Rin seems to have little respect for anyone. He'll only acknowledge you if you possess a notable, annoying skill or if you make an impact on the soccer field. He seems to have no friends, only competitors, and only Isagi and Bachira seem to be on equal footing. For the Japanese national team match, he's clearly more communicative with the team, giving instructions on the field and engaging in conversation, especially with Isagi. With the conclusion of the Neo Egoist League, Rin has finally discovered a player he admires, besides his brother.

Rin is a tall, thin, yet muscular teenage boy. He is noticeably taller than Yoichi Isagi, who is five months older. He has dark green hair with bangs that cross his face more over his right eye than his left, 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 become more defined with age.

In Blue Lock, Rin wears the official uniform (black with grey stripes) and tracksuit. During the Second Selection, he wore the number 1 shirt of the Red Team and, during the Third, the black number 1 shirt of the A Team. Only at the start of the Japan U-20 match does he put on the official blue uniform of Blue Lock, with the number 10 shirt and the captain's armband.

Rin is a first-year high school student who has played as a striker his entire life. He's the younger brother of Sae Itoshi and is emerging as one of the most promising talents in world soccer. His main goal is to become the best striker in the world.

Following the challenges and chaos of the Blue Lock Project, Rin is placed at the top of the program alongside Yoichi Isagi. Following the example of his brother and other talented individuals, Rin received an offer from Re Al following the conclusion of the Neo Egoist League.

Rin is a player who enjoys impeccable football, but doesn't hesitate to take daring and surprising risks to fully embrace the do-or-die attitude he holds so dear. Rin once aspired to be the best in the world alongside his brother, but after a disagreement, he became obsessed with beating him at football to prove he could succeed without him. However, participating in Blue Lock unexpectedly opened up new emotions and concepts for him, leading him to play football for its own sake and to the fullest, undeterred by the chaos and madness of its intensely aggressive style of play.
