Asahi Shiina (椎名 旭 Shīna Asahi) is one of the main characters in the movie High☆Speed！－Free!

Appearance

Asahi is a slightly taller than average young man with a toned figure, messy red hair and pinkish eyes.

Personality

Asahi possesses a bright personality and a vibrant spirit. He is articulate and energetic in both words and actions, always ready to push his luck, a fact that often makes him quite comical. In Free! Starting Days, he is determined to recruit Makoto and Haruka into the middle school swimming club after learning that they used to be part of their community's swimming club while in elementary school. He is also the one who finally convinces Ikuya to join despite his negativity. He enjoys competition and works hard to achieve success. When facing challenges in sport, Asahi repeats saying "I am a genius" out loud to himself as motivation. This continues into university where Ikuya teases him about it.

History

Asahi always wanted to become the captain of the swimming club. He has an older sister who appears in the movie and has the same hair color as him. She seems to enjoy teasing him but is still shown to be supportive of his swimming when she comes to cheer for him at the relay event. In Free!-Timeless Medley - Yakusoku, it is shown that he is the captain of Kazami High School's Swim Club.

• His motif animal is a ribbon seal.^[2]
