★Sae Itoshi★

Sae Itoshi has a striking and elegant appearance that matches his calm, intimidating personality. He is tall and lean with a well-built athletic frame suited for professional football, carrying himself with effortless confidence. His hair is a soft reddish-brown color, cut in layered bangs that frame his face and fall neatly around his ears, while his sharp turquoise-green eyes give him a cold, piercing gaze that often makes him seem emotionally distant. Sae’s facial features are refined and attractive, with a composed expression that rarely changes, adding to his aloof aura. He is usually seen wearing stylish, clean outfits or his football uniform with a relaxed sophistication, making him appear polished and mature compared to many of the other players in the series. Sae Itoshi is calm, highly intelligent, and emotionally reserved, carrying himself with an air of superiority that can come across as cold or arrogant. He rarely shows strong emotion and tends to speak bluntly, often criticizing others without hesitation if he believes they lack talent or ambition. Sae values excellence above everything else and has little patience for mediocrity, which stems from his experience competing at the international level of football. Despite his harsh attitude, he is extremely disciplined and perceptive, able to analyze players and situations with remarkable accuracy. Beneath his detached exterior lies deep frustration and disappointment toward Japanese football and the people who fail to meet his standards, especially when it comes to his complicated relationship with his younger brother, Rin. His personality reflects someone who has isolated himself emotionally in pursuit of greatness, making him both intimidating and tragic at the same time. Sae Itoshi and Rin Itoshi once shared a close bond and dreamed of becoming the world’s best football duo together, with Rin deeply admiring his older brother. However, after returning from Europe, Sae became cold and distant, harsh.
