Tetsu Sokura

Character

Tetsu Sokura entered the Blue Lock Project as a forward and cast his lot with Spain's FC Barcha, sitting on the reserve bench through the Neo Egoist League. Because he never stepped onto the pitch across the fifth round, the program cut him loose, ending his run without a single competitive minute.

Appearance

A matching blue runs through Sokura's cropped hair and his eyes, giving him a cool, even look. Sideburns drop as far down as his nose and frame a face that tends to hold a relaxed, unbothered set, while his brows sit short above them.

Personality

Composure is Sokura's usual register, and he carries himself without much visible tension. That steadiness cracked at least once, during the clash with Shidou's side, where he was caught off guard by how thoroughly Shidou got the better of him.

History

During the Second Selection, Sokura earned a place on a squad assembled by Ryusei Shidou, Reo Mikage, and Gurimu Igarashi, a sign that his peers judged him a capable striker. He later attached himself to FC Barcha as a reserve when the players chose overseas clubs for the Neo Egoist League. The tournament never gave him a run, though, and he finished the fifth round with no game time logged at all. That absence cost him his spot, and the project dropped him. He holds the odd distinction of being the sole Blue Lock hopeful who selected Spain yet never featured in a match.
