reo Mikage

Reo Mikage (御み影かげ 玲王レオ, Mikage Reo?) is a contender for the Blue Lock Project, who currently plays as a center midfielder for England's Manshine City during the Neo Egoist League. Reo is the heir of the Mikage Corporation, with his total assets valued at about 705.8 billion yen or $5.3 billion USD. Prior to entering Blue Lock, he was a student at an elite high school, where he met his first long-term friend, Seishiro Nagi, who started playing soccer shortly after with him due to Nagi's natural talent in the sport, and Reo's craving to go further in football. Being a young man who has almost everything at the tips at his fingers, owing to his father being the head of the Mikage Corporation, his one and only desire is to win the Football World Cup. When he first arrived at Blue Lock, Reo was a member of Team V and arguably the second-best player in his designated stratum. He played as a centerback for the Blue Lock Eleven against the Japan U-20. Reo is a tall young man with a lean and strong build. He has chin-length purple hair (shown in the official colored art), usually tied in a high bun, leaving two locks of hair framing his face. He also has bright purple eyes, also shown on the official art. At Blue Lock, Reo wears the standard-issued body suit (black with blue stripes) and tracksuit. During the First Selection, he wore Team V’s blue #9 jersey and wears Team V's gray-capped cleats. During Second Selection, he wore Team Red's #10 jersey that later switched to white. During Third Selection, he wore Team C's white and blue #10 jersey. During the match against the Japan U-20, Reo dons an official blue-colored Blue Lock player uniform with the #14. Reo is a very charismatic, sociable, and joyful individual. During his high school days, he had lots of friends, was fairly popular and had many admirers. He was also the top student and participated in many sports activities. However, he found his life boring both because of how easy it was and how he got whatever he wanted, so he decided to carve a path where he would have to fight for what he wanted and prove his existence. He then found satisfaction in playing football to obtain the coveted World Cup, and would do anything he could to win, like paying and taking care of a natural football prodigy like Nagi to get further in football. At the end of First Selection Reo was confident in his team winning yet another game but when Team Z started shutting down and scoring on Team V, Reo became overly aggressive and frustrated at a situation he did not understand going as far as to foul somebody. Reo was noticeably lost for words when Team Z ended up winning the game, and when Nagi decided to join Isagi's Team White instead of waiting with him to find another teammate in the start of the Second Selection. He started to stubbornly refuse to accept that the prodigy, Nagi, his best friend for months and someone Reo regarded as ‘his’, would choose to play with someone else over him. He spent the half of Second Selection focused on ‘winning’ Nagi back, only to lose the match deciding who would pick a player from the other team, almost losing Nagi as a friend as a result.
