Itoshi, Rin

糸師凛

Rin Itoshi serves as the deuteragonist of Blue Lock.
Rin is the younger brother of Sae Itoshi and began playing football alongside him at a young age. He has played as a forward on every team he has joined, consistently ranking among the top players. Within Blue Lock, Rin is considered the best player until Jinpachi Ego officially confirms him as the number one player at the start of the Third Selection.
Rin's primary objective is to become the world's best striker. He used to be obsessed with defeating his brother in soccer to exact revenge for abandoning their shared dream, but after the Blue Lock Eleven played against the Japan U-20, he abandoned his desire for revenge and resolved to change so that he could become the world's best striker, defeating anyone in his way.
Rin is an ideal candidate for the type of striker Ego aims to create, and following the match against the Japan U-20, he is ranked as one of the top players in Blue Lock.
He is tall, with black hair, blue eyes, and prominent eyelashes. Rin is frequently described as cold, blunt, and serious.
