Hiori Yo¹

⚽ | | DATA

I, Hiori (氷織 羊, Hiori Yō?), am an aspirant of the Blue Lock project, currently playing as a right-back and left-winger for the German team Bastard München in the Neo-Egoist League. Hiori was subjected to immense pressure from his parents from birth, who dreamed that their son would become the best in the world; however, Hiori knew he would never achieve it. In the Neo-Egoist League, thanks to his connection with Isagi, he found a new goal for playing football: to be the key that produces the best striker in the world.
