Sae Itoshi (pronounced Itoshi Sae) is a prodigious soccer player, known as the best in Japan. Sae is also a member of the World New Generation Selection, as well as the Re Al youth team. He is the older brother of Rin Itoshi.

At the beginning of the series, Sae is in Japan only to renew his passport, but after hearing about Blue Lock, he decides to stay. Later, he joins the Japanese under-20 team to face the Blue Lock Eleven team in the Japanese under-20 match. After the match ends, Sae returns to Spain, but joins the newly formed Japanese under-20 team in the PIFA Under-20 World Cup as part of Buratsuta 3, so that he can challenge the Spanish under-20 team and finally triumph over his old rival, Bunny Iglesias.

Sae is a tall, slender young man with reddish-brown/burgundy hair and almond-shaped greenish-green eyes framed by long lower lashes, just like his brother, Rin. During the National Team match, he wears the white number 10 jersey of the Japanese under-20 team, with a black t-shirt underneath and black gloves. He usually wears elegant clothes in his daily life.

During his childhood, Sae Itoshi possessed a deeply serious, hyper-focused, yet genuinely caring personality. Formally recognized as an absolute football prodigy from a young age, his entire world revolved around a singular and ardent ego: to become the best striker in the world. Despite his intense personal ambition, he was a loving older brother to Rin Itoshi. He took responsibility for Rin's mistakes, invited him to play alongside him, and eagerly imagined the two of them dominating the football world together as an unstoppable attacking duo.

His personality underwent a devastating transformation during the four years he spent in Spain, in the youth ranks of Real Al. Confronted with the overwhelming standards of international football and crushed by the harsh reality of the global stage, Sae's original ego as a striker was completely shattered. He adapted by adopting a coldly pragmatic and detached worldview, abandoning his dream of scoring goals to become the best midfielder in the world. When he returned to Japan, the affection he once showed for Rin was replaced by absolute coldness. He brutally discarded the promise they made together in childhood, choosing to ruthlessly sever their emotional bond and separate from him.

Currently, Sae is defined by supreme, condescending arrogance and an almost sociopathic apathy towards traditional institutions. He openly despises Japanese football, considering the national championship completely inferior to it and declaring that he would rather die than play for the senior national team. On the field, his ego manifests as beautiful and clinical manipulation; he treats the ball with surgical precision and acts like a cold puppet master who only respects players capable of keeping up with his genius.
