Kanzen Hidaka

Hidaka Kanzen (陽天完全), is a football player gone pro who currently plays as a Striker and Offensive Midfielder for the National team of Japan in addition to FC Eisenwölfe.

Having been forced to play the role of Defender in his high-school team of Yamamura High under physical threat of his teammates, he quit soccer a year prior to Blue Lock's events. Having only been invited after a one-time showcase securing a comeback win alone under the influence of his own ego. Through this show of feats, he was able to earn himself a spot in Team W-2 (Team W, 2nd Stratum).

Throughout the first, second and third selections; Kanzen awakened his arsenal of weapons and formulated a new image of himself that allowed him to perfect his plays and tactics. However, his childhood dreams crushed by his denial to be part of Blue Lock Eleven due to a lack of understanding in himself and more importantly what his strengths really were. He went to Germany's Bastard Munchen; location of Noel Noa in hopes of this wall blocking his growth being destroyed in the Neo Egoist League and him being able to catch up with those who had already improved.

Entering the world of those known best; he received an offer from Eisenwölfe where his perfectionistic attitude can be used to create goal-scoring opportunities for the best possible outcome. His goal? To guide Japan into winning the world cup single-handedly and make the team reach a level no one else can reproduce.

## Appearance

Kanzen is a relatively tall individual, standing at 6'1'' with a mesomorphic physique and sharp cobalt-blue eyes that hold a melancholic gaze. His skin is ever-so-slightly pale, and his hair is long on one side while being shorter on the other; clearly unkept yet elegant in a way.

Within Blue Lock, Kanzen simply follows the basic set of striped attire with a #8 Jersey which becomes #6 in the second selection and finally, the prized number of #1 that he believes is the 'Perfect' number and symbolises his worth. Of course, this is the Jersey number he tries to hog for himself in the Neo-Egoist League.

## Personality

Kanzen is a socially awkward individual. He has difficulty expressing himself in words and talking about himself. With that, he became a more solitary person, who spends most of his time alone with his thoughts. Although this can get in his way in some situations, it has allowed him to become someone more independent and focused on his goals. Despite this distant demeanor, Kanzen is a very intense person about his values. He has his own way of seeing the world, being guided by his perfectionism and desire to be unique, different; That is, without time for distractions and failures.

On the field, Kanzen is an equally focused player who tries to execute moves he considers perfect. This involves very little wasted energy and little time spent lamenting failures, a true minimalist and determined style. For all this meticulousness about movement and play, Kanzen is a very intuitive player on the field, reconciling his tactical knowledge with his willingness to assert himself on the field in his own way albeit caring about others naturally, still holding his own desires closer.

## Abilities

### Archetype

* **Clinical Finisher:** Clinical finishers are forwards that specialize in their accurate shooting ability. They are "clinical" in that they need few opportunities to score a goal being able to strike and place the ball exactly where it will beat the goalkeeper. They can be identified by their high goal to shots ratio. Clinical strikers usually play as center forwards though other attacking players can often be said to be clinical finishers**.**

While Kanzen is described as a Clinical Finisher: due to his nature of being able to score from anywhere given he has the inspiration to do so: his outstanding power, technique, accuracy and flexibility in shooting and other fields allow him freedom over other playstyle choices. In support of this, he has a well-developed physique allowing for contest in 1-on-1 situations alongside spatial awareness, reaction speed, positioning and feint skills that grant him the potential to fufill the rules of 'raumdeuter' and 'false nine' if needed.

### Skills

**Professional Football Technique:** Kanzen is considered one of the most promising players when it comes to space reading and accurate mid-long distance finishing. He is an intelligent player who plays without the ball, because when he has it in his possession, we can be sure that it will be a quick, unpredictable and deadly move. His consistency and high conversion rate has caught the attention of the public, investors, clubs and professional players.

**Spatial Awareness:** Kanzen is an analytical player whose focus is on finding spaces to attack as cleanly as possible. He searches the field in search of these spaces and also of players that he can use in his favor so that the play culminates in a perfect goal scored by him. In his mind, he envisions several possible paths and chooses the one that involves the least chance of conflict and minimizes the chances of his opponents using their respective weapons.

* **Off-The-Ball Movements:** Through his space reading and perfectionist style, Kanzen is a smart movement player who knows the right moments to spend and save stamina. He tends to move through his opponents' blind spot and position himself as a reference in the attack, increasing the chances of him being the player who will score the goal at the end of the play.

* **Dummy Body Feint**: A move where Kanzen runs towards a pass, pretends to trap the ball, but lets it pass between his legs. He uses this move in several ways, either for the ball to go to a better positioned teammate or for faster balls where he can go around the opponent and only catch it at the end through a run. He can also nutmeg his opponents in that way.

* **Null**: In Kanzen's concept of perfectionism, the ideal goal is one in which opponents don't have the slightest chance of causing any kind of interference. His "Null" technique consists of directing his prediction plays to the cleanest route where he can cause that feeling of impotence for his opponents, with unpredictable moves and finishes.

* **Metavision:** During his development in the Neo Egoist League, Kanzen learned to utilize his spatial awareness at a constant level with a high refresh rate, causing the routes he once saw to now create vast branches where he can get his perfect move; providing limitless inspiration.

**Body Coordination (Reflex):** Kanzen has a high level of coordination that allows him to make perfect movements without excesses and loss of energy, applying only the ideal strength for his moves to come true. In addition, he has great balance, which, together with his coordination, allows him to make acrobatic moves with ease.

**Perfect Trajectory Control:** Despite an instinctive talent for quick and acrobatic finishes, Kanzen constantly trains to perfect his technique, understanding the different ways of having contact with the ball to apply rotations and fluctuations when he performs his passes and finishes. With reaction speed, a great conversion rate, and a long firing range, he makes his unpredictable finishes his main asset as a Striker.

* **Insta-Kill Torpedo Shot:** A shot that focuses on a central contact point with the ball, minimising ball spin and giving the shot a straight trajectory with immense speed and power; catching opponent's off guard and capable of travelling a long distance due to it's force.

* **No-Flaw Perplexity Shot:** An instinctual shot involving kicking the ball midair as though performing a volley. This skill can easily travel in one direction or curve depending on the use it's seen fit for, but it's key prize point is the ability to behave like a normal shot despite it's complexity.

* **Horizontal Line Drive:** A highly versatile shot that can be hit with the user facing 90 degrees away from the ball, due to it's unreadability; catching opponents off-guard and bypassing them with a single fluid movement capable of generating minor curve but primarily aiming to maintain accuracy and force.

* **Instinctual Shot**: A shot designed to score without focusing on the ball and take full advantage of reflex skill; catching opponents off-guard with something that can't be predicted as it is "felt" by Kanzen and does not require for him to focus in any way and to take any convenient form.

* **Feral Fang Drive:** A skill gained with the inspiration of the infamous 'Kaiser Impact'. Except with Kanzen's own twist, applying all of his talent into a single attack. This shot is the ideal shot, involving a kick at full power with insane speed that minimises ball rotation for a brief moment, resulting in a slight curve; then utilising air resistance to completely redirect the shot's path mid-way by altering it's rotational movement.

* **Meteor Pass:** A long pass in the lobby that travels over the top of the opponents reaching the future point of movement of his teammates, involving several curve possibilities, but taking into account a low rotation that facilitates the first touch of the receiver, allowing the speed, control and flow of the game are maintained.

* **Fake Shot Feint**: Kanzen gets into a kicking stance, but then subtly cuts to the other side, tricking his opponents into finding a better opening for his kicks. He is capable of doing this move multiple times in a row.

**Flow State:** Flow, as described by Ego, is the state of "total immersion" or "being in the zone". It is the mental state in which a person performing some activity is fully immersed in a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and enjoyment in the process of the activity.

* When in Flow State, Kanzen elevates his perfectionism to an insane level. Becoming a player capable of erasing his presence from the field even more, to suddenly emerge scoring an unlikely goal. Similar to a wolf hunting its prey, it preys on its opponents' blind spots and weaknesses, assuming a more aggressive play style. In this state of concentration, Kanzen finds perfection in imperfection, and spares no energy, being able to make deadly runs to position himself, as well as risking shots even when unbalanced, far from the goal or at unfavorable angles. That was the way he found to outshine the players on the field, asserting his dominance on the field.

## Etymology

* The name Kanzen (完全) means "perfect, complete" and pieces together the characters for Kan ("perfect") (完) and Zen ("whole") (全) to create that meaning. The surname Hidaka (陽天) can be understood as Hi ("Sun, Light") (陽) and Daka ("Heavens, Sky, Imperial") (天)

* Thus, Hidaka Kanzen (陽天完全) can be interpreted as "Perfect Sunshine" directly. Despite the power of each name individually, it's minimalism overall portrays Kanzen's own personality.

## Quotes

* *Seems to me like some of you have thought for too long that those who hide in the background are nothing but side-characters...I'll change that.*
* *Defend all you want, as long as my foot can reach the ball nothing will stop me.*
* *Blue Lock is nothing but a fateful chance to play in an environment I thrive in.*
* *Stop flailing about like some fish out of water; It's a waste of my time.*
* *Only those who are willing to understand the very essence of their existence can become true egoists.*
* *30 seconds. That's the time it'll take me to demolish the field.*

## Trivia

* He's socially awkward outside of the pitch, often struggling to describe his talents and speak about himself without thinking he'll sound too egotistic or self-centred
* He speaks english to some degree, but struggles to understand certain slang or accents
* He watches anime when he's bored
* People say he has the potential to be a model, but he can't be asked to go to an agency. Also, he's only ever smiled twice...

* Despite not being much of the studying type, he has really neat handwriting.
* If it was his last day on earth, he'd die without ever coming up an idea because he took too long to think of something.
