This collection has 22 free Captain Tsubasa coloring pages, built around the whole soccer-anime cast rather than a single character. Five pages follow goalkeeper Genzo Wakabayashi — easy to spot by the cap stamped with a bold “W” — catching, blocking, or gearing up in his Nankatsu colors. Another five are pure mid-match energy: full-body shots of a player shooting, dribbling, or leaping with the ball, jersey number 10 visible on two of them. The remaining twelve cover the wider cast: Toho ace Kojiro Hyuga clenching his fists in front of a jagged geometric backdrop, teammate Taro Misaki pointing to his own jersey under a bold “MISAKI” banner, rival-school players from Meiwa and other teams, a four-player team huddle, a solo female character, and a couple of quieter off-pitch moments — including one page where a smiling player wears a flower crown while catching a throw-in, a softer beat than the rest of the set but still built around the same soccer ball and team colors. Every page is black and white on US Letter, downloads as a free PDF, and needs no signup.
Across the pages that include a soccer ball — eight of the twenty-two — the panel design is never simplified into a plain circle. Each one draws the ball’s pentagon-and-hexagon leather panels individually, down to the stitching lines between panels, whether the ball is mid-air, gripped inside a goalkeeper’s glove, or held at shoulder height. None of the eight ball close-ups leave a panel blank, so a two-tone approach — one shade for the pentagon panels, a lighter one for the hexagons — reads far closer to a real leather soccer ball than a single flat color would.
What’s in this collection
Five pages follow goalkeeper Genzo Wakabayashi, five capture mid-match action with the ball in play, and the other twelve cover rivals, teammates, and quieter off-pitch moments — 22 in total, in the grid below. Each has its own Download PDF and Print button, so you can take one page instead of the whole set.
Genzo Wakabayashi, the Nankatsu goalkeeper
Five pages follow goalkeeper Genzo Wakabayashi, and three of the five put him in the cap stamped with a bold block “W” that marks him throughout the set. One page is a full save: gloved hands wrapped tight around the ball mid-catch, mouth open mid-shout, with “01: WAKABAYASHI” lettered across the top like an official character card. A second repeats the same catching pose without the cap, gloves marked with a star and the number “1”. The other three are quieter, off-the-pitch pages: Wakabayashi walking with a backpack slung over one shoulder and his cap pulled low, standing with his arms crossed in his striped Nankatsu jersey, and tipping his cap with one hand while standing beside a young woman holding the ball in her own goalkeeper gloves.
Mid-match action: shooting, dribbling, and jumping
Five pages capture full-body match action instead of a posed portrait. Two show the number 10 jersey — once on a player winding up a shot with flame-style patterns down the sleeve and shorts, once on a player dribbling low with a star crest on the chest and the ball at his fist. A third is a tight close-up on a shouting face and clenched fist mid-collision, cropped so close that only the jaw, eye, and jersey collar fit the page. The last two are jump shots: one player caught mid-air with a fist swinging back and a cleat pointed toward the ball below, and another leaping with one arm raised and diagonal stripes running down both sleeves.
Rivals, teammates, and quieter moments
The remaining twelve pages are the supporting cast around Tsubasa rather than the captain himself. Toho ace Kojiro Hyuga appears in his “東邦” jersey with both fists clenched together in front of a jagged, crystal-like geometric backdrop. A muscular rival in a “明和” (Meiwa) tank-top jersey stands with one fist raised, and a different player in a numbered jersey with a shield crest bearing a cross fills a tight bust portrait, a banner with lettering cut off at the top edge of the page behind him. Teammate Taro Misaki gets his own page, a bold “MISAKI” banner across the top while he points to his own jersey with a grin. Two Nankatsu teammates stand arm-in-arm in matching striped jerseys on one page, and two players in “K” jerseys pose together in front of a goal net on another, one mid-kick. A four-player team huddle shows jersey numbers 19 and 11 under a banner with stylized lettering, and a separate page overlaps two close-up faces in striped, rose-crested jerseys with a “10” visible on one collar. A three-panel collage stacks three more character close-ups, one in a jersey numbered “1D”. A solo female character gets a windswept, close-up portrait with a small collar pendant. The softest page in the set shows a smiling player wearing a flower crown while catching a thrown ball overhead — a quieter, off-pitch beat, but still built around the same ball and jersey style as the rest of the collection.
How to print these
Every page is US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), pure black and white, with the drawing inside the printable margin. Plain copy paper works fine for the goalkeeper pages and the bust-style portraits; the pages with dense jersey stripe shading or a busy background — like the jagged panels behind Hyuga or the four-player huddle — hold up better on heavier paper if you’re using a fine-tip pen instead of a crayon.
FAQ
Is every page here Tsubasa Ozora himself?
No. Only a few of the 22 pages show the title character in his number 10 jersey. The set also includes goalkeeper Genzo Wakabayashi (5 pages), rivals like Kojiro Hyuga in his Toho jersey and an unnamed Meiwa player, teammate Taro Misaki, a four-player team huddle, and one solo female character — the wider cast that appears throughout the anime, not just the captain.
How many pages show goalkeeper Wakabayashi specifically?
Five. Look for the cap stamped with a bold “W” — he wears it in three of the five pages, plus one page labeled “01: WAKABAYASHI” directly on the artwork and one full-glove save shown without the cap.
Which pages are easiest for a young child to color?
The bust-style portraits — Misaki, the Meiwa rival, the Toho rival, and the solo female character — use fewer small details than the full-body action shots, so they’re the fastest for a first attempt with fat crayons.
Can I download all 22 as one file?
Not as a single file. Each page has its own Download PDF button in the grid, which keeps the files small and lets you build your own selection.
