Jito was originally someone who liked to fight hand to hand, and was more fired up against strong opponents. Eventually bored by a lack of worthy opponents, his friend Sano showed him Tsubasa, the number 1 soccer player in Japan, which made him take the decision of joining his school's soccer club. In his first duel against Tsubasa, he proved to be a terrifying rival thanks to his impressive size and his power; although he lost, he felt refreshed and decided to keep on playing soccer.
