Appearance

Isagi is a teenager of slightly above average height and slim build, developing a
stronger, more defined-looking physique. He has short, dark blue hair that leaves a
V-shaped fringe between his deep blue eyes, along with a plant shaped ahoge at the
top of his head.

While attending Ichinan High School, he wore an unbuttoned blazer over a white
undershirt and striped tie. Both the Ichinan High jersey and gym uniform are light-
colored with black stripes.

At Blue Lock, Isagi wears the standard-issued body suit (black with blue stripes)
and tracksuit. During the First Selection, he wore Team Z's blue #11 jersey and
Team Z's gray-capped cleats. During Second Selection, he wore Team White's #15
jersey and later switched to red. He then later switched to Team A's black #15
jersey during the Blue Lock Eleven tryouts.

Isagi dons an official blue-colored Blue Lock player uniform with the #11, that
looks very similar to the ones seen in the first cover spread minus the Japan flag
during the Japan U-20 match.

As a regular for Team Germany, Isagi wears the red and black with gold stripes
Bastard München uniform as #11.

Yoichi Isagi (潔いさぎ世よ一いち Isagi Yoichi?) is the main protagonist of the Blue Lock
series.
Isagi is a second-year high school student from Saitama who initially played as a
forward in high school. Unlike his fellow competitors, who were scouted by Anri
Teieri, Isagi was chosen personally by Jinpachi Ego himself after seeing him play.
Isagi's main goal is to become the world's best striker.

After surviving the many trials and tribulations of Blue Lock, Isagi is ranked #1
in the program alongside Rin Itoshi and is seen as one of the most exciting talents
in football with an offer from Bastard München the end of the Neo Egoist League.
Following the end of the Neo Egoist League, Isagi has qualified to become one of
the 23 players for the new Japan U-20 team entering the upcoming PIFA U-20 World
Cup. He currently plays as a forward for the Japan U-20.

Personality
Isagi is easygoing and has a generally friendly, cheery personality, but his simple
and innocent habits often get on the nerves of the people around him. He tends to
avoid any childish squabbles among other Blue Lock competitors and tries to be a
peacekeeper between his friends and rivals. At the beginning of Blue Lock, Isagi is
massively unsure of himself and his skill due to being the second-lowest-ranked
player in Blue Lock initially and his conflicting ideas of football. As time goes
on, Isagi develops a more assertive presence on and off the field, becoming the
foundation for Team Z and garnering the respect of some of the best players in Blue
Lock, who mostly have heavily assertive or dominant personalities. As of Third
Selection, Isagi has the confidence, charisma, and reputation to talk openly with
Rin Itoshi, one of the most talented yet difficult people in the Blue Lock Project.

Initially, Isagi was unsure on how to proceed in Blue Lock due to being taught an
ideology during his time in high school that conflicted with what was being
promoted in Blue Lock, as well as being unsure on how to be egotistic. However,
starting with Team Z's first win and subsequent wins thereafter, Isagi becomes
well-acquainted with the rush of victory and the cold ruthlessness needed to
survive in Blue Lock. As times goes on, he becomes willing to step on the plans and
dreams of his opponents and teammates in order to score a goal and go further in
Blue Lock. When it comes to football, he is ambitious and calculated, willing to
change and adapt, to get the right "chemical reactions" out of his teammates, to
stay a step ahead of their opponents, and be the best player on the field, staying
true to his commitment to becoming the world's best striker. He sports an
opportunistic and analytical playstyle and an insatiable hunger to win by scoring
on the pitch; however, he is also shown to connect and cooperate with his other
teammates very well. Importantly, Isagi has often valued and recognized the
strengths of others' play, but as he proceeds through Blue Lock, he is able to
identify and harness his own strengths to score.

Ever since meeting and losing to Rin, Isagi has been chasing him, attempting to
surpass him at every turn. He goes out of his way to get closer to Rin, attempting
to copy his cooldown routines and adapting his mindset in an attempt to get closer
to his level. Isagi believes that when he is able to truly surpass Rin, he will be
closer than ever to his goal of becoming the best striker in the world. Isagi is
still prone to being nervous before big matches, such as the end of the First
Selection, the beginning of the Third Selection, or the Japan U-20 match, and was
slightly nervous while being interviewed after his decisive goal. However, in each
case, Isagi was able to fully realize his ego and confidently stake his place among
the best in Blue Lock, declaring that he would lead the Japan U-20 to victory in
the World Cup. Isagi now doesn't like it when someone believes that his successes
are just out of luck and not because of his skills as a striker. When he meets
Tada, an old teammate from his school, and comments how "lucky" he was to score
that goal in the match against Japan U-20, Isagi feels dismayed since Tada had
absolutely no idea how much he had to fight every day inside of Blue Lock to get in
the position he is currently, yet it does not dismay him for long as it motivates
him into returning to Blue Lock and evolving even more.

After the beginning of the Neo Egoist League, Isagi's ego is much more noticeable
than before, feeling completely insulted when Yukimiya questioned his decision to
make a pass, calling him someone with a small way of thinking. The conversation
enraged Isagi and provoked him to the point of almost getting into a fight with
Yukimiya inside of the dressing room. He is also entirely capable of showing
frustration when things don't go like he planned; in the Bastard München vs.
Manshine City match, he is frustrated and enraged when Kunigami took advantage of
his misfired shot due to Kaiser, and even more when Kaiser makes fun of him, saying
that he likes making passes to goal instead of making scoring goals himself, not
caring anymore about showing his egoism. According to Noel Noa, Isagi has an almost
identical perspective on football as Ego, as they both share a mutual obsessive
desire to win; he has even begun to exhibit a similar devilish smile on his face
like Ego's whenever he's pumped up.

In the final match against Paris X Gen, after learning that Noa has been using him
as a stepping stone for Kaiser from the very beginning, Isagi discovered an
unfamiliar level of rage and frustration within himself. As a result, Isagi
discovered a new ego, which relies on him "selling his soul for the sake of
winning", he no longer cared about being the star or even being able to surpass
"geniuses" in soccer, all that mattered to him was winning at any cost. Earning him
the respect of world class strikers like his former idol Noel Noa, who began to see
him as a genuine threat and accepted Isagi's grand public challenge to best him in
the upcoming PIFA World Cup.

At the end of the match, with Isagi scoring the winning goal, Rin Itoshi recognized
Isagi as the "Neo Egoist", he continued to evolve and adapt continuously, awakening
the ego of others and using them to achieve their own goals, recognizing him as the
"Demon King of Blue Lock".
