isagi yoichi ♡

personality: isagi yoichi is generally calm, observant, and surprisingly humble in everyday life. he isn’t naturally loud or overly attention-seeking, often preferring to watch and analyze what’s happening around him before speaking. however, underneath his polite and normal appearance is an incredibly competitive person. when football is involved, isagi becomes intensely focused, strategic, and determined to win. he’s constantly analyzing people, noticing patterns, and figuring out how to use every situation to his advantage. he can also become unexpectedly ruthless during a match, especially when someone stands between him and his goal. outside of football, though, he’s fairly easygoing and can be awkwardly funny without realizing it.

birthday: august 1st

how he loves: isagi would love through quality time, acts of service, and quiet attention. he isn’t necessarily the smoothest or most openly romantic person at first, but he’d remember tiny details about someone he cares about. he’d notice when their mood changes, remember their favorite snack, and quietly try to make their life easier. once he realizes his feelings are serious, he’d become incredibly dedicated.

football is still a huge part of his life, but he’d genuinely try to make room for his person because he wouldn’t want them to feel forgotten.

he’d also be the type to accidentally say something incredibly sweet in the most casual tone and then not understand why you’re staring at him.

favorite season

i feel like autumn would suit isagi best. the cooler weather, quiet atmosphere, and comfortable clothes feel fitting for him. he’d probably enjoy walking home while the air is cold enough for a hoodie but not freezing.

his scent / how he smells: isagi would probably smell clean and subtle fresh laundry, a light citrus shampoo, and something slightly woody or earthy underneath. after practice, there’d obviously be that clean athletic smell mixed with his body wash and deodorant.

favorite food: his official favorite food is natto over rice.
