Luigi Yoshida (ルイジ吉田, Yoshida Luigi): Voiced by: Daisuke Ono; Plays Midfield for East Tokyo United. Of half-Japanese and half-Italian descent; known as the "Prince" among ETU teammates because of his ingenious playmaking ability and his often narcissistic attitude.

He missed the later half of the season before Tatsumi's arrival, despite that he was the team's top scorer, and his efforts early in the season helped the team to survive relegation. He did not return to ETU for eight months sidelined by injury, six of those through his injury and an additional two from forcing himself to play for the team despite the injury because, in his own words, he "loves the team too much". Although he often misses the easy shots, he has a knack for flashy goals and is one of ETU's game deciders.
