Kitsunezaka High School
CharacterKitsunezaka High School is the Yamaguchi Prefecture football club that Wataru Kuon founded and drove forward before Blue Lock. The team began with promise but faded as his teammates lost their drive, leaving Kuon as the lone player still chasing a national title.
Overview
Located in Japan's Yamaguchi Prefecture, this school side owes its very existence to Wataru Kuon, who rallied fellow students into forming a squad. Kuon later earned a place in Jinpachi Ego's Blue Lock Project, but the program he left behind carried a story of squandered ambition.
Role
Early on the club managed a handful of wins, yet enthusiasm across the roster steadily drained away. Skipped training sessions piled up, results turned sour, and defeats became routine. When Kuon tried to refocus everyone on reaching the national stage, his teammates brushed him off and mocked the notion, insisting the group lacked the quality to belong there. With only its founder still putting in real effort, Kitsunezaka never climbed high enough to qualify.
