Tsubasa Oozora is known as the Soccer no Moshigo which translates as "heaven-sent child of soccer". At the beginning of the series, Tsubasa, a lonely but not embittered boy obsessed with soccer, is an elementary school student who has just moved to the city of Nankatsu with his mother. As revealed by his mother, Tsubasa was saved by his football in a truck accident when he was barely able to walk, Tsubasa had held the football in front of him which served as a cushion for most of the impact. The force of the bump blew him away, but he was able to right himself over again with the ball. Hence, Tsubasa Oozora's motto of "The ball is my friend". Because his former school did not have a football team, the Oozora family thus decided to move to Nankatsu, in order for Tsubasa to join Shutetsu elementaty school, which was the national soccer champion.

Immediately upon arrival, he sets out to explore the new city, and arrives at the local soccer field where the players of Nankatsu elementary school, led by "Ryo Ishizaki", quarrel with those of Shutetsu elementary school over who gets to use the field. Impressed with Shutetsu's genius goalkeeper "Genzo Wakabayashi", Tsubasa resolves to challenge him to a duel. This is the beginning of a lifetime friendship and rivalry between the two of them.

The duel is observed by "Roberto Hongo", a former member of the Brazil national football team and a friend of Tsubasa's father's, who becomes his mentor. Joining Nankatsu school's soccer team, Tsubasa meets "Taro Misaki" with whom he forms such a perfect combination that the two of them come to be called "The Golden Duo", and chief supporter "Sanae Nakasawa" who soon develops a crush on him.

Chosen for the city's team in the National championship, Tsubasa and his friends face strong rivals such as "Kojiro Hyuga", who will remain one of Tsubasa's strongest rivals in Japan, "Ken Wakashimazu", "Jun Misugi" and "Hikaru Matsuyama". Nankatsu triumphs in this championship and the three following in middle school. Tsubasa and many of his friends and rivals are also part of the team that wins the U-16 World Championships for Japan before Tsubasa, following his dream to become a pro in Brazil, leaves Japan, but he keeps coming back for the National team.

He later marries "Sanae Nakazawa" and moves to Barcelona with her when he joins FC Barcelona (FC Catalunya in the anime).

Family

Tsubasa's father, Koudai Oozora, works as a marine captain and is at sea most of the time, so he was brought up by his mother, Natsuko. However, he has a much younger brother, Daichi (who was seemingly born after he left Japan) This also explains his strong attachment to Roberto Hongo, whom he sees as an idol and most likely as a sort-of secondary father figure.

After the WYC, Tsubasa later marries his long time girlfriend and Nankatsu's team manager, Sanae Nakazawa, who is currently pregnant.

In the "Millennium Dream" (a special concerning the Olympic Games which is supposedly something Sanae dreamt), the Oozora-Nakasawa couple have two boys: Hayate and Daibu.
