Blue Lock is an anime that is primarily packed with male characters and its story is about 300 strikers competing to become the number one striker, Blue Lock isn’t completely unusual. Yet the series also features a couple of notable female characters that get a few more lines, but certainly not enough to make a player out of them, and they certainly stuck with fans. Here, we rank all named female characters in Blue Lock based on their popularity.
4) Junko Hiori
Appearance:
Junko has cyan hair and cyan eyes and is relatively athletic, thanks to her background as a professional high jumper.
Personality:
While her personality has never been explored, we know of her bitterness about being Japan’s second-best high jumper. Their ambition is so high that she projects it onto her son, Yo Hiori, urging him to achieve first place in football alongside her husband, Ginji.
Quote (in unison with Ginji Hiori): “If You can’t become number 1 in the world, then I want a divorce.”
- Name Meaning: “Junko” (順子) translates to “obedient child,” and “Hiori” (氷織) means “ice weaving.”
- Role in Blue Lock: Junko is Yo Hiori’s mother and Ginji Hiori’s wife. It has damaged Yo’s purpose in and ego about football – he was always pressured relentlessly by her to do the best under her thinking she wasn’t letting him win intentionally to please Ginji. This detachment comes in when they stick to Yo’s injured leg after falling down the stairs.
