Immeasurable Speed: Chigiri possesses naturally strong leg muscles and expert footwork, allowing him to sprint across the field at incredible speeds. He has outpaced Oliver Aiku, the defensive stalwart of Japan's under-20 national team. This speed, combined with his perception and awareness of positioning, allows him to choose the right breaking point in the opposing defense and blast through it. Furthermore, Chigiri has demonstrated the ability to kick the ball directly and follow through, resulting in a wide dribble capable of disrupting the opponent's formation.
Long-distance running: While Chigiri doesn't possess the explosive acceleration of Zantetsu or Shido, he is much faster over long distances, covering 50 m in 5.77 seconds [20]. Chigiri takes advantage of this by "passing" the ball to himself, sending it a great distance (about 50 meters) and then running to retrieve it. As a result, he can overcome even the tightest defenses with relative ease.
Non-stop dribbling: Instead of controlling a pass, Chigiri bounces the ball forward without breaking stride. He then sprints at full speed with the ball in tow, accelerating even faster during the sprint without losing momentum; no one trying to stop him or defend the goal could halt him. This dribbling style arose due to his weakness in slowing down after regaining possession of the ball.
High-speed pressure: Chigiri uses his speed in defense, moving quickly across the field to pressure the player with the ball. This pressure can force errors from opponents and allow Chigiri's team to set traps.
Jungle Run: Instead of running across wide areas, where he usually excels, Chigiri runs directly through crowded areas, making quick turns. He does this to draw his opponents into the center of the field and allow his teammates to move.

Chigiri is a confident and ambitious individual who enjoys outplaying others on the field. From a young age, he has always believed himself superior to others due to his natural strength, incredible soccer skills, and exceptional speed, calling himself "the chosen one." He despised those who stood in his way or bothered him, but he usually acted as if he were stating the truth. He is described as egotistical, arrogant, and one of the most aggressive players on the field. Only when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament did his sense of superiority begin to crumble, and due to bullying by the Wanima brothers (Junichi Wanima and Keisuke Wanima), he began to fear playing soccer for fear of losing "his identity." This fear was so great that he accepted Blue Lock's invitation to find an excuse to give up instead of continuing to fight for his dream. But after regaining control of his ego and ambition, he has proven to be a persistent and tenacious force on the field.

From this point on, Chigiri displays a friendly yet self-assured demeanor. She often makes sarcastic remarks to both opponents and friends, and has no qualms about trying to crush those she considers unfairly treated, such as Zantetsu when he outmaneuvers her on the field and even Isagi when he rushes ahead in the Second Selection instead of waiting for him. Off the field, Chigiri is usually calm and easygoing. During her time on Team Z, she chatted casually with Kunigami and eventually teamed up with him, demonstrating her complete confidence in his abilities, and they developed great chemistry. She even invited Reo to join, recognizing that his well-rounded skill set and experience managing a trio would be useful. She was seemingly willing to put aside any past animosity for the sake of pragmatism. After joining Team White in the Second Selection, she gets along quite well with him.

Archetypes
Forwards: Also known as strikers, their main objective is to score goals. They are usually the players who receive the most attention, as their role is designed to be in a scoring position. They also participate in penalty kicks and corner kicks when the opposing team puts the ball out of play. They are normally responsible for taking the kickoff at the beginning and end of the first half.
Counter-attacker: A counter-attacker is any attacking player who uses their speed to outpace defenders and create unexpected scoring opportunities at any time. It also requires some shooting ability. Counter-attack opportunities arise when the opposing team attacks a team with most of its players committed to the attack. A counter-attack occurs when the ball is won back and quickly passed into open space for a counter-attacking player to exploit, or when a player receives the ball and sprints towards the opponent's half of the field, which is less defended.
Chigiri's natural physical build allows him to run at incredible speeds compared to most players, and coupled with his great focus, he's able to maintain control of the ball and his speed while moving through tight spaces, between players, and seamlessly switching between dribbling and passing. After training with Manshine City, Chigiri makes more precise decisions about where to cut and run, now targeting his ideal shooting zone using his honed speed and dribbling skills instead of blindly charging into the penalty area at full throttle.

Chigiri is a young man with reddish-pink hair and bright pink eyes. He has always had a very feminine face, as evidenced by his long eyelashes and soft features. He is often referred to as "Kunoichi" or "Princess" due to his feminine appearance, sometimes being mistaken for a girl at first glance; he often refutes this by saying, "I'm a boy." Other players have complimented him on his good looks, though he seems indifferent to such comments. He bears a strong resemblance to his mother and older sister. Chigiri's hair only reached his neck until he tore the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his right leg, after which he let it grow. Currently, Chigiri's hair extends past his shoulders and features long bangs that fall to the right side of his face. During matches, he braids the left side of his hair to keep it out of his face.

In Blue Lock, Chigiri wears the standard suit (black with gray stripes) and a tracksuit. During the First Selection, he wore Team Z's blue number 4 jersey and gray cap-style shoes. During the Second Selection, he wore Team Red's number 44 jersey and then switched to white when Chigiri joined Isagi's team. During the Third Selection, he wore Team B's white number 44 jersey. It wasn't until the match against the Japanese U-20 National Team that Chigiri wore an official Blue Lock player uniform in blue and black with the number 4. During the Neo Egoist League, he wore the Manshine City jersey with the number 44. In the U-20 World Cup, he wore the official national team jersey, returning to the number 4 he wore in the First Selection.

Hyoma Chigiri (千切 豹馬 Chigiri Hyōma?) is a Blue Lock project aspirant, currently playing as the starting right back for the Japanese Under-20 National Team at the Under-20 World Cup.

Chigiri is a prodigy striker who was sidelined by a leg injury in the past, but he overcame his fears while at Blue Lock so he could continue playing football with all his heart. When he first arrived at Blue Lock, Chigiri was a member of Team Z. He spent half of the First Selection avoiding participation or keeping it to a minimum, but when Isagi motivated him in Team Z's third match, he decided to let go of his fear and play football to become the best striker in the world, just like his rivals.
