: He wears his goggles just as an accesory, unlike Tsunami, who uses them when he's surfing.
Heterosexual Life-Partners: With Hayami.
Making a Splash: He has water-based hissatsu, such as Naminori Piero, a technique which lets him create a whirlpool that turns into a wave which obscures the opponent's vision.
Meaningful Name: The "kai" in his first name means "sea", fitting his water element and his hobby, which is fishing.
Nice Guy: He's a very friendly and easy-going guy.
Oop North: In the dub he's a (very broad accented) Geordie.
Sleeves Are for Wimps: Rolls up the sleeves on his Raimon uniform.
Verbal Tic: He has a habit of saying "oi" when kicking a ball.
