Naruhaya is one of the less talented players on Team Z. Quite often, Naruhaya can be found sneaking food or swiping it from his teammates when they aren’t looking. While he is a dedicated teammate, he understands his own weaknesses and doesn’t pretend to be stronger than he is.

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.

Gagamaru doesn’t have much of a personality, but he is celebrated on his team for his incredible reflexes. Standing tall at one hundred and ninety-one centimeters, Gagamaru is one of the tallest players in Blue Lock. He was born on January 2nd and is seventeen years old.

The Present And Unrelenting

To call Igarashi an underdog is a bit of an understatement. While he works harder than almost all of 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.

Hyoma Chigiri was a star player on his high school team. However, his presence faltered during his transition to Team Z at the Blue Lock center because of his previous injury. Chigiri carried an immense fear of re-injuring his leg and losing the ability to play soccer forever. 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.

The Wild Child Of Team Z

Being one of the oldest members of Team Z at seventeen years of age, Raichi is the foul-mouthed hothead of the series. While in his early appearances, he is shown to be all talk and no bite, as the team progresses, Raichi cements his place on the team. 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.

Meguru Bachira

The Monster On The Field

Bachira is one of the best players on Team Z thanks to his incredible dribbling skills and intensely competitive nature. Bachira is an eccentric type among his teammates, having several quirky personality traits. However, on the soccer field, Bachira is an entirely different animal.

Being one of the quickest players to evolve with every match, Bachira proves he was chosen to be in Blue Lock for a reason. Standing at one hundred and seventy-six centimeters, Bachira’s body is in peak condition, and he possesses incredible maneuverability. Bachiru is seventeen years old and was born on August eighth.

The Dependable Shield

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. Lemon has a massively muscular body compared to many of the players in Blue Lock, standing at one hundred and eighty-seven centimeters tall and being a great wall as a goalie.

Rensuke Kunigami

The Tip Of The Spear

Kunigami is a strong soccer player and one of the strongest members of Team Z, with a powerful weapon to make fast, long-distance goals.

Kunigami adapted to his new life in Blue Lock quickly, connecting with his new teammates instantly and understanding his responsibility as a player. Even though there were some rough patches during the team’s first game, he does an excellent job of managing his teamwork with his own ego. Kunigami is one hundred and eighty-eight centimeters tall and was born on March 7.

Yudai Imamura

The Light-Hearted Bottom Tier

• How old is Imamura? 18

• When is Imamura’s birthday? July 15

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.

Yoichi Isagi

The Evolving Striker

• How old is Isagi? 16
• How tall is Isagi? 175cm
• When is Isagi’s Birthday? April 1

Yoichi Isagi serves as the main protagonist of Blue Lock and the unofficial captain of Team Z during its beginning. Isagi shows unwavering dedication to his team and massive willpower to overcome insurmountable odds when faced with powerful opponents.

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. Isagi was born on April 1, is sixteen years old, and stands at one hundred and seventy-five centimeters tall.

Seishiro Nagi

The Uninterested Enigma

• How Old Is Nagi? 16
• How Tall Is Nagi? 190cm
• When Is Nagi’s Birthday? May 6

Nagi appeared in Blue Lock as the slothish ace of Team V in episode eight of Blue Lock. Immediately, Nagi displayed a 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

The Greatest One-On-One Player

• How Old Is Yukimiya? 18
• How Tall Is Yukimiya? 184cm
• When Is Yukimiya’s Birthday? April 28

Yukimiya makes his whole character debut in the second season of Blue Lock in episode one as one of the top six strikers in the program. Alongside his ally elites, Yukmiya comes off as an intense and somewhat arrogant individual, claiming to be the best one-on-one player in Japan.

With speed, strength, and the intellect to utilize both it’s hard to argue with his claims. Sitting as number five in the Blue Lock ranking, Yukimiya easily outmaneuvers most of the players remaining in Blue Lock and has a comfortable nature on the field.

Eita Otoya

The Coolheaded Bomber

• How Old Is Otoya? 18
• How Tall Is Otoya? 177cm
• When Is Otoya’s Birthday? December 3

Eita Otoya is the fourth-ranked member of the Blue Lock top six. Making his debut in Blue Lock Season Two, 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. In 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

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.

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

Shido is the new wild child in Blue Lock season two. 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 him a force to be reckoned with, which is perfect for the second-ranked player in the program. It is clear that Shido’s overzealous nature will play quite a part as the qualifier matches continue.

Rin ItoshiItoshi

The Stoic Prodigy

• How Old Is Rin? 16
• How Tall Is Rin? 186cm
• When Is Rin’s Birthday? September 9

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 he was a cut above the rest, which Itoshi proved by single-handedly dominating their entire team.

With a cold and ruthless disposition, Itoshi showed himself to be fully enveloped in soccer, knowing all of his strengths and all of his opponents’ weaknesses, even if they didn’t know it themselves. Itoshi Rin continues to be a pillar on the field forcing everyone to play around him, even his own teammates.
