BLLK-Yukimiya Kenyu!

Appearance

Yukimiya is tall, with a slim and lightly toned build. He has orange eyes, and his hair is brown and stylized. When outside of a match, it is groomed and straight, whereas during a match, it is wilder and messier. He wears round spectacles in daily life but a pair of specialized windproof glasses when on the pitch to protect his deteriorating vision.

Personality

Yukimiya is highly confident in his own abilities, declaring himself the strongest player in Japan when it comes to one-on-one battles. He is also a likable and charismatic personality, appearing to make friends easily, such as with Seishiro Nagi, Jyubei Aryu, and Tabito Karasu. In addition to this, Yukimiya likes to banter even with his opponents, indicating a playful element to his personality. Yukimiya claims that he is a pacifist, which forms part of his ego, as he thinks the easiest and most peaceful way to score would be to do so himself. He is also highly inquisitive, often being the first to ask Jinpachi Ego questions about his selection criteria. At the same time, however, he is not afraid of confrontations, as seen when he questions Noel Noa, the current world No. 1, about his decision to sub in Yoichi Isagi instead of him during Bastard München vs. FC Barcha.

curiosities

Kenyu is not only a football player but also a model in his private life. He was former teammates with Tabito Karasu (ranked 3rd) and Eita Otoya (ranked 4th) during the Second Selection. His best time for a 50-meter race is 5.91 seconds. His favorite animal is the penguin. He likes the contrast between their adorable waddling on land and their incredible speed in the water. His favorite football player is Edgar Davids. His strength, according to himself, is self-discipline and a world-class competitive mindset. His weaknesses, according to himself, are being his own worst enemy and a lack of interest in the lives of others. His favorite song is "不死鳥" (Fushichou/Phoenix) by Sekai no Owari (the lyrics refer to God and discuss mortality and human limitations). His favorite celebrity is Yō Yoshida ("Handsome women are somehow cool"). His favorite brand is Oakley, the brand of his goggles. His favorite food is blueberries because they're good for the eyes. His least favorite food is garlic because he suspects that it turns his vision yellow. His favorite food to have with rice is shirasu ("Pickled egg together with scallion-fried shirasu is terrific; would you like to try some yourself?"). If he'd been given 100 million yen, he wouldn't know what to do with it because he's not interested in money. His favorite manga is Oyasumi Punpun (Good Night, Punpun) (a dark coming-of-age story with overt religious themes, written and illustrated by Inio Asano. The protagonist is often depicted as a bird in it).

curiosities

He does not know the exact number of chocolates he got during Valentine's Day, but he ate a lot. The chocolates were sent to his agency (probably his modelling agency office). Yukimiya was the first Blue Lock player to get into Flow State during the U-20 match. He is from Miyazaki prefecture. He seems to understand German since he was the only one who understood Noa's instructions in Chapter 156. His motto is "to put forth every moment in that moment," otherwise interpreted as "to give one's all in every moment." Yukimiya started playing soccer at the age of 7. It was his mother who introduced him to the sport. He played for Soranin High School Soccer Club before entering Blue Lock. His hobby is modeling. He likes spring because of the ephemerality of cherry blossoms. His favorite TV show is FOOT x Brain, a TV show about soccer. His favorite subjects are Science, Japanese literature, and PE. His worst subject is Arts because it strains his eyes. He likes ephemeral things such as sakura blossoms and sparkler fireworks (Senko Hanabi) (see also: Mono no Aware). He feels happy when someone cheers for him warmly and sad when someone beats him in a 1-on-1 match. His type is someone who laughs a lot and will always watch over him. The first time he fell in love was with his friend's 16-year-old sister when he was 10. He also received a forehead kiss from her, which made him so embarrassed that he ran away. On the question "Who is the best gentleman?" Yukimiya takes first place in the "Three Best" list. Yukimiya sleeps for 8 hours a day. On the last time he cried, "There's no way I would answer that, is there? It's too embarrassing." If it were his last day on Earth, Yukimiya would tell his parents, "Thank you for giving birth to me." He spends his day off reading and likes reading about the lives of important people. At a minimarket, he would buy a hot eye mask because it warms his eyes. 18/19 Years old 184 cm
