Okuhito Iemon is an 18-year-old male from Kochi prefecture participating in the Blue Lock program. Standing 187 cm tall with blood type A, he has medium-length gray hair shaved on the sides, brown eyes, and short facial stubble giving him an older look, which Imamura noted as a "goalie face." Recruited as a forward like all Blue Lock entrants, Iemon found himself reassigned as Team Z's goalkeeper during the First Selection, a position unfamiliar to him due to his high school experience as a forward. Despite this sudden shift, he proved a capable goalkeeper, making a crucial penalty save against Reo Mikage, though he conceded goals against Teams X and Y. He described his adaptable playing style as that of a "jack of all trades." Supportive and diligent, Iemon often helped teammates with training preparations like arranging cones. When Team Z's initial tactician, Kuon, became unreliable and eventually betrayed the team, Iemon stepped into the tactical role. He led pre-match strategy discussions, analyzing opponents like Team W and Team V, and formulated Team Z's game plans. His leadership also included motivating teammates during low morale, rallying support for Isagi's efforts against Team W. He participated in the initial dormitory test and all Team Z's First Selection matches. His journey ended with elimination in the Second Selection. Post-elimination, he received minimal narrative focus. Personal trivia includes favoring the color green, enjoying coffee shop visits, admiring soccer player Edin Džeko, and disliking cream puffs. He ranked 20th in Blue Lock’s first popularity poll and was noted as the "least popular with women" among participants. His surname, Iemon (伊右衛門), translates to "right defensive gate," and his given name, Okuhito (送人), means "escort"—interpreted as a thematic reference to his goalkeeping role.
