Goro Shigeno (茂野 吾郎, Shigeno Gorou), born as Goro Honda (本田 吾郎, Honda Gorou) is the main protagonist of the MAJOR series. The franchise is centered on his life story and baseball career from pre-school to adulthood. Character Goro is depicted as the hot-blooded stereotype who is always determined to fulfill goals to the very end. He appears all brawn with no brains, being unable to concentrate on his studies or remembering any of his opponent's names in the past. Yet he is able to learn English through an adaptive pace during his year-long stay in America since his arrival. Goro is also quite dense when it comes to romance and other relationships with women. He shows one sign after meeting Ryoko Kawase the first time but remains unaware of Kaoru's slowly growing affections for him where he later realizes 10 years after their first meeting.

Gorou Honda, a little boy obsessed with baseball, has always admired his father, Shigeharu. Wishing to follow in his father's footsteps, Gorou dreams of becoming a professional baseball player. In turn, his son's starry-eyed admiration encourages Shigeharu to keep persevering, despite his late wife's death and his unsatisfying position on the second-string team Blue Ocean. Unfortunately, an elbow injury forces Shigeharu off the team, and he falls into despair. However, after an offhand joke from his childhood friend, Shigeharu reevaluates his choices and decides to keep playing, leaving behind his prime position as pitcher and taking up the bat. Now motivated more than ever, Gorou works hard to carve his way in the Japanese Little League.
