Shizuka Haiji

Haiji cuts a slight, boyish figure with gentle, delicate features. Layered strands of light gray to bluish-gray hair fall in a fluffy, tousled mess around his face at medium length. Wide, rounded eyes in a pale green stand above a small nose and a faint mouth, and his skin is smooth without any facial hair. A recurring habit sees him resting a finger softly against his lips, lending him a pensive, curious air. Through the Second and Third Selections he wore the number 19.

He reads as reserved and soft-spoken. Those large round eyes and the finger-to-lips pose leave the impression of someone driven mostly by curiosity.

Haiji first surfaced among the last forwards still standing after the Second Selection, competing as a striker under number 19. He passed through Team White, the fourth clear team of Team Blue Lock, and Team A's fourth game before settling onto FC Barcha's reserve bench in the Neo Egoist League, where his rank drifted between 19, 31, and 32 over time. Once the fifth round wrapped with him in 32nd, the project let him go. His run still drew professional interest, as Sunflame Hiroshima, a club modeled on Sanfrecce Hiroshima, tabled a 6,000,000 yen offer for him.
