Rin Itoshi

Rin Itoshi is a Project Blue Lock challenger, currently playing the forward position for French team Paris X Gen in the Neo Egoist League.

Rin is Sae Itoshi's younger brother, who started playing soccer with him at a young age. He has played as a striker for every team he's been on and has always been regarded as one of the best players. Rin's main goal is to become the best striker in the world. He used to be obsessed with defeating his brother at soccer and in turn getting revenge for abandoning their shared dream, but after Blue Lock's 11 played against the Japanese U-20 National Team, he put his revenge aside and decided to change so he could become the best striker in the world, defeating anyone in his way and becoming Yoichi Isagi's rival, seeking, in his words, to destroy him.

Rin is a tall teenager with a slim and strong build, being noticeably taller than Yoichi Isagi, who is older than him. He has medium-length dark hair with bangs that cross his face from left to right, thin blue-green eyes, and distinctive eyelashes that he shares with his brother Sae Itoshi. As a child, Rin looks virtually the same, his facial features only becoming more defined as he grows.

In Blue Lock, Rin wears the standard suit (black with blue stripes) and tracksuit. During the Second Selection in the Red Team and the Third Selection in Team A he wore number 1. During the match against the Japanese Under-20 Team he wore number 10 and the captain's armband as he was ranked 1 in Blue Lock. During the Neo Egoísta League he wears the Paris X Gen uniform with number 9.

As a child, Rin was very innocent and in awe of his brother, Sae, and wanted nothing more than to become a cool and strong player like him. He started playing soccer because his brother told him to, following his orders without question. While playing soccer together, Rin listened to what Sae said and adjusted accordingly. When Sae left for Spain, Rin discovered that soccer was more difficult without his brother, but she strived to be like him and replace him. This is where the essence of Rin's playstyle would begin to change from his instinctive style to a more logical style.

Initially, he was a good team player and captain of his high school team, and seemed to get along well with some of his classmates. However, due to his fallout with his brother, he has become cold, blunt, and overly serious. He is totally focused on football, to an almost obsessive degree, and is also very selfish, as he always puts his own goals and motivations before others. Rin has a lot of pride as a forward, which he borders on arrogance, as he frequently describes football and other people's way of thinking as "lukewarm" or "mediocre." These gestures and behaviors came from his brother. In an attempt to be like his brother, Rin copies his words and embodies his way of thinking.

Rin seems to respect almost no one. He will only acknowledge your presence if you have a notable and annoying skill/influence on the football field. It seems that he has no friends, only rivals (only Isagi and Bachira apparently on general terms with him). At the time of the game against the U-20, he is more talkative with the team, giving instructions on the field and talking specifically with Isagi.

Rin commits to an aftercare routine at the end of each day to improve his physique, and can often be found in the training room doing exercises or weights. Despite his arrogance and coldness, Rin truly lives and breathes football, dedicating every waking moment to improving himself. This mentality combined with his personality is what makes him the leading candidate for Blue Lock's supposed best striker. All Rin does is allow him to defeat his older brother and end the rivalry, but after Rin overcomes his revenge against his brother and his rivalry with his teammates, he reaches clarity. in his decisions. He now intends to free himself from everything that binds him and establish his own identity as an egoist, without depending on his brother, companions or rivals.

He says he doesn't cry. His favorite food is ochazuke, especially ochazuke with sea bream. His favorite mangas are Dragon Head and Ciguatera. His favorite animal is the owl. His favorite movie is "The Shining." Her favorite song is Prayer X. He is unfriendly/blunt. He speaks English fluently. He spends his holidays playing horror video games or immersing himself in horror movies. He is not good at calligraphy. If it were his last day on Earth, he would fight his brother. She can't remember how many Valentine's Day chocolates she received last year because she rejected them all. Her morning routine consists of: opening the window to let in fresh air, deep breathing, stretching, morning yoga, meditation, revisiting her feelings of sadness and anger, and finally starting her day.
