Jingo Raichi is a contender in the Blue Lock program, first appearing as a member of Team Z in the First Selection. He entered ranked 294th and improved to 95th by the Second Selection. Standing 182 cm tall with a muscular build, pale blonde hair, sharp shark-like teeth, and amber eyes, his imposing look matches his aggressive on-field presence. Raichi radiated extreme confidence and a hotheaded personality early on, frequently belittling teammates while chasing individual glory as a self-proclaimed striker. During Team Z's initial matches, he clashed with players like Yoichi Isagi over tactics. His volatile temper earned a red card against Team W after attacking teammate Wataru Kuon upon discovering Kuon's betrayal, though he later accepted Kuon's apology. Despite his scoring focus, Raichi netted no goals in the First Selection, shifting toward defensive support. His true strengths surfaced as unparalleled stamina and physicality. In an endurance test, he maintained 20 km/h for over 73 minutes, far exceeding teammates. This legendary stamina fueled relentless man-marking, notably stifling Reo Mikage in Team Z's match against Team V. Raichi's tenacity forced Reo into a yellow-card offense and contributed to Team Z's victory. His defensive impact continued into the Third Selection, where he joined Team B after studying top-player footage, signaling strategic growth. In the Neo Egoist League, Raichi's role transformed significantly. Recruited by Bastard München as a box-to-box midfielder, he adopted the #22 jersey and became the formation's "heart" under coach Noel Noa. He deployed a "Stalking Horse Defense" tactic – maintaining a tight radius around opponents like Marc Snuffy to intercept passes or force errors. Though still vocal and prone to barking instructions or criticism, he demonstrated increased teamwork, apologizing for mistakes and fulfilling tactical assignments for the team's benefit. His ranking rose to 21st, securing a spot in Japan's U-20 squad. Raichi hails from Nagasaki Prefecture and attended Ikarioka High School. His self-proclaimed motto is "sexy football," though his actual weapons are stamina, dueling ability, and defensive disruption. He admires Takashi Inui, enjoys foods like shrimp tempura bowls, and dislikes kazunoko for its texture.
