Yukio Ishikari
CharacterYukio Ishikari is billed as the tallest high-school footballer in Japan, a two-meter forward who reached Blue Lock's Team Red and Blue Lock Eleven. Assigned to Italy's Ubers for the Neo Egoist League, he never took the field and was ultimately dropped from the program.
Appearance
Ishikari's most obvious trait is his towering frame: at 200 centimeters he looms over even Blue Lock's other giants and holds the title of the country's tallest high-school player. He keeps his dark hair short and spiked upward with gel.
Personality
By his own account Ishikari rates his size, his strength in a scrap and his all-round athleticism as his best qualities, while admitting a bluntness toward others' feelings. His real passion lies away from football: he is a devoted basketball player who hopes to turn professional, and he openly wonders whether he should have chosen the court over the pitch. A Dragon Ball fan, he is especially fond of Android 18.

Abilities
Everything about Ishikari's game flows from his height. Standing a full two meters and armed with a strong vertical leap, he can rise above traffic to meet lofted balls with a header, nod passes on to teammates as he did with Aryu, or simply hold possession up high where shorter opponents cannot reach. Those aerial tools made him a natural target man, even if his Blue Lock run ended before he could truly show them off.
