Naruhaya, Asahi

成早朝日

Asahi Naruhaya is a former member of Team Z.
Naruhaya has fluffy blonde hair with darker, round eyebrows and long eyelashes. He is quite short for a soccer player and has a small build.
Naruhaya is aware of his weaknesses and abilities in comparison to others, making it clear to Isagi that he knows he won't be picked if he loses his 2v2 match. He sees himself and Isagi as ordinary players who cannot compete on equal terms with truly talented and genius soccer players such as Barou, Nagi, or Bachira. This awareness pushed him to try his best in his match. His awareness reaches the point of losing and fully understanding why Isagi was a better player than himself.
He is very mischievous, stealing food and acting as the jokester of Team Z. He also cares for his family; his standing as one of the eldest siblings motivates him to play.
In his 2v2 match against Isagi and Nagi, featuring Barou, Naruhaya shows that he has always known he wouldn't last any longer in Blue Lock. After losing, he feels powerless but also relieved, aware that he is not fit enough to pursue his goal of becoming the best striker in the world. For him, it was only a naïve and stupid dream, but he is also satisfied due to being capable of reaching the Second Selection. Before leaving, he wishes Isagi the best of luck and encourages him to keep winning.
Off-the-Ball Movement: Like Yoichi Isagi, Asahi uses off-the-ball movement. However, Asahi seems to be much more experienced and skilled with this ability. He uses this skill to break defensive formations and has keen analytical ability, using the skill in the right place at the right time. He is also good at moving in other players' blind spots and can get past even Isagi with the skill.
