Ryusei Shidou

Ryusei Shidou (士し道どう 龍りゅう聖せい, Shidōu Ryūsei?) is a contender of the Blue Lock, who currently plays for France's Paris X Gen. Shidou, unlike most forwards, has no concrete dream of becoming the world's best striker. He instead seeks to enjoy life to the fullest by playing football. Out of the original 300 forwards chosen to be a part of the Blue Lock Project, Shidou is an ideal candidate for the type of striker Ego strives to create. After the match against the Japan U-20 team, Shidou ranked as one of the top players in Blue Lock. Shidou is a tall, tanned young man with spiky blonde hair having two strands falling on both sides of his face. He has pink colored irises with white silted pupils in them like a cat, and he is of similar height and body build to Rin Itoshi. He is very expressive and is often seen with a joker-like grin or smirk. During the second half of the Japan U-20 match, Shidou dons the #13 U-20 jersey with a black shirt under it and shorts. Ryusei Shidou is an eccentric football player in Blue Lock who has a strong penchant for violence or physical altercations. At the core of Shidou's personality is a drive to play football not because it is a sport he enjoys playing but because to him it is a biological phenomenon that makes him feel complete. A noticeable trait of Shidou's is his propensity for violence to get what he wants often being unwilling to work with most people (if anybody at all). Despite this, Shidou can be openly affectionate and flirtatious towards his teammate Sae Itoshi, who had released him from Blue Lock in order to play for the Japan U-20 Team. Shidou can also be overtly sexual at times and though he is prone to violence, he also learns how to control his violent rampages in exchange for playing high-level football longer.
