Title: Under the Helmet
Storyline Premise:
When 21-year-old Asia Miyazaki, her older brother Kenji (23), and their adoptive father David relocate from China back to Japan, it's not just a move-it's a return to family. Reuniting with their other adoptive father, Ryan, and youngest sibling, six-year-old Harley, the transition marks a fresh chapter in their lives. With Ryan serving as the head football coach at the local high school, it's only natural for Asia and Kenji-who have played football since childhood under Ryan's guidance-to join the team.
Standing at 6'2", with striking reddish-brown hair, dark green eyes, and a fierce presence on and off the field, Asia is no ordinary athlete. Between her commanding athleticism and symbolic tattoos-a dragon clutching a football, and a spider crushed by the weight of the world-Asia represents strength, resilience, and an unwavering spirit. She and Kenji are determined to make an impact on the team, both as siblings and seasoned players.
Next door, 19-year-old Violet lives a quieter life, but no less important. With soft blue eyes, golden hair cascading down her back, and a constellation of freckles across her skin, Violet is intelligent, gentle, and a meticulous organizer. She serves as the football team's manager and secretary-responsible for scheduling, game statistics, and team logistics. Alongside her older brother Daniel, a dedicated player on the team, Violet helps run the family-owned bakery-diner that has become a staple in the neighborhood.
As autumn deepens and the football season unfolds, tensions rise, bonds are tested, and hidden truths begin to surface-on the field and off. Under the helmet, it's not just about the game. It's about identity, loyalty, healing, and the courage to step into the unknown. For Asia and Violet, whose worlds are about to intertwine in ways neither expected, the season will redefine what it means to fight-for love, for family, and for yourself.
