On X (Twitter), you can pretend to be serious and write briefly. I'll write more here😅 (well, X just doesn't have enough count characters, y'know)
In my artwork, everything was drawn from scratch.
✨️1) For the background, I used the rules of perspective and drew out every detail
✨️2) For Keshin, I used color schemes to make him look more like Keshin from the anime
✨️3) I followed the "Rule of thirds" composition
✨️4) Finally, I added color harmony: green, blue, orange
✨️5) The composition, with the football field line moving upward from left to right, emphasizes Keshin's loftiness. Ichino is very small and shifted as far to the left as possible to show how small and insecure he is in front of the larger, stronger Keshin. And on the right, Ichino's true emotions are depicted.
"Almost everyone uses Keshin in the Holy Road. We don't belong there," Ichino said in s2ep31
In my imagination/headcanon, Ichino never wanted Keshin.
Ichino simply wanted to become stronger and shed the stamp of "being a reserve player".
So that "no one would underestimate him anymore" (s3ep18)
I promised👉👈 to post my version Ichino's Keshin on this post

This post came to be thanks to you!
Before I show the my new art~ let me share some arts I drew a month or two ago.
So, here is the story of the little she-cat💓
I wrote a fanfiction, which I’ll be posting on AO3 soon, along with an announcement-post, where I completely changed the turn of events from the movie ( https://inazuma-eleven.fandom.com/wiki/Inazuma_Eleven_GO_the_Movie:_The_Ultimate_Bonds_Gryphon )
Specifically, Endou and his teammates didn't make it in time to pick up the Raimon's players, so Fifth Sector successfully took them to "God Eden" for training~~
Almost two weeks later (within the story's timeline in my fanfiction), Raimon has escaped and is living in the jungle (just like in the movie's canon)
One day, Ichino and Akane are out walking in the jungle together
(Yeah, yeah, where Shuu lives with his tribe)
They stumble upon a stray, one-month-old kitten of indeterminate breed
(I don't want to give a major spoiler, but believe me, there is a logic to it. The cat just happened to be passing through – if I had to explain it without giving away a huge spoiler!)
However, Akane notices features in the kitten that resemble Ichino: blue eyes and gray fur
Together, Ichino and Akane rescue the kitten and care for it throughout the rest of the story in my fanfiction and future in my headcanons. Akane becomes her owner. Akane cuts a small ribbon from her own blue bow to serve as a makeshift jungle collar and names the kitten "Nana" – which is Ichino's name.
Ichino is incredibly flustered, thinking Akane is joking, just paying him a compliment, or that it’s merely a coincidence after all, "Nana" isn't exactly a rare name.
But Akane gently explains to her blushing boyfriend:
"The kitten looks just like you, so now the two of you will have similar names!"
As the cat grew up, it turned out she was a Ragdoll (https://cfa.org/breed/ragdoll/) with a curious, temperamental personality.
Yet, Nana seems to understand that Ichino is dear to Akane, so she doesn't turn up her nose at him in haughty disdain
Kinzan put even more obstacles in Raimon's way than Fuyukai did.
But look how this villain Kinzan cares for his cat!🥺🥺🥺
Look how well-groomed she is and how lovely she is petted. At least there is some good in this monster Kinzan!
What a beautiful cat🥰
I came up with this art-meme and I'm posting it while the "orange iPhone" meme is still actual.
The cat isn't in pain, she's just confused by what a cringe her owner is?
I thought of this backstory:
Firstly, these two moral monsters of Raimon School tell coach Kudou (wow what a man😍), with a straight face, "Your work so bad, you don't obey Fifth Sector."
("What a hell..." Kudou in his thoughts)
Then, as soon as the door closes behind Kudou
The legendary fucking villains Kinzan and Fuyukai immediately change their act – Taking a mirror selfie with a cat on a fancy iPhone! Is it fashionable to take pictures with a cat? Is it always a classic?
But I definitely didn't draw many full art for them.
I'm very grateful to everyone who supported me. I want to support you too and make you happy!🥰 Thanks to you, I decided to make current post!
Today I'll share you some my old sketches that I've compiled into a this collage...
I think we'll get a little closer, and my search for style and coloring can be interesting
And of course, we'll be able to see some of my successes and failures (fail#1)
Sorry that the sketches don't go together so well... (fail#2)
✨️ Aoyama has become the center of my little universe in this collage! (As you can see, I'm looking for a way to draw Aoyama's hairstyle more beautifully than in canon)
✨️ Yeah, Minamisawa is actually here in Fifth Sector uniform, you're not mistake...
✨️ Allright, Ichino is here too, in love...🥺
✨️ Kariya, hi! How are you? What's up, our favorite liar? Are you making up another story about how your day went?
✨️ I mentioned Kurama for a reason in my previous post... I adore his personality, not only appearance.
✨️ Hikaru, Kageyama Reiji's successor, is such a cinnamon bun🥰
✨️And of course, a bonus – a Akane's cat from my fanon!
Those who are particularly observant might have noticed: Best friend pairs! Hikaru x Kariya. Minamisawa x Kurama, Ichino x Aoyama...
I think I'll post some sketches in full version later. So let's keep the suspense going: What'll the full art look like?
I hope my collage inspires you to think that before you can create something cool, you first have to draw something crooked!💪
2) This is not about fanaticism or a request to rethink the character
3) These are my first humble thoughts, supported by facts, because I am very worried
Thank you for reading this💓
I selected beautiful screenshots and tried to back up my arguments with wiki articles! 👉👈
Thank you all!💓
During drawing, I still sometimes look at Ichino-kun in canon, so as not to go completely OOC.
And I have so, so and so many questions:
Why does Ichino Nanasuke have such an appearance, vibe and poses in the anime, game, openings, endings, as if he's an "average-anime-crush"?! (So normal form/hairstyle of short hair, like Handa💞 from season 1, Shuu💞, Kurama💞, etc. not only Ichino)
Here are, for example, a couple of poses from the openings
At the last one, I didn't expect that Shindou was passing the soccer ball to Ichino the whole time…
Then why did this cinnamon bun remain secondary?
Why was his team destroyed in episode 1?
Scriptwriters, why?!
Ichino was disgraced by losing to Tsurugi-kun on the field in front of the entire Raimon School?
And that's all where Ichino's story ends?...
(Why? 3 episodes: in the first, Ichino gets completely crushed, and in the third, Ichino listens as each player leaves Second Team?)
And what's surprising is that Aoyama said to Ichino:
"Are you planning on staying on a team that no exists now?"
"Dude, yes, of course!" - the impulsive teenager Ichino would have said, had he not been blacklisted by the scriptwriters.
I think if Ichino hadn't been a supporting character, he wouldn't have left the club and joined the Main Team ('cause everything points to that).
I'm more than confident, in this outcome and consider it practically a headcanon, not my own "imagination".
(I can't imagine how Nanasuke internally carries the guilt for the destroyed Raimon Second Team and the shame, the weakness he showed in front of the entire Raimon School.
A monument should be made for such resilience.
Although, the scriptwriters didn't want to expand on Ichino's arc and left him secondary).
Why doesn't such a handsome boy get love letters from girls and guys (gay) at school?
Hairstyle and a really interesting idea with the red streaks (I’d like to think it’s his way of rebelling as a teenager)
Athletic body (Rensuke-kun is certainly better~, but Nanasuke-kun is no slouch either~~)
Tall (he really is tall, I thought he was short)
Blue eyes
Intelligence
Calm
He also knows how to cook and loves doing it, take a look. ( https://inazuma-eleven.fandom.com/wiki/Seishun_Oden_(Chrono_Stone), https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/inazuma-eleven/images/0/06/IG-P4-020.png/revision/latest?cb=20250324102939 )
I won't even mention that in the official art, Ichino Nanasuke so athletic, it's as if he's not a reserve player who sat on the bench until episode 44.
(Why didn't the coaches put him in the start line? He wasn't injured, he's absolute not weak, he have "strategy sense" https://inazuma-eleven.fandom.com/wiki/Ichino_Nanasuke ).
Ichino, after literally sitting out the entire "Holy Road", learns the technique "Britannia Cross" (from Teikoku! https://inazuma-eleven.fandom.com/wiki/Britannia_Cross ), which instantly destroys an opponent's Keshin.
Dear scriptwriters, how did a reserve weak football player who had never played a single match in "Holy Road" manage to learn the Teikoku technique and defeat Keshin?...
I don't understand this abusive relationship between the scriptwriters and Ichino Nanasuke.
Despite all his failures, he is number 13!
I have so many questions about the canon.
I thought I'd given him a teenage vibe:
A multifaceted character, he can be gloomy, sarcastic, cheerful, stupid, kind, sad, and silly.
Look at Ichino in canon and draw a spinning loading wheel.
You'll laugh, but it suits him perfectly.
But nope (so I wasn't wrong about Ichino having a teenage vibe), the canon doesn't understand who he is either?!
Or here’s something else, straight from the scriptwriters, who seem to either dislike Ichino or just enjoy adding such interesting details for him:
2:47 - 3:01 (3:05 even Tsurugi was stunned by how Ichino managed to make his "bones breaking" like that!)
