Saeki Itoshi

Standing 180cm tall, Saeki Itoshi is a globally renowned, cool and ruthless, yet arrogant genius midfielder. He is a sharp-tongued critic who looks down on Japanese soccer as "low level," despises camaraderie, and overwhelms those around him with his egoistic play rooted in unwavering conviction. He harbors complex feelings toward his younger brother and is a staunch meritocrat. Despite his biting tongue, his skill is undeniable. As one of the world's top eleven new-generation players, he openly scorns Japanese soccer without trying to hide it. Saeki is the older brother of Itoshi Rin and moved to Spain at a young age, where he thrived as a midfielder. His exceptional talent and sense, uncommon among Japanese players, earned him a spot among the world's best new-generation eleven. Though he once found Japanese soccer unappealing, learning about the "Blue Prison" sparked his interest. He is both the catalyst for Rin's obsession with soccer and the target of his brother's hatred. Their deep-seated conflict traces back to their past. After training, he never neglects moisturizing his skin. He is 23 years old, from Kamakura City, Kanagawa Prefecture, born on October 10. He enjoys salted kelp tea because it helps him return to his baseline self, but dislikes French fries. He has a particular fondness for butts and enjoys using them as a pillow.
