In elementary school, Urabe was Ishizaki's rival. He was chosen to be one of Nankatsu SC's player. His cocky attitude made him shout at teammates in an humorous way, pretty much like Ishizaki.
During middle school, Urabe became the Captain of the soccer team of Otomo. He, along with Takeshi Kishida, Masao Nakayama and Koji Nishio, form the "Otomo Quartet". In Captain Tsubasa World Youth, he was part of Nankatsu high school team. He told his teammates that he would stop soccer after graduating, to help his family run their tofu store. However, coach Gamo convinced him to be part of the R.J.7, a training team for All Japan Youth. Playing the role of the bad guy, the hellish training he followed helped him improve, and with the other members of the R.J.7, defeated most of the members of All Japan Youth. The truth was told to everyone after the 1st round of the Asian preliminaries, Urabe's true intentions was to make All Japan Youth stronger. He joined the All Japan Youth team after the serious injury of Misaki. He took part in the final match against Brazil to replace Ishizaki, and would finally keep on playing soccer.
In Road to 2002, Urabe joined Jubilo Iwata with Ishizaki.
