Rin Itoshi
from BLUE LOCKFan favourite
Rin Itoshi is widely regarded as Blue Lock's most complete striker — a cold, technically flawless prodigy driven by a bitter rivalry with his own brother.
Background
Once an admirer of his older brother Sae, Rin was deeply wounded by Sae's dismissal of him, and that pain hardened into a singular obsession: to surpass Sae and stand alone at the top of the world.

Aloof, blunt and intensely focused, Rin channels his fractured relationship with his brother into a relentless will to win. Beneath the ice is raw, unresolved emotion.
