Yoichi Isagi

Yoichi Isagi (潔 世一)
He started out as an unknown high school forward with a huge dream: becoming Japan’s ace striker and leading the nation to a World Cup win. Joining the Blue Lock project was his shot at making it happen. Early on, he couldn’t quite figure out what set him apart… until the first selection revealed his gift: an uncanny ability to sense the “smell of goals” and read the field with razor-sharp spatial awareness. Nicknamed a “genius of adaptability,” he keeps pushing forward, evolving his style and syncing with teammates in ways that keep opponents guessing.

Age: 16
Blood Type: B
Birthday: April 1
Hometown: Saitama Prefecture
Height: 5.74ft (175cm)
Favorite Food: Kintsuba

Meguru Bachira

Meguru Bachira (蜂楽 廻)
He's a player like no other: his sharp dribbling and unpredictable tricks give him a free-spirited style that's as exciting to watch as it is hard to defend. When he was younger, he found it hard to get on with the other players and often played on his own, which made him stand out. So, to fill that gap, he came up with "the monster", an imaginary friend who was basically his ideal self. But in chasing that image, he lost sight of what soccer really meant to him. Meeting Isagi and facing the fierce trials of Blue Lock sparked a change. He rediscovered his own ego, said goodbye to "the monster," and began evolving into a more mature, more formidable player in both mind and skill.

Hometown: Chiba Prefecture
Height: 5.77ft (176cm)

Rin Itoshi

Rin Itoshi (糸師 凛)
At the moment, he's top of the Blue Lock programme, and with good reason. He's not just a one trick pony, he's got all the skills you'd expect from a top-tier player. He seems calm and collected on the surface, but beneath that cool exterior is a pure egoist, unafraid to take control and make moves that leave no doubt about who's in charge. He's also great at knowing when to read the field, work out his teammates' strengths and get them all working together to move the game forward. And at the centre of it all is a fierce, unshakable rivalry with his older brother, Itoshi Sae.

Age: 16
Blood Type: A
Birthday: September 9
Hometown: Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture

Seishiro Nagi

Seishiro Nagi (凪 誠士郎)
He's got natural talent and a real feel for the game, making the impossible look easy. At first, he wasn't interested in the sport at all. He was lazy, unmotivated, and perfectly fine with it. Things changed when his classmate Reo saw his hidden potential and got him involved in the game. He's got great instincts and a super accurate trapping ability, so he pulls off plays that most players wouldn't even think about trying. At first, even Blue Lock couldn't get him interested, but after battling through matches and teaming up with Isagi, he discovered a true love for soccer… and his own powerful ego.

Age: 17

Hyoma Chigiri

Hyoma Chigiri (千切 豹馬)
With his long red hair and lightning-fast legs, he’s impossible to miss. His specialty? Pure speed. He’s hit 5.77 seconds in the 50-meter dash. But when he first joined Blue Lock, a lingering injury held him back from unleashing his full sprint. He was ready to walk away from soccer if things didn’t work out… until Team W’s first selection, when Isagi’s words lit a fire in him. Confidence restored and ego awakened, he tore past his limits and left his opponents eating dust.

Gin Gagamaru

Gin Gagamaru (我牙丸 吟)
They call him a "wild child", and with good reason. He's an incredible athlete, capable of doing things that most players wouldn't even try. Yeah, he's got less experience in football than the rest of Blue Lock, but he's got massive potential. With his strange, unpredictable moves and rough physical play, he keeps his rivals on their toes, and his quirks, like casually eating with his hands, make him just as memorable off the pitch.

Ryusei Shidou

Ryusei Shidou (士道龍聖)
A striker who lives for chaos on the pitch, he throws himself into an explosive, all-or-nothing style of soccer. Sure, he’s rough, but his instincts in the penalty area are razor sharp, letting him sniff out goals before anyone else sees them coming. He’s not shy about using brute force, yet behind that violence is a raw, genuine love for the game. To him, soccer isn’t just a sport... it’s his “life activity.”
