Blue Lock is a sports anime that debuted in October 2022 and quickly became one of the genre’s most exciting releases in years.

Blue Lock follows some of Japan’s most exciting young soccer players who have been brought together to compete in a ruthless competition to create the best striker in the country.

Allegiances and friendships don’t matter, as anyone can be kicked out at any moment. The story follows the bottom-of-the-barrel, Blue Lock‘s Team Z, which consists of several amazing players. Let’s highlight a few core details of Blue Lock‘s main characters.
Updated on March 25, 2024, by Mark Sammut: Despite having a relatively weak start, Blue Lock season 2 managed to mount a comeback and put together a great stretch of episodes, hopefully setting the stage for an eventual sequel since the anime has plenty of manga content still to cover.

On the field, Naruhaya tries his hardest to use his skills to the best of his abilities but often falls short of his own expectations compared to the rest of his teammates.

Gagamaru is the coy giant of Team Z. He is very reserved and doesn’t speak often, and he keeps it short when he does. More than likely, Gagamaru is wearing a somewhat spaced-out expression that leads one to believe that he is somewhere else in his head, but he is actually a very observant player.

To call Igarashi an underdog is a bit of an understatement. While he works harder than almost all the other players on the field, he’s one of the least talented and gets by on the field by the skin of his teeth most of the time. However, Igarashi does not lack confidence and is dedicated to being one of the best strikers in the world no matter what.
In addition, Igarashi is a motivational player who can make a difference for his team and is versatile in the roles he can perform. Igarashi was born on July 6, is only sixteen, and is one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall.

However, Chigiri overcame his fear and unleashed his explosive speed on the field to score his team-high velocity goals.
Chigiri has a very intense personality on the field which sees an arrogance arise in him that pushes him across the field with blinding speed. Chigiri is one hundred and seventy-seven centimeters tall and was born on December 23, which makes him sixteen years old.

With a very aggressive personality and style of play, Raichi excels at unnerving his opponents, which pairs well with his strong defense and stamina.
Furthermore, while he does not do well in showing camaraderie with his teammates and scolds them constantly for every slight mistake, he is a loyal teammate nonetheless. Raichi is seventeen years old, his birthday is October 17, and he stands at one hundred and eighty-four centimeters tall.

Lemon was born on November nineteenth. He’s eighteen years old and thus one of the oldest players on Team Z and in Blue Lock. Lemon is predominately the goalkeeper for the team but can also be a strong forward when required. Lemon shines in his dedication and helpfulness to his teammates; always helping them train and standing out as one of the team’s strategists.
While many of the players on Team Z have a select focus on their weapons, Lemon seems to be extremely versatile, calling himself a jack of all trades.

Imamura is another underwhelming member of Team Z who comes up short in overall performance when compared to his teammates. Imamura is a very good soccer player but does not have any unique skills or powerful weapons to be of use and make it further in Blue Lock.
Imamura has an easygoing personality and a lot of energy on and off the field. He can be a bit of a ladies’ man but that desire is tremendously one-sided. Imamura was born on July 15 and is eighteen years old, standing at one hundred and seventy-eight centimeters in height.

Isagi’s metavision makes him stand out from most players in Blue Lock, but how exactly does the ability work?
Isagi utilizes his spatial awareness to take control of the game. However, when Isagi’s ego ignites, he becomes a shotmaker who is nearly unstoppable on the field. Isagi’s personality is quite the opposite of his style of play. While he can be intense, he is usually very approachable, and he tries to build connections with other players. That said, his skills and ego grow exponentially as Blue Lock progresses, as he transforms from the weakest player to the best.
Seishiro Nagi
The Uninterested Enigma
- How Old Is Nagi? 17
- How Tall Is Nagi? 190cm
- When Is Nagi’s Birthday? May 6
- Japanese Voice Actor: Nobunaga Shimazaki
- English Voice Actor: Bryson Baugus
- Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 1, “Dream”
Nagi appeared in Blue Lock as the slothish ace of Team V. Immediately, Nagi displayed disinterest in facing weak opponents and in playing soccer in general. However, this aura of disinterest hid his inhuman skill as he was an unstoppable force on the battlefield.
In reality, Nagi was waiting for the right chemical reaction to ignite his ambitious nature. This occurred when Isagi Yoichi rose to the occasion and used his control of the goal to snatch victory from Tem V’s hands. Since that match, Nagi has been an insatiable animal, playing as best he can all the time to get back to that feeling of adrenaline from his first defeat.
Kenyu Yukimiya

Eita Otoya
The Coolheaded Bomber
- How Old Is Otoya? 17 (But On The Cusp Of Turning 18)
- How Tall Is Otoya? 177cm
- When Is Otoya’s Birthday? December 3
- Japanese Voice Actor: Kengo Kawanishi
- English Voice Actor: Davon Oliver
- Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 24, “The Time Has Come”
Eita Otoya is the fourth-ranked member of the Blue Lock top six. Making his debut in Blue Lock season 2, he was depicted as a calm and level-headed athlete. In his first match appearance in Team B with Tabito Karasu, Otoya has proven himself to be cool under pressure and to always be at the right place at the right time.
Unlike his teammates, he does give off an overpowering amount of ego and lets his fieldwork do all the talking. As a very similar type of player to Nagi, Otoya seems to be very go-with-the-flow, confident he can handle anything that comes his way.
Tabito Karasu
The Keen Eyed Crow
- How Old is Karasu? 18
- How Tall Is Karasu? 183cm
- When Is Karasu’s Birthday? August 15
- Japanese Voice Actor: Makoto Furukawa
- English Voice Actor: Clifford Chapin
- Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 24, “The Time Has Come”
Karasu is a character that definitely matches the breed of striker that joined up for Blue Lock and fits right in with the top six of the program. Coming right off the boat with arrogance and a sense of superiority, Karasu leaves his nose in the air while he looks down on his opponents on the field.

Not all Blue Lock players are created equal. For various reasons, these are the worst of the bunch.
Instantly picking a rivalry with Isagi Yoichi, Karasu showed how deadly he is at analyzing his opponents and shutting their strengths down. While he has yet to show every trick he has up his sleeve, he can clearly hold his own when on the field with lessers or betters.
Ryusei Shido
The Unstoppable Force
- How Old Is Shido? 18
- How Tall Is Shido? 185
- When Is Shido’s Birthday? July 7
- Japanese Voice Actor: Yuichi Nakamura
- English Voice Actor: Van Barr Jr.
- Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 24, “The Time Has Come”
Shido is the wild child added in Blue Lock season 2. His appearance is just as chaotic as his style of play. Unlike most of the other strikers in the top six, Shido rules the field with instinct instead of pure skill. He’s trained his body to know exactly how to act and when to move.
This, paired with his ultra-athletic skills, makes Shido a force to be reckoned with, which is perfect for the second-ranked player in the program. Shido’s overzealous nature might not complement his teammates all that much, and he is certainly the definitional of an egotistical player, but he is still among the best strikers in Blue Lock.
Rin Itoshi
The Stoic Prodigy
- How Old Is Rin? 16
- How Tall Is Rin? 186cm
- When Is Rin’s Birthday? September 9
- Japanese Voice Actor: Koki Uchiyama
- English Voice Actor: Matt Shipman
- Debut Episode: Season 1, Episode 11, “The Final Piece”
Rin made a big splash during the latter half of season one of Blue Lock. Isagi, Nagi, and the rest of his team instantly realized Rin was a cut above the rest, which he proved by single-handedly dominating their entire team.
With a cold and ruthless disposition, Rin showed himself to be fully enveloped in soccer, knowing all of his strengths and all of his opponent’s weaknesses. In season 2, he continues to be a pillar on the field, forcing everyone to play around him, even his own teammates.
