Description[]

Wakabayashi first appeared in Captain Tsubasa (1981), chapter 1. He is an extraordinary keeper, recognized as one of the best in the series. Since the beginning of the series, he has been greatly supporting Tsubasa in fulfilling their shared dream of making Japan winning the World Cup.

Similar to Elle Sid Pierre and Mark Owairan, Wakabayashi enjoys football because on the field, everyone is treated as equals, there is no such thing as rich or poor.

History[]

I'm Genzo Wakabayashi! The Birth of the SGGK[]

Genzo Wakabayashi was the third son of a rich family. Spoiled by his father, he usually made absurd demands for his birthdays, such as a private football court with lights to play the night, 100 volumes of world football videos and a school ground exclusively for football. He was serious about using those gifts to fulfill his objectives in football, however, since he genuinely loved the sport. For his 10th birthday, Wakabayashi asked for the best goalkeeper coach in the world as his personal coach. When Wakabayashi learned that the chosen coach, Tatsuo Mikami, was a bronze medalist upon meeting him, he looked down on that achievement, saying that was only third best while he asked for the best coach. But, as Mikami admitted, his abilities were proportional to his attitude, and he indeed felt that Wakabayashi could change Japanese football in the future and that he might become the best goalkeeper in the world. On Wakabayashi's part, despite the way he acted, he also respected Mikami, especially after Mikami told him his thoughts about the goalkeeper position and mentioned the idea of becoming an SGGK.

As Wakabayashi became a regular in Shutetsu, he demanded Mamoru Izawa, Hajime Taki, Teppei Kisugi, Shingo Takasugi and Yuzo Morisaki to use honorifics when addressing him[1] even if they are the same age, since he was a regular and they weren't. However, this was only to motivate them to get better, as he recognized the abilities of them and even admitted that to Mikami. Izawa, Taki, Kisugi and Takasugi were initially angry at Wakabayashi for acting in such a conceited way, but after being told about Wakabayashi's true feelings by Morisaki, as well as getting invited to Wakabayashi's house to train with high schoolers, they realized that Wakabayashi was a good guy at heart.

Thanks to the daily training at Wakabayashi's house, the five 5th graders were promoted to the A-Team, and Izawa, Taki, Kisugi and Takasugi were even chosen as starters for the Shizuoka Prefectural Tournament finals against Shimizu FC. The benched 6th graders weren't happy with the decision however, and one of them accused Wakabayashi's father of using his influence to make the coach do that. Upon hearing that, Wakabayashi grabbed said guy by the collar and harshly scolded him, saying that he wasn't chosen simply because he was not as good, and being rich or poor did not matter in football, since the sport had a lot of things that money could not buy. He then told his four classmates to prove themselves in the match. Shutetsu eventually scored the winning goal thanks to the collective effort of the five of them - Wakabayashi included.

Shutetsu qualified for the 5th Juveniles National Tournament, and eventually became champions. After the finals, Wakabayashi told Mikami that the latter would become the best goalkeeper coach in the world once he wins the World Cup. He also asked his classmates to drop the honorific, as they already became starters, but they kept on using it since they grew accustomed to it.

Kids' Dream[]

Wakabayashi became Shutetsu's captain. He caught Tsubasa Ozora's attention after showing his abilities during the quarrel with Ryo Ishizaki. After receiving the ball that Tsubasa kicked from the hill to his house, they had a short confrontation on the street where Tsubasa repelled Wakabayashi's shot by making the ball go under the bus and into the keeper's arms. They then have a duel, with Shutetsu's B-Team joining Wakabayashi's side. Tsubasa dribbled past the whole B-Team before making a header, which was punched away by Wakabayashi. Then, Roberto Hongo, a former member of Brazil national team return the ball to Tsubasa with a pass. This time, Tsubasa's Diving Header put the ball into the goal. Wakabayashi became angry and did not accept it since it wasn't a real match, and said they will continue their duel in the interschool event.

In the nights following the goal, Mikami would train Genzo relentlessly with middle school and high school students at night to prepare him for the match with Tsubasa. On the day of the match, Wakabayashi and Shutetsu would be startled by the staggering growth Nankatsu's players had made thanks to Roberto Hongo and Tsubasa as the team progressively became more successful in interrupting Shutetsu's offense.

J Boys' Challenge[]

At twelve, he went to Hamburg city in Germany with his trainer Tatsuo Mikami to take his skills to the next level. At Hamburg's training camp, Genzo was relentlessly bullied by the other players, who intentionally fired shots towards his body, sometimes simultaneously. This would not deter Wakabayashi as he would stand up to taunt his bullies before catching all of their shots at once. By chance, this would catch the eye of Hamburger SV Jr. Youth's Karl Heinz Schneider, who took a ball and shot it at Wakabayashi. Wakabayashi would defend Schneider's first shot using his face, and this would pique Karl's interest as he demanded for the ball again and began making goals that Wakabayashi could not keep up with, sparking the pair's friendship and rivalry.

Initially, Genzo's association with Schneider would be looked down upon as bullying intensified with as it was learned that Wakabayashi and Schneider would train against one another. This eventually culminated into a beating by another goalkeeper, Hans, and his friends. Seeing this, Schneider would do nothing, but Wakabayashi was aware of how Schneider as a person, did not hold this against him, but saw it as a challenge instead. The next day, Wakabayashi would take the fight to his bullies, beating them all up single-handedly. Although scolded by both the coach and Mikami, Genzo would become closer to Schneider for his tenacity while the bullying eventually stopped.

Around this time, Mikami would return back to Japan to coach the All Japan Jr. Youth, while Genzo would become a homestay with the Draxler Family, where he would polish and eventually become fluent in speaking German. By the time Mikami returned years later, Genzo had already become Hamburg's primary goalkeeper and was touted as Germany's best goalkeeper in his age group. He would become close with teammates, Schneider, and Hermann Kaltz, the three dreaming of dominating Bundesliga together. Genzo and Karl would continue having their bouts where Karl would try to score outside the penalty area, with their record coming up as 49-50 in Genzo's favor During this time, Genzo would keep Schneider informed of another Japanese player to watch out for, as well as the only other player capable of scoring goals against him outside the penalty area, Tsubasa Ozora.

Wakabayashi would reunite with his old acquaintances from Japan, having now formed the All Japan Jr. Youth, in Germany for training matches in the tour leading to the 1st International Jr. Youth Tournament in France, Genzo immediately warned them that they would never beat Hamburg without Tsubasa in their lineup. Prior to the game, Wakabayashi requested for his team to allow their opponents to shoot to their hearts' content in the first half, as he wished to gauge Japan's progress during his three-year absence. He would also have one more before Schneider's departure to FC Bayern Munich Jr. Youth, where Schneider evened their record at 50-50. Though Hyuga would make a strong introduction by bursting the ball with his Tiger Shot, all subsequent shots by the other players against Hamburg were all stopped by Wakabayashi with minimal effort.

As the crowd was now getting riled up, and with Schneider finally showing his play, Hamburg's entire pace would change as Schneider would earn two quick goals with his Fire Shot with Wakashimazu unable to respond to either. Schneider would quickly complete a Hat-trick against Japan, but the match would be interrupted by the sudden visit of Tsubasa. Despite Wakabayashi stating that Japan did not have a chance without their star player, both Hyuga and Hikaru Matsuyama, still retaining their pride in training without Tsubasa, refused to allow his participation. The match would continue with Wakabayashi catching Hyuga's Tiger Shot, and passing it to Schneider's counter with a Fire Shot from their side of the field. Despite the distance, Wakashimazu is only barely able to catch Schneider's Fire Shot, but Schneider would correctly assess that Wakashimazu was now hurt and would use another attack on Japan's goal before Wakashimazu's right hand finally gave out that forced him to be replaced with Yuzo Morisaki, who was even less able to react to Schneider's attacks with a 5-0 lead for Hamburg.

Acknowledging Hyuga's willpower to continue defying Hamburg despite the deficit, Wakabayashi allowed a free goal from Hyuga. Still, Japan loses 1-5. Afterwards, Wakabayashi would insult Hyuga for being a coward and focusing on only that single goal instead of trying harder in the game as a whole. This statement leads to a brawl between the two that is broken up by the players, but Hyuga would immediately relinquish his title as captain following this complete defeat.

The bruised Wakabayashi would meet up with Mikami, who apologized for making Genzo out as a villain, but Wakabayashi said that Mikami didn't have to be sorry and he was happy that such a move would help push the team even harder now and asked if he could be a member of the Japan Team.

Mikami accepted Wakabayashi's suggestion, which led to conflict with the team members as they were still bitter from Genzo's earlier statements and him being exceptionally critical during training. Although he knew he was antagonizing the team and was intimidating Wakashimazu by threatening his role as the primary goalkeeper, Genzo knew this would be a necessary step to elevate the team. With Tsubasa now an official member of the lineup, Genzo would bring Schneider with him to Tsubasa's first game with the team, as Japan would finally earn their first victory in a dominant 4-0 win against FC Bayern Munich Jr. Youth.

When the starting lineup for Japan would be announced, Genzo would act as Japan's secondary goalkeeper, encouraging Wakashimazu to remain tall against their opponents in Italy, Argentina, and France. Outside of the games, Genzo would also function as Japan's translator with the Germans. Due to Wakashimazu's right-hand injury from the semifinals, Wakabayashi would face Germany Jr. Youth in the finals, successfully stopping Schneider's Fire Shot outside the penalty area, and goals from all other players. Schneider would finally get a goal through Wakabayashi, however, when he hid behind a collision between Hiroshi Jito and Manfred Margus to obscure his shot.

After Japan equalizes the score, the defense would be pierced by both Kaltz and Schneider, but Wakabayashi is able to defend against the Fire Shot by using his face to redirect it towards the upper goal bar instead. In the second half, a fierce battle would occur in Japan's side as Wakabayashi would stop two goals from Schneider, as well as further attempts from Margus, Schester, and Kaltz, the latter successfully baiting Wakabayashi forward before trying to score a goal by shooting it above Genzo, which Genzo could only stop with his cap.

Once Japan breaks the tie at 2-1, the Germans would launch a furious attack at the last 10 minutes, with Kaltz and Schester successfully passing the ball to Schneider, who forces his way past Ryo Ishizaki and avoids Tsubasa's two attempts to retake the ball. Genzo would be too used to Karl's Fire Shots with his right leg and could not react in time when Karl used his left leg to make the goal, tying the game back to 2-2. Both teams, now desperate to finish the game by the second half, would clash at Japan's side of the field, with Wakabayashi using Wakashimazu's Triangle Jump to reach the Fire Shot and using putting his legs on the goal bar for the extra leverage to stop the ball before pulling it away from Schneider's second attempt to score. Tsubasa would finally finish the match by scoring against Muller, giving the Japanese a 3-2 victory against Germany.

Following his win, Genzo would be contacted Hamburg's president and is offered a pro contract as a secondary goalkeeper as the previous member, Budenski, had been called up when the primary keeper had been injured. Though this came with a possibility to be benched the entire season, Genzo accepted the invitation under the condition that he still be treated as Japanese player within the organization, and that he be allowed to represent Japan in national competitions over his role in Hamburg. This proposal was accepted Genzo finally achieved his dream of going pro. During the Bundesliga finals against Munich, Budenski would be injured during the second half, and Genzo would make the critical save against Schneider, preventing Munich from tying the game for overtime.

Captain Tsubasa: World Youth Special: The strongest opponent! Netherlands Youth[]

During Netherlands Youth's tour leading up to the Battle of World Youth, Wakabayashi would unexpectedly be called in to replace an injured Deuter Muller for Germany Youth's match against Holland. Despite reuniting with Schneider, the pair were defeated with a 1-3 loss. Following this, he would come to spectate Japan's game, encouraging Wakashimazu to stay strong and avenge his defeat.

Battle of World Youth[]

In World Youth, both of his arms were injured because of previous encounters with Brian Cruyfford and Stefan Levin. For the World Youth, his arms were getting recovered as the Final Tournament started. However, he still managed to protect All Japan's goal in the Asian Preliminaries of the World Youth, against strong opponents such as Thailand Youth, Saudi Arabia Youth, and China Youth. Due to his injuries, he could play no other game of Asian qualification more, but since Wakashimazu had traveled from Japan and joined the team, the Japanese goal was safe.

He could not dispute the group matches of the World Youth Cup, so he could continue to focus on his recovery under the eyes of his trainer from Germany Hans Kleiman himself, whom Gamo had hired. Gamo set him up for the quarter-final against Sweden Youth, where he was able to settle his previous score with Levin. Japan will move into the semi-final against Netherlands Youth with a golden goal (1:0). There, Genzo settled his score with Cruyford.

In the first half-time, Japan Youth defended their goal successfully, whereupon they were 0:0 until half-time break, but they were exhausted by the continuous offensive attacks of the Brazilians. Genzo could block Carlos Santana's Rolling Overhead Kick and the Skywing Shot. However, in the 14th minute of the 2nd half-time, he was beating by Santana, scoring 1:0 for Brazil. Shortly thereafter, he again holds one of Santana's slippers with both fists, which he again injured himself and was still having medical attention. Even so, he managed to send the ball to Tsubasa to score the tying goal, and then Japan Youth won the upper hand with a 2:1 thanks to Misaki. When the countdown (from 60 seconds) ended, Natureza entered the field, which shortly afterward could switch off Tsubasa and beat him. The decision to win should therefore bring another golden goal in extra time. When Santana and Natureza attacked once more, Genzo was able to block Natureza Volley shoot, and was injured again and finally replaced by Wakashimazu. As a result of his team efforts, Japan Youth won the World Youth Cup with a 3:2 victory against Brazil.

Due to his hand injuries, Genzo was unable to participate in Bundesliga, leading to Schneider's Munich coming out as champions for that year.

Road to 2002 / Golden-23[]

In Road to 2002, Genzo's hands had finally healed, but Schneider would make frequent returns to Munich to convince Wakabayashi to join his side in Munich. To further increase his arm and grip power, Genzo would also take up boxing and frequently practiced boxing and used a grip strengthener. When Genzo refuses owing his debt to Hamburg, Schneider chides his rival for valuing his loyalty over self-improvement, and revealed that both Stefan Levin and Xiao Junguang had to come to his side at Munich, and the pair vowed to remain undefeated for their inevitable match at Bundesliga. This statement, however, only encouraged Genzo to stay with Hamburg in order to face Schneider and his powerful new allies head-on.

True to this fashion, Genzo would not allow a single goal to get past him throughout Bundesliga, stopping Bremen despite Schester now acquiring Ramon Victorino to his side, and VfB Stuttgart's Muller to a standstill. During the fated game against Schneider, Genzo would get his team an early lead, stopping Schneider's goal and making a long pass for Kaltz to score his own goal at Munich's side of the field instead. Genzo would then catch every goal Munich had to throw at him. In response, Munich would choose to disorientate Genzo and Hamburg's defenders by pulling multi-layered passes and feints throughout the second half, keeping Wakabayashi from consistently catching the ball as he had in the first half. The series of passes would eventually lead to Kaltz abandoning his mark on Schneider to try and cut Xiao's goal, only for Xiao to pass to Schneider, who would score against Wakabayashi from behind.

Seeing as they could not stage an offense, Seemann pulled Hamburg's remaining forwards, having two additional markers to Levin and Xiao, Kaltz to mark Schneider, and Genzo to catch any stragglers to go for a tie. Though this went against Genzo and Kaltz's desire to attain victory no matter the cost, Schneider's remarks of their defeatist playstyle causes Kaltz to finally kick his former teammate, earning a red card and being removed from the game. With Kaltz gone, Genzo rallies his teammates to attack Munich's goal, which eventually leads a collision that gives Hamburg a PK. Genzo would unexpectedly emerge from the goal post with a top spin shoot, but Xiao is able to convert the ball into a long pass from behind the goalie. Genzo would not be able to return back to his post to stop Schneider's long shoot.

Following this sudden deviation from strategy, Genzo would enter a conflict with Seemann. Though Genzo would still be able to play and win in the rematch against 1.FC Koln, Seemann intentionally all of Hamburg's foreign player positions for others while Genzo was benched indefinitely for the season. With nothing to do, Genzo requested for a transfer, but this was denied as a new proposal would come from Kozo Kira, who requested for Genzo to play with them. As a result, while Genzo was still officially a member of Hamburg, he would be able to join Japan for its Asian preliminaries for the Madrid Olympics tournament

Thus, in Golden-23 arc, he joined U-22 Japan. He perfectly defended Japan's goal in the beginning of the Asian preliminaries, giving a feeling of safety to the team. During the game with Australia, however, Genzo's face would collide with the goal post after saving a ball from two of Australia's players. This injury would result in him missing out the rest of the preliminary matches.

Rising Sun[]

In Rising Sun, his eye was healed, and he defended the goal throughout the group stages of the Madrid Olympics suffering only one goal against the Netherlands and being deceived twice by Juan Diaz of Argentina. Wakabayashi would close the groups, however, with a spotless performance against Nigeria. Following a tie between Germany and Brazil, Wakabayashi would again face the Germans, now at the quarterfinals of the Olympics.

Sharing the same hotel as the German team, Schneider would once again request for Wakabayashi to join him at Munich, promising to reel him in if Germany were to defeat Japan. Wakabayashi, would once again decline, intending to leave Germany to either learn a new style of defense elsewhere or to face Tsubasa directly at Spain. To follow-up Schneider's promise, however, Wakabayashi would wager that if Germany lost, Schneider would have to do the PAPP dance naked.

In the first half, Wakabayashi would prove to be a resolute wall, successfully stopping all of Schneider's Fire Shots regardless of distance, angle, or position. Even when Germany made a strong counterattack in the second half when Japan made two successful goals, Wakabayashi would stand tall to deny Schneider a goal. With a quick counter likely to be rebuffed again, Kaltz instructed the team to instead build an attack from their side of the field, having Schweil Teigerbran launch a Raiju Shot which would unexpectedly have its course changed by Schester. Wakabayashi only barely responded, pushing the ball into the goal post. Unfortunately, the ball would bounce behind him and towards Schneider, and the pair battled for the ball. Wakabayashi would grab the ball first, but Schneider was unable to stop his attack, accidentally slicing through Wakabayashi's back with his right foot and almost knocking him out with a left knee to the face. Before being stretchered out, Misugi would assure Wakabayashi that he had still pulled a miraculous save against Schneider.

Wakabayashi's condition fortunately stabilized following a blood transfusion from both Mikami and the Draxler family, and he would end up sharing his hospital room with Kaltz, who had broken a few ribs after using his body to block Japan's deadly High Speed Tornado Sky Alpha. The pair would also learn that the game concluded in an intense 7-5 victory for Japan as additional time from their combined absence, alongside Germany tying the score to get extra time, made the game fiercer. Schneider would remain true to their side of the deal by sending Kaltz and Genzo a video of himself dancing naked before visiting the pair himself. Schneider would exchange Kaltz and Tsubasa's jerseys as well as his own and Genzo's before declaring that he would return back to Germany immediately to start training for the next showdown with Tsubasa. Genzo would respond that he would now accept Schneider's invitation to Bayern Munich to win the Bundesliga and face Tsubasa's Barcelona at the Champions league.

Personality[]

Charismatic and personal, Genzo is highly dedicated to those he holds close to him and stays firm to his decisions. He is fairly private when it comes to his own emotions, only sharing them with people he trusts highly. Genzo is one of the more mature characters throughout the series, but isn't always entirely logical or practical, having gotten into fights a few times. He treasures those he holds close and cares for, wanting the best for them, going as far as to ruin his relationship with the members of All Japan Junior Youth team, all of whom he'd known since elementary school, by provoking them just so they could get stronger and strive to beat him and the Germany Junior Youth team (this lead to his short fistfight with Kojiro Hyuga during the Japan vs. Germany match in the J Boys' Challenge arc). Genzo only told Tsubasa about his true intentions, showing how much he trusts him.

When he first appears at around ten years of age, Genzo is cocky and selfish - something he had gained as a byproduct of his impressive ability as a goalkeeper even when going against others in senior high school. He has striven toward being the world's best goalkeeper ever since he was very young, and his dedication toward this goal is apparent throughout the rest of the series. Even if he was self-centered, though, Genzo was one to stay true to his word - he was defeated by Tsubasa when they first officially met and left the field they were fighting over to Nankatsu, as promised, and went to the Shutetsu vs. Nankatsu game specifically to play against him and put their duel to an end. Genzo finally opens his eyes and realizes there's much more to focus on during a match than just one person and not to underestimate a team, losing his cocky nature in favor of someone more humble, though for the most part, he remains the same throughout the series.

In other media[]

In 1983 anime series Genzo was appointed in U-13 Japan for the U-13 International Tournament in Europe. He wears the number 1. This tournament occurs in a fever dream of Tsubasa shortly before the 16th National middle school finals against Toho, where he faced Steve and Schneider (1983 anime), famous for his "Telepathy saving" technique, and is mentioned only in the anime.

In film[]

• Europa Daikessen: Genzo was U-13 Japan the main keeper and used the #1 jersey, but still he only played for the second half time of the game against All Japan Jr. Youth in order to stop all shots from the German ace striker Schneider by using his parrying shot stops, and his Sixth Sense abilities.
• Ayaushi! Zen Nippon Jr.: After the first refusal from the JFA to be part of U-14 Japan, in the final minutes of the 2nd half-time, the executives allow him to be the final keeper, after Wakashimazu and Morisaki's defeat against Schneider.
• Sekai Daikessen!! Jr. World Cup: He is the official keeper of Japan Jr. for the Junior World Cup tournament.
• Saikyo no Teki! Netherlands Youth: It was mentioned that he, as the main goalkeeper of Hamburger SV, played against Brian Cruyfford in the Netherlands Youth campaign in Germany and lost, being injured from one of his hands in the process. He soon travels to Japan to cheer for his team, specially Wakashimazu at the third and final match against the Dutch team.
