Rin Itoshi

Rin Itoshi (糸いと師し凛りん, Itoshi Rin?) is a character in the Blue Lock series. Rin is a first-year high school student who has played as a forward his entire life. He is the younger brother of Sae Itoshi and he himself is emerging as one of the most promising talents in the football world. Rin's main goal is to become the world's best striker. Following the challenges and chaos of the Blue Lock Project, Rin holds the #1 ranking in the program alongside with Yoichi Isagi. Following the path of his brother and other gifted individuals, Rin has been presented with an offer from Re Al after the conclusion of the Neo Egoist League. Following the end of the Neo Egoist League, Rin has qualified to become one of the 23 players for the new Japan U-20 entering into the upcoming PIFA U-20 World Cup. Appearance: Rin is a tall adult with a slim but muscular build. He is noticeably taller than Yoichi Isagi who is 5 months older than him. He has dark green hair with a bang going across his face more in his right eye, slim teal eyes, and distinct eyelashes that he shares with his brother Sae Itoshi. As a young boy, Rin looks largely the same, his facial features just become more distinct as he gets older. At Blue Lock, Rin wears the standard issued body suit (black with gray stripes) and tracksuit. During Second Selection, he wore Team Red's #1 jersey and wore Team A's #1 black jersey during the Third Selection. Only once the Japan U-20 match begins does he don an official blue Blue Lock player uniform with the jersey #10 and a captain's armband. During U-20 World Cup, Rin wears the Japan U-20 uniform, loosing the captain armband. During Neo Egoist League, Rin wears the Paris X Gen uniform with long sleeves. He has a fangs on his teeth and secretly a vampire. Personality: As a child, Rin was quite naïve and admired his brother, Sae, desiring nothing more than to be a strong and impressive player like him. He began playing football at his brother's suggestion, obeying his commands without hesitation; however, Rin enjoyed breaking things, particularly his toys or those belonging to his classmates. While watching a superhero film, he was less interested in the primary hero and more fascinated by the final antagonist, believing that battling a more powerful foe and ultimately being defeated was impressive. He conveyed his wish to fight formidable foes, defeat them, and perish. While they played football, Rin paid attention to Sae's words and adapted as needed. When Sae departed for Spain, Rin realized that playing football was tougher without his brother, yet he aimed to emulate him and fill his shoes. This is the point at which Rin's fundamental playing approach began to transition from his intuitive style to a more analytical style. At first, he was an excellent team player and leader for his middle school squad, seeming to have a friendly relationship with several of his teammates. Nevertheless, because of his conflict with his brother, he has turned distant, curt, and excessively serious. He is completely absorbed in soccer, to a nearly obsessive extent, and is quite self-centered, as he consistently prioritizes his ambitions over the aspirations of others. Rin takes great pride in being a striker, to the point of arrogance, as he often labels others' soccer abilities and mindsets as "mediocre" or "lukewarm". These mannerisms and actions originate from his brother; in trying to imitate him, Rin mirrors his speech and adopts his mentality. Rin appears to have little respect for anyone. He will only recognize players who possess a prominent skill or impact on the field. By the time of the Japan National Representative match, he is clearly more communicative with the team, providing instructions on the field and engaging in conversation particularly with Isagi. By the conclusion of the Neo Egoist League, Rin has ultimately discovered a player he admires, apart from his sibling. Rin dedicates himself to a daily aftercare routine to enhance his physique, and he is frequently spotted in the training room performing drills or lifting weights. In spite of his arrogance and detachment, Rin genuinely embodies soccer, committing all his waking hours to improving himself. Every action Rin takes is aimed at surpassing his older brother and concluding their rivalry.

He spends his holiday either by playing horror video games or immersing himself in horror movies. He is not good at calligraphy. If it were his last day on Earth, he would fight with his brother. He doesn't remember how many Valentine chocolates he got last year because he declined all of them and gave them back. His morning routine consists of opening the window to let in fresh air, taking a deep breath, stretching, morning yoga, meditation, revisiting his feelings of sadness and rage, and finally starting his day.[31] When Rin asked what he does for luck before a showdown, he said, "Think about beating nii-chan [Sae]. I can't lose to all of the other small fry".[31] If you had to take one person to a desert island, who would it be? "My brother Sae, I guess. Hmph. Just so I could take out all my pent-up frustration on him. Ah—but I wouldn’t know what to talk about… Damn… Actually, I’d choose Isagi… Ah, but living with just the two of us would be boring. Whatever, anyone would do. As long as it’s not those two. Like an android or something." Rin ranked 6th in the first popularity poll with 1,028 votes. Rin's English voice actress for when he was a child, Lisette Monique Diaz, also voices Oliver Aiku when he was a child and Tenka Naruhaya. By the end of the Neo Egoist League, Rin got a ¥240,000,000 offer from "Re Al" (レ・アール, Re Āru?) Re Al is based on Real Madrid CF. After his awakening in the PXG vs Bastard München match, Rin or the concept of his destroyer flow are frequently called by the epithet 「破壊獣」 (hakaijū), a portmanteau of the words 「破壊者」 (hakaisha, destroyer) and 「壊獣」 (kaiju, monster) This is inspired by the fact a kaiju from a children's TV show was what initially inspired Rin to discover his 'life-risking destruction' ego, and the memory he recalled during the match to tap into it. It's symbolic of the evolution of his ego; he isn't just a 'destroyer' anymore, but one that fights to the death against the strongest opponents like a monster. Rin has the longest unbeaten streak among all the Blue Lock Project players, being that he hadn't lose a single game from the start of the project until the game between Bastard München and Paris X Gen (this is excluding the game against Team World Five where the Blue Lockers were meant to lose). Rin has played as a forward in every team he's been a part of, and scored a goal in every game he's played since the beginning of the story.
