Saji (さじ ), full name Shougo Saji (さじ しょうご ) is a third year student at Shiguma High School that was first featured in Nekketsu High School Dodgeball Club – Soccer Story. He is the former leader of his own biker gang and is the captain of his school's soccer club. Although he's no longer apart of any biker gangs, others are often intimidated by him despite of his kindheartedness because he chose to keep the same hairstyle and outfit.
Saji became the leader of a biker gang out of his passion for motorcycles and not because he wanted to be a gang member.
