Minato De La Cruz is a character featured in the Fanon/Canon. He is leader of the Emperor 10, who had vanished without a trace from the volleyball world. He is also dubbed "The Prince of Volleyball" in due fashion to how he focuses his abilites on the court other then off the court. He is the owner of two abilites: both Godspeed, and Cracking Point.

## Appearance

Although only a first year in middle school, Min had already earned notoriety through winning four consecutive titles in the American Junior Volleyball tournaments – all in a little over a year. Due to his nearly invincible volleyball play, Minato has earned the label 'prodigy' by the age of twelve. His good looks and confidence make him highly popular with ladies, although he seems not to notice, having his focus exclusively on Volleyball. Minato, being twelve-years old, is noticeably shorter than his fellow 2nd and 3rd year regulars; although he is at a similar height to all of his fellow 1st year peers and classmates. He has brown eyes (hazel in the anime) and green tinted black hair. His eyes are sharply shaped and big, giving his facial expression the look of a confident, yet childish, person.

Minato’s signature clothing item is his Fila hat (however, in the anime the "F" for Fila is censored and replaced by an "M" for Minato). His shoe brand also belongs to Fila. He is almost never seen without his hat with the exceptions being when he is in his school uniform or sleeping at home, or in a casual fit (unless he wants to take his hat off)

His usual volleyball gear outside of his E10 Regular uniform is a white short sleeved collar shirt with the sleeves being red (along with the top part of his collar having 2 red lines) and black (or a very dark shade of blue) shorts. On occasions, Minato wears a dark-and-light red jacket over his white-red shirt. He is most often seen in his E10 Regular's uniform or his school uniform.

In his return after training in America for two years, Minato is seen wearing the Black Revolutionary Brigade Jersey. Also, after the mountain training, he is always seen wearing a band on his wrist, due to a small injury he received while training in the mountains.

## Personality

Minato has a habit of forgetting people that he finds insignificant or met for a brief moment. The first person he forgets is Misaki ( a somewhat friend from the anime Maid-Sama) which saddens her. A few other people are three idiots he met and his father. He also forgot someone he met just briefly. Whether he does this on purpose is as of yet unknown.

## Abilites

Minato's full abilites are very much unknown, but he has very much dubbed Invincible playing style. He is capable of using Cracking Point and Godspeed at full will, being able to control it. Unlike Takuya Newcastle, he has a variety of abilites that allows him to effectively use it. He is no joke in the Volleyball scene. He is currently just challenging volleyball teams. He can move at lightning speeds comparable to the Yellow Flash Of The Leaf, He can preprogram where the ball is going and how players are moving with just Godspeed alone. Said specifically by the coaches, that they've never seen a player with such abilites in their life: going over the extent of Minato's playstyle being 'beyond that of a volleyball player'. He is typically underestimated for his young age. He was able to beat out Shiratorizawa's Ushijima with little to no difficulty. He can however get cocky, and give the top players mere handicaps.

## Statistics

He is known for breaking numerous records with incredible statistics, being off the charts with mere skill and hard work.
