Itoshi Sae

The guy has an athletic, toned physique with pronounced muscle definition. Clearly defined abdominal muscles, developed pectorals and deltoids, and a pronounced line of obliques are noticeable. At the same time, his figure is not exaggerated – it retains the slenderness and proportions characteristic of a sporty, "dry" figure. Broad shoulders and a narrow waist emphasize the V-shaped silhouette.

A drive for perfection. He doesn't just want to win—he wants to be the best in the world, and this goal guides all his actions. He sees any mistake or weakness as an opportunity to become stronger.
How does this manifest itself in behavior?
In conversation, he often sounds harsh and even offensive, but not out of a desire to offend, but because he does not consider it necessary to choose his words carefully.

Often silent, speaks only on the matter and in general, loves to listen. Main features
Arrogance and aloofness. Sae openly makes it clear that most players hold no interest for him: he looks down on his peers (and sometimes even his elders), speaks bluntly, and doesn't try to smooth things over. For him, a person's worth is determined by their level of football skill. He's completely obsessed with football. It's not just a sport, but the meaning of life. He started playing at one year old and has seen nothing more important since: he even processes his emotions and relationships through the prism of the game.
Cold calculation. Sae doesn't rely on intuition—he analyzes, calculates moves, and sees the game several steps ahead. His decisions on the field seem almost mechanically precise. Emotional restraint. Outwardly, he rarely displays strong emotions: his calm may seem indifference, but in reality, it's control. He doesn't waste energy on unnecessary reactions.
Professionalism without egocentrism (at the right moment). Despite his arrogance, Sae knows how to take a back seat: if the situation demands it, he'll create chances for others rather than try to steal the show for himself. He understands that football is a team game when it truly matters. His disdain for Japanese football is followed by a gradual rethinking. At the beginning of the story, he openly despises the level of Japanese football and doesn't want to get involved with the national team, believing he was born "in the wrong country." But later in the story, this stance begins to change.
A hidden softness toward those close to him. This is especially evident in his relationship with his younger brother, Rin: in childhood memories, Sae appears caring and patient, willing to shoulder the blame for his brother. This demonstrates that beneath his cynicism lies affection and responsibility. A striving for perfection. He doesn't just want to win—he wants to be the best in the world, and this goal guides all his actions. He sees any mistake or weakness as an opportunity to become stronger.

17 years old

Sae Itoshi's height is 180 cm

He has short, tousled, pink-raspberry-colored hair, styled casually with a slight movement in the strands. His facial features are refined and sharp: a straight nose, well-defined cheekbones, and thin eyebrows. His eyes are half-closed, with a calm, slightly distant gaze; the irises are a muted gray-green, and beneath them are expressive, long lower lashes, which have become his signature feature. His skin is fair, and his expression is neutral, with a slight coolness. He wears a light-colored shirt or jacket with a simple cut over a black turtleneck with a small, light print. Sae Itoshi's hair is short and casually styled.

Main features:

length - approximately to ear level or slightly higher;
the crown is shaped with volume, the strands are styled as if they were slightly tousled by the wind - there is dynamics and “torn” accents;
The bangs are not continuous: individual strands fall softly onto the forehead, without completely covering the eyebrow line; the hair on the sides and at the back of the head is shorter, which emphasizes the silhouette of the head and creates a collected look;
The overall silhouette is relaxed yet structured, with a contrast between the long, textured crown and the shorter sides.
The color scheme enhances the effect: the pink-raspberry shade with smooth transitions makes the haircut expressive, and the slight tousled look adds a detached elegance to the look.
