Story

A space kicker's job is to keep a ball afloat as they float in space. One such kicker wrote An Essay on Keepy-Upsy regarding their first experience of being launched into space, which they thought to be weird at first, but got used to later. They mention their appreciation for their teammates as well, and that they're proud of being born a space kicker, thanking their mom in return.

In Remix 6, the Space Kickers appear green, wearing afros similar to the ones The Clappy Trio wear. In Space Soccer 2, they appear orange, wearing cowboy hats and bandanas, standing on wooden horses. In Remix 9, they appear lime-green with an antenna on their heads.

A space kicker can be seen in the audience in Battle of the Bands. A pair of space kickers can also be seen dancing at a club in Rhythm Tengoku Gold Comic 09 にぎやかでおだやかな夜の巻き (A lively and peaceful night by Maki).
