* Appearance
* Profile

**Yo Hiori** (氷(ひ)織(おり) 羊(よう), *Yo Hiori*?) is a main character in the fan-made series **Universal Warriors**, Hiori is member of the **Kanto Manji Gang** and **Watage Group**, and major supporting character of the **Blue Lock**.

Hiori is a contender of **Blue Lock**, who currently is a member of Germany's **Bastard München** during the **Neo Egoist League**.

Hiori is a wise but soft-spoken forward who, when first introduced during Third Selection, was ranked 27th. He played as a substitute winger and sideback for the **Blue Lock Eleven** against the Japan U-20 team.

## Personality

Hiori is shown to be a polite young man. He is very friendly towards Isagi and Nanase, providing useful information after their match, as well as giving Isagi advice during the game.

He is also very insightful, being able to break down complex subjects into more casual examples, as well as provide useful hints and tips on how to perform better. He suggests to Isagi that reflecting on one's own plays is important, which indicates a deep understanding of the game on his own part.

Hiori is a very levelheaded person and player. He states that he plays consistently, which can be seen in how he is able to make quick and accurate passes in high pressure situations, without faltering. Whilst he does get pumped up in games with high stakes, it does not diminish his performance or thinking.

Hiori also said he is a gamer, as he was able to relate his understanding of soccer through the example of tile-matching video games.

## Character Design

He has choppy cyan hair that falls down his face and has soft feminine facial features, similar to Chigiri. His hair is neatly combed to sides with a longer strand of hair falling to one side.

At Blue Lock, Hiori wears the standard-issued body suit (black with gray lines) and tracksuit. During Second Selection, he wore Team Red's #27 jersey. During Third Selection, he wore Team A's black #27 jersey. During the match against the Japan U-20, Hiori dons an official blue colored Blue Lock player uniform with the #16.

## Abilities and Equipment

### Archetype

* **Deep-lying Playmaker**: A holding midfielder who specializes in ball skills such as passing rather than defensive skills like tackling. When this player has the ball, they may attempt longer or more complex passes than other holding players. They may try to set the tempo of their team's play, retain possession, or build plays through short exchanges, or they may try to pass the ball long to a center forward or winger, or even pass short to a teammate in the hole, the area between the opponents' defenders and midfielders.
Hiori's strong suit is his ability to remain levelheaded and reserved during the game, being able to calmly line up other players for a perfect pass. His combination of vision and ball control led Isagi to refer to him as a "Technician of 'Stillness'" as he serves the role of an anchor for the attack, synchronizing the other attackers movements with accurate passes. This makes him a strong playmaker, who can consistently put the ball in a good position for other attackers to score.

### Skills

* **Coolheaded Vision**: Hiori's vision enables him to envision the best pass to make in any given situation. Hiori constantly looks around himself during a game to assess the positions of the players around him, as well as the situation of the field, so he can both receive the ball in space and pass the ball into space. It is through this vision that he was able to form an almost telepathic link-up with Rin, trading calm passes and avoiding other players. He also considers the positions of his teammates in and around the goal area, before deciding on right pass. His vision enables him to see plays that his opponents do not expect such as his combination with Karasu to get around the U-20.

* **Expert Ball Control**: Hiori has very good ball control, being able to perform advanced techniques with the ball at his feet. He demonstrates this in his ability to do one-touch passes, releasing the ball in the same instant he receives it. He is also able to perform a trap using the bottom of his foot to receive passes, halting the momentum of the ball entirely and setting up a dead ball for him to pass. Whilst he isn't considered particularly able to overcome anyone in a 1v1, he is able to perform techniques that give him space, setting up a pass.
	+ **First Touch Pass**: Hiori is able to link-up with other players using his first touch to release the ball to a teammate. Thanks to his vision, he is able to always pass the ball into space, weaving through opposing players.
	+ **Rabona**: A technique where a player kicks the ball, with their kicking leg crossed behind their standing leg. Hiori can perform a rabona in a 1v1, using this against Chigiri to gain space for a cross.

* **Key Passing**: Hiori is a very talented passer, being able to not only make calm and accurate passes, but also read the situation of the whole field in order to make the correct pass. Isagi noted that his passing was both calm and precise, and Sendo compared the speed and curvature of his passes to Sae Itoshi's, a professional-level passer. Hiori was able to replicate Isagi's one-two passes with Rin, as well as instantly adapt to Rin's tempo using this skill. Hiori has also shown he can make fast passes with his weaker right foot, as well as fast and precise passes with the outside of his left.
	+ **Crossing**: Hiori is able to whip in fast and accurate crosses from the wing position or from a deeper position in midfield. These passes have incredible speed and curvature, being able to fool other players as to their destination. Hiori's crosses are so fast that Isagi was even unable to reach one of his crosses.
	+ **Outside Pass**: Hiori sends an incredibly quick pass using the outside of his foot, away from his mark. The speed and precision of this pass enables it to pass through even the most narrow spaces between opposing players.

* **Reflex**: Despite his levelheadedness and calm playmaking, one of Hiori's greatest strengths is his reflex. He uses his vision to determine the best plays, but it is his reflexive passing that best enacts this vision. When he receives the ball, taking into account the positions of other players on the field, Hiori will immediately pass when an opening presents itself in a dangerous area. He will also pass immediately when given space by his opponent. This makes it difficult to close him down or mark him, as any opening will be exploited by Hiori.

## Story

### Original

Hiori grew up in a household where his parents had a massive desire for him to be #1 in soccer. As a child, Hiori was forced to train in an elite program to be the best in the world. However, one day, he saw his dad arguing over Hiori's diet and his mom arguing over his training regime, and it led to both of them agreeing to divorce if he couldn't become #1 in the world at soccer. After he walked away from his parents' argument, Hiori tripped down a flight of stairs, and his parents heard the noise. They checked on Hiori and he asked his parents if it was his fault they were divorcing. They ignored the question and looked at his bleeding leg, and his parents agreed to call an ambulance. However, he noticed his parents weren't even looking at him, and that led to the idea that Hiori's parents didn't really care about him and only saw his talent as worth something. As he got older, Hiori continued playing soccer and indulged more in video games. One day, he met Tabito Karasu on his youth soccer team. Karasu said that Hiori was talented but doesn't have much passion for soccer. Hiori asks him if he likes having huge expectations forced on him and he explains to Karasu why he doesn't like soccer much. Karasu replies with "boring" and tells Hiori to think and believe about himself first and focus on expectations later, and says that Hiori should find someone that truly gets his blood pumping. He later gets a letter showing that he was selected for the Blue Lock project and sees Blue Lock as a way to get away from his parents and his expectations.
