Background
Early in life, Ryusuke Higo was an aspiring young soccer player who wanted to play in the J1 League for his dream team Noir Tokyo. He wanted to do this side by side with his older half-brother Rikuo Endo, to whom he was very close despite the fact that he was the result of his father's indiscretion with a mistress; a fact which was withheld from the public at large. Just after they joined the Noir Tokyo team, the two brothers encountered Shinichi Kudo during a soccer match for his middle school team and became impressed enough with his abilities to invite him to join them.[1]
However, two years after they had joined Noir, Rikuo was forcibly evicted from the team because he was merely used as an enticement for the talented Ryusuke and his own soccer skills were below average, making him of no further use for them. Bitterly disappointed, Higo quit Noir and joined their major rival Big Osaka, who had hired Rikuo as a team coach. At first viciously scorned and derided by both the Noir and Osaka fans, he finally scored the winning goal in a decisive match against Noir, catapulting him back to celebrity status.[1] Because of the huge similarity of their respective life stories (betrayed by their "black" team and fleeing from its greedy clutches), Higo has become a role model for Ai Haibara, formerly "Sherry" of the Black Organisation.
