Shoyo

Shoyo is a wizard and a world-class Beater for the Japanese National Quidditch Team. He is a prominent character within the storyline of the Harry Potter: Magic Awakened video game, where he serves as both a rival and a mentor. Shoyo does not appear in the original seven-book series by J.K. Rowling.

All known information about Shoyo's life and career comes from his appearance in the Harry Potter: Magic Awakened video game (video game). He is introduced as an elite athlete and a celebrated member of the Japanese National Quidditch Team. Within the game's narrative, he encounters the player character's Hogwarts Quidditch team. He serves as a high-level opponent, challenging the player to improve their skills and demonstrating the prowess required to compete at an international level. While initially appearing as a formidable rival, he also provides guidance and displays respect for growing talent.

In Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, Shoyo is depicted as a young man with dark hair, often tied back in a topknot, and sharp, determined features. He has a lean and athletic physique consistent with his status as a professional Quidditch player (video game). His personality is characterized by immense confidence that can border on arrogance, stemming from his exceptional skills as a Beater. Despite this, he possesses a deep respect for the sport of Quidditch and recognizes true talent in others. He is a disciplined and focused individual who values hard work and strategy (video game).

  • Quidditch Prowess: Shoyo's signature skill is his masterful talent as a Beater. He demonstrates extraordinary power, precision, and strategic use of the Bludgers, able to execute complex plays and control the pace of a match (video game).
  • Expert Flying: As a professional player, Shoyo is an expert flier, capable of high-speed, agile maneuvers on a broomstick (video game).
  • Beater's Bat: As a Beater, Shoyo uses a magical bat to direct Bludgers during Quidditch matches (video game).
  • Broomstick: He flies a top-tier racing broomstick suitable for professional-level play (video game).
  • Japanese National Team Robes: He wears the official robes of the Japanese National Quidditch Team (video game).

The name Shoyo is of Japanese origin. It can be written with kanji such as 翔陽. The character 'Shō' (翔) can mean “to soar” or “to fly,” while 'yō' (陽) can mean “sun” or “positive.” The combined meaning, which can be interpreted as “soaring sun,” is highly appropriate for a star Quidditch player.

Shoyo is a character created exclusively for the mobile game Harry Potter: Magic Awakened, which was developed by NetEase under the Portkey Games label from Warner Bros. Games. He is not part of the original canon established by J.K. Rowling's seven novels and does not appear in the film adaptations. His character serves to expand the world of Quidditch within the game, giving players a connection to the international sporting scene and an example of a professional player from a country known in the wizarding world for its skilled team, the Toyohashi Tengu.
