Karl-Heinz Schneider is the number 11 and captain of youth Germany. He is one of Wakabayashi Genzou's greatest rivals since the time of Grunwald (Captain Tsubasa Road to 2002) and is nicknamed "The Kaiser" because he managed to dominate the offensive front with immense ease. His shot is also called Fire Shot. However, his characters change role in each series. In the first series (Captain Tsubasa) is a simple appearance and appears only in a few episodes. In the OVA (Shin Captain Tsubasa), however, is one of the protagonists. In the two successive series it has always a marginal role, but especially in the last series (Road to 2002), the character is very well characterized, succeeding in highlighting whoever it is around him, for example Hermann Kaltz and Wakabayashi Genzou.
