The popular soccer manga "Blue Lock". The anime is scheduled to air from October 2022, and the momentum of this work is increasing. This time, we would like to introduce the top 10 popular characters from the players who appear in the early part of the series, along with the characteristics of each player and the voice actors who will be voicing them in the anime.
10th place: Ego Jinpachi (Ego Jinpachi) - Kamiya Hiroshi (Kamiya Hiroshi)
A person in a black suit who was hired to help Japan win the World Cup. He is also the one who came up with the idea of the "Blue Lock," and his unique and revolutionary approach to soccer has had a huge influence on the players, who are raw diamonds of talent. The voice actor for Eshin Jinpachi is Kamiya Hiroshi. He is a popular voice actor with countless roles, including Araragi Koyomi in the "Monogatari" series, Trafalgar Law in "One Piece," and Levi in "Attack on Titan." I'm already curious to see how he will portray Eshin.
9th place: Teieri Henri (Teieri Henri) - Yukimura Eri
A new employee of the Japan Football Union, she is the one who called Emi Jinpachi as a coach to achieve her dream of winning the World Cup. She is the only female in the work and often appears as a support for Emi. The voice actress for Teieri Henri is Yukimura Eri. Her appearances include the role of Emma in "The Magnificent Kotobuki" and the role of Quena in "In the Land of Leadale". He is a young man who has been active as a voice actor since 2018, so we would like to keep an eye on him from now on.
8th place: Itoshi Rin, Uchiyama Kouki
It's a bit of a tricky line to appear in the early stages, but he is a super popular character in the original work, so we introduced him here. He is the younger brother of Itoshi Sae, who belongs to the youth organization of a prestigious world club, and although he is only 16 years old, his talent is overwhelming even in "Blue Lock". The voice actor for Itoshi Rin is Uchiyama Kouki. He has played the role of Shigaraki Tomura in "My Hero Academia", Yuri Plisetsky in "Yuri!!! on ICE", and Sakaki Momo in "Anonymous Noise".
7th place: Mikage Reo and Uchida Yuuma
He is the heir to a large company called Mikage Corporation, and he has the talent to achieve top-class results in whatever he does. The voice actor for Mikage Reo is Uchida Yuuma. He is a popular voice actor who has been in high demand in anime in recent years, such as Fushiguro Megumi in "Jujutsu Kaisen", Kuzuryu Yaichi in "The Ryuo's Work is Never Done!", and Kawaki in "BORUTO: NARUTO NEXT GENERATIONS".
6th place: Kunigami Rensuke, Ono Yuki
Kunigami Rensuke is a large, brown-haired character who looks scary at first glance, but is a loyal and honest character. He is one of the characters who plays an important role in the story. The voice actor for Kunigami is Yuki Ono. He has played many cool characters who fight, such as Kagami Taiga in "Kuroko's Basketball", Higashikata Josuke in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Diamond is Unbreakable", and Fuyuzora Kogarashi in "Yuragi-sou no Yuuna-san". I think he is the perfect fit for the image of Kunigami Rensuke.
5th place: Barou Shouei, Junichi Suwabe
Barou Shouei is nicknamed the King, as he can dribble and shoot on his own. He has a self-centered personality, but he is still a talented player who has led opponents and teammates alike. The voice actor for Barou is Junichi Suwabe. He plays kingly characters with a cool, low voice, such as Atobe Keigo in "The Prince of Tennis," Aomine Daiki in "Kuroko's Basketball," and Ryomen Sukuna in "Jujutsu Kaisen."
4th place: Chigiri Hyoma, Saito Souma
Chigiri Hyoma is a very impressive player, with his good looks and long red hair. When you learn about his past and the abilities associated with it, you will understand why he is so popular. The voice actor for Sengiri Hyouma is Saito Soma. He is a highly skilled voice actor who has played a variety of characters, from handsome to slightly unattractive, such as Yumeno Gentaro in the "Hypnosis Mic" series, William James Moriarty in "Moriarty the Patriot," and Yamaguchi Tadashi in "Haikyu!!"
3rd place: Meguru Bachira and Tasuku Kaito
Meguru Bachira is a free-spirited character with a slightly unusual personality. His most distinctive feature is his dribbling, and the way he passes his opponents with his graceful movements and ball control is very vivid. The voice actor for Meguru Bachira is Tsubasa Kaito. Some of you may know him as Kohaku Oukawa in the "Ensemble Stars!!" series, but it is believed that he was the first major character in the anime to play the role of Meguru Bachira. He is a very popular character in the original work, so I'm curious to see what kind of voice he will be playing.
2nd place: Nagi Seishiro and Shimazaki Nobunaga
Nagi Seishiro was invited to play soccer by Mikage Reo because of his high trapping skills, and although he has only been playing for a few months, he is already a monster player with top-class skills. The voice actor for Nagi Seishiro is Shimazaki Nobunaga. He has played a wide range of characters, including Nanase Haruka in "Free!", Eugeo in "Sword Art Online: Alicization", and Kaito Shun in "The Disastrous Life of Saiki K."
1st place: Kiyoichi Isagi and Kazuki Ura
First place goes to the protagonist of this work, Kiyoichi Isagi. He aims to be the best FW in the world, but at first he struggles with not being self-centered and his mediocre abilities, but when he shows his true worth, you'll understand why he's ranked this high. The voice actor for Kiyoichi is Nozomi Urawa. He seems to have been given more major roles since 2022, including the role of Doi Shota in "World's End Harem" and the role of Aiba Kyosuke in "Futsal Boys!!!!!" There's probably a lot of pressure being the main character in the anime adaptation of a hugely popular work, but I'm looking forward to hearing what kind of voice Kiyo will have.
Summary
What did you think? When the information about the anime was released, I was really surprised by the luxury of the voice actors! In addition to the characters listed in this ranking, there are many other unique characters, so be sure to enjoy the main anime!
