糸師冴

Sae Itoshi is an antagonist in the Blue Lock manga.
Sae is a prodigious football player considered the best in Japan and the older brother of Rin Itoshi. He is also a member of the Men's World 11 and the Real Madrid Youth team, regarded as one of the world's top youth players.
Before the series began, his primary goal was to become the world's best striker and, consequently, the best player overall. However, after leaving Japan and experiencing the professional league in Spain, he changed his dream to becoming the world's best midfielder.
At the start of the series, he is in Japan solely to renew his passport, but after hearing about Blue Lock, he decides to stay. He later joins the Japan U-20 team to face the Blue Lock Eleven in the Japan U-20 match.
