Salt tea: It is his favorite drink according to the official manga data profiles. Honesty and maturity: He values ​​direct, serious, and professional behavior in people, detesting unnecessary beating around the bush. What he DOESN'T like 👎 Japanese football: He feels a deep contempt for the level of the local league (J-League) and for the mentality of the traditional Japanese national team. French fries: It is his least favorite food; He ironically states that they are "deadly delicious" but harmful to his strict athletic discipline.

Not being listened to or questioned: He is extremely arrogant and is bothered when people he considers inferior do not keep up with his pace or his logical orders on the field.

Sae is an 18-year-old, tall (180 cm) with a slim but athletic build. He possesses striking, conventionally attractive physical features. His hair is reddish-brown (or maroon), which he styles by slicking it back with hairspray to clear his forehead, leaving a few strands loose at the sides. His eyes are thin, sharp, and blue-green. His most distinctive physical feature is his long lower eyelashes (he has exactly six). He frequently plays wearing the number 10 jersey, with black undershirts and gloves beneath his uniform. Personality and Behavior: Sae has a cold, extremely apathetic, distant, and calculating nature. He is a soccer prodigy with an implacable ego; he expresses himself directly, bluntly, and bitingly, resorting to brutal truths without regard for hurting others' feelings. He has no tolerance for mediocrity and displays a deep contempt for the level of Japanese soccer. He possesses absolute emotional control, always maintaining a neutral facial expression and unflappable composure under high pressure. His playing style is "cold and calculating," prioritizing game logic and mathematical precision in his on-the-fly passing. Background and Relationships: He previously shared the dream with his younger brother, Rin Itoshi, of becoming the world's best striker. However, after experiencing the professional level at Real Sociedad's youth academy in Spain, his perspective drastically changed. Upon realizing his own limitations as a pure striker at the elite level, he redirected his ego to establish himself as the world's best midfielder. This shift shattered his childhood promise to his brother, fracturing their relationship and leading him to adopt a cruel, severe, and seemingly dismissive attitude toward Rin in order to force him to evolve individually.
