Rin is a tall teenage boy 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 crossing his face from left to right, slender blue-green eyes, and distinctive lower 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 older.

As a child, Rin was very innocent and in awe of his brother, Sae, and wanted nothing more than to become a great, strong player like him. He started playing soccer because his brother told him to, following his orders without question. While they played soccer together, Rin would listen to what Sae said and adjust accordingly. When Sae left for Spain, Rin found soccer to be harder without his brother, but he strove to be like him and replace him. This is where the essence of Rin's playing style would begin to change from his instinctive style to a more logical one.

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, direct, and overly serious. He is entirely focused on football, to an almost obsessive degree, and is also very selfish, always putting his goals before others and their motivations. Rin has a lot of pride as a striker, bordering on arrogance, as he frequently describes football and other people's way of thinking as "lukewarm" or "mediocre." These mannerisms and behaviors originated 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'll only acknowledge your presence if you have a notable and annoying ability/influence on the soccer field. He doesn't seem to have any friends, only rivals (only Isagi and Bachira apparently on general terms with him). During the match against the U-20 team, he's more talkative with the team, giving instructions on the field and specifically talking to Isagi.

Rin commits to an aftercare routine at the end of each day to improve his physique, and is often found in the training room working out or lifting weights. Despite his arrogance and coldness, Rin truly lives and breathes football.

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.
