Appearance

Sendo is a tall, lean, good-looking young man with fluffy salmon-red hair kept short and split by two side bangs of uneven length, the left dropping to his chin and the right to his cheek, with small undercuts hidden below and a tragus piercing. Thin, pale red eyes framed by long lashes usually sit under a calm or sour expression.

Personality

Cocky and sure of himself, Sendo loves to trumpet his own achievements, which tips easily into being loud and grating. He bristles at anyone who doubts his standing as the U-20 side's ace striker, using the insult against Blue Lock to push himself higher, even upgrading his marriage fantasy from a Japanese gravure idol to a Hollywood actress. Quick to snap back at whoever annoys him, he guards his ego fiercely and pours a deep passion into the game.

Abilities

Beyond the standard striker's job of scoring, Sendo excels as a second striker, dropping into midfield to shadow Shido on the national team and feeding Baro at Ubers by pouncing on loose second balls. His game rests on a tireless work rate, deep stamina, and a solid technical base across every phase. He poaches goals in decisive moments, as when he buries a rebound off Chigiri's block for Baro, and covers ground box to box, once clearing off his own line after Bachira's dribble before joining the counter for a shot of his own. He also reads pressing situations well, hounding Isagi so that Niko could rob him, and stepped in to deny Yo Hiori's feint shot to save Ubers.
