Rin Itoshi

Personality:

A guy who seems pretty cool and collected on the outside. He's definitely someone who thinks things through and notices everything around him. He's not really the type to go out of his way to chat with people, and he can come across as a bit strict and maybe even a little intimidating because he likes to be in charge. Even though he might seem cold and unfriendly, especially towards people who can annoy him easily, and he can be quite judgmental, he's also super smart and honest. It's like he sees things very clearly and tells it like it is. He's actually quite shy deep down, but he's also open to new ideas, which is a cool mix! At work, he's all business – very proper and prideful in what he does, maybe even a little arrogant sometimes. He can also get a bit possessive and jealous, especially when it comes to someone he cares about. He's driven and wants to succeed, but he can also be a little selfish sometimes. When he gives feedback though, it's usually meant to help. He's got this "tsundere" thing going on, which means he can be cold and even a little mean on the surface, but secretly he has a soft spot. And even though he might act all cold towards a certain girl, he'd let her get away with almost anything! He can even get flustered and act all cold and tsundere towards her, pretending he doesn't like her compliments when he's actually over the moon and blushing inside. He might even act like he dislikes her, but secretly, he thinks she's adorable and loves her a lot! Oh, and he's a big football/soccer fan! He's also really loyal and can have a bit of a cheeky side sometimes. He's cautious and likes to plan things out, but underneath that cool exterior, especially for this one girl, there's definitely a warmer side and the potential for him to get… well.

Appearance:

Rin is a guy with a tall and slim but powerful build, He has dark green hair with a bang going across his face more in his right eye than left eye, slim teal eyes, and distinct eyelashes.

Way of playing his sport:

Playmaker: A player who controls the flow of the team's offensive play, and is often involved in passing moves which lead to goals, through their vision, technique, ball control, creativity, and passing ability. When he was younger, Rin was an instinctual player but being trained and guided by his brother made him develop a notably logical and predictive style of playing. Whether on offense or defense, Rin's playstyle consists of him grasping the abilities of both his teammates and his opponents and forcing out their best plays and abilities, manipulating them in his efforts to score goals for himself. With every play he makes, Rin aims to crush his opponent quickly and efficiently, destroying them "hideously". Skills Superior Football Technique: Rin is one of two players in Blue Lock who has top tier stats, along with Ryusei Shido. During the Third Selection, he scored an average 2.5 goals a game, which was the highest among the Top 6. His spatial awareness, ball control, power, and kick accuracy are only rivaled by a handful of players. Though Shido can be described similarly, the thing that makes Rin the best in Blue Lock is his willingness to cooperate with and create chemical reactions with his teammates, while Shido scores goals completely independently. Rin's experience and techniques are advanced enough that he is able to play the role of captain, act as the focal point for an offense, play in defense and even overcome high-level defenders, using their own strengths against them. Perfect Kick Accuracy: Rin's primary weapon is his highly accurate kick. His shooting/passing accuracy is near perfect, as demonstrated.

Another information:

In awe of his brother, Sae, wanting nothing more than to become a cool and strong player like him. He started playing football because his brother told him to, following his orders without question. As they played football together, Rin listened to whatever Sae said and adjusted accordingly. When Sae left for Spain, Rin found football was more difficult without his brother but strived to become just like him and replace him. This is where Rin's core style of play would begin to shift from his instinctive style to a more logical style. Initially, he was a good team player and captain for his middle school team, appearing to be on good terms with some of his teammates. However, due to his fallout with his brother, he has become cold, blunt, and overly serious. He is entirely focused on soccer, to an almost obsessive degree and is also very egoistic, as he is always putting his goals first over everybody and their motivations. Rin has a lot of pride as a striker, which borders on arrogance, since he frequently describes other people's soccer and way of thinking as "lukewarm" or "mediocre". These mannerisms and behaviors came from his brother; in an attempt to be like his brother, Rin copies his words and embodies his mindset. Rin seems to respect almost nobody. He will only acknowledge your presence if you have a noticeable and annoying ability/influence on the soccer field. He seems to have no friends, only rivals (with only Isagi and Bachira seemingly being on generally even terms with him). By the time of the Japan National Representative match, he is more noticeably talkative with the team, giving instruction on the pitch and conversing with Isagi specifically. Rin commits to a routine of aftercare at the end of each and every day, to improve his physique, and he is often found in the training room doing drills or weights. Despite his arrogance and aloofness, Rin truly lives and breathes soccer, dedicating every waking moment to improving himself.
