Shun is a teenage boy of average height and a lean build. He has straight black hair is usually seen wearing his glasses, though when he plays on the field he switches to contacts.

Shun is a very supportive person, shown by his encouragement for his younger brother, Ashito, in pursuing his dreams of playing in a J-League club and pushing him to take the first step. He is also a very responsible individual, putting others wants and needs over his, like when he chose to help out and take over the family store rather than continue to play football. Shun is also shown to be rather determined when he truly decides to do something and put his mind to it, pushing himself to his limit on the pitch even when he is in pain. At first it seems he lacks confidence and has anxiety regarding playing again, stemming from his childhood where he had to give up football due to his severe asthma, but despite this he pushes forward and doesn't give up, willingly striving forward towards his goals.
