"He always maintains everyone together until he has a clear area. Good and solid, that's his strategy."

- Mitsuru Tokieda about Kakizaki and Kakizaki Squad

Kakizaki Squad is the B-Rank #13 Squad in Border led by Kuniharu Kakizaki. At the start of the current season, they were ranked 13th.

Description
Kakizaki Squad has a reputation for being overly cautious. Unlike several other teams, they do not have a specific ace. Instead, each member has an equal responsibility in the gathering of points.

History
After leaving Arashiyama Squad, Kakizaki was greeted by Madoka Ui, who was informed by Haruka Ayatsuji that Kakizaki must be seeking to form his own squad following the departure. Two prodigious rookies, Kotarō Tomoe and Fumika Teruya, sought Kakizaki after being impressed by his responses given in a Border press conference on TV a few years prior.

Large-Scale Invasion Arc
Kakizaki Squad is part of the B-Rank team union that faces Lamvanein. They support the other B-Rank squads, as well as Izumi, Yoneya, and Midorikawa. They were the only B-Rank squad to face against Lamvanein and not have any Bail Outs.

B-Rank Wars Arc
Before Round 5, they had lowered to the lower tier, having lost to Suzunari First and Arafune Squad. However, they were able to bounce back after one match and returned to the middle tier. In round 5, they are up against Katori Squad and Tamakoma Second. As the lowest-ranking squad, they have the right to choose the map. They are easily overpowered by Yūma, and their sole point is scored by Teruya who went after Chika.
